Import from claudecode looks for .claude/CLAUDE.md instead of root CLAUDE.md

Description

When running rulesync import -t claudecode, the tool looks for .claude/CLAUDE.md but Claude Code's standard location is CLAUDE.md at project root.

Error

[rulesync] ℹ Found 0 root tool rule files
[rulesync] ℹ Reading file: /path/to/project/.claude/CLAUDE.md
[rulesync]  ERROR  Failed to load tool files: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/path/to/project/.claude/CLAUDE.md'

Expected Behavior

Rulesync should look for CLAUDE.md at project root (same directory as rulesync.jsonc), not inside .claude/ directory.

Claude Code Documentation

Per Claude Code docs, the standard locations are:

• ./CLAUDE.md - Project root
• ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md - Global user config

There is no .claude/CLAUDE.md in the standard Claude Code setup.

Environment

• rulesync version: 5.2.1
• OS: macOS

Workaround

Creating a symlink: ln -s ../CLAUDE.md .claude/CLAUDE.md resolves the error, but this shouldn't be necessary.

@adelin-b Thank you.

According to the doc, a project mode memory path is ./CLAUDE.md or ./.claude/CLAUDE.md.

I guess ./CLAUDE.md should be also supported. I wonder which one is officially recommended 🤔
