Cal Corum 5c75b935f0 CLAUDE: Initial project setup - documentation and infrastructure
Add comprehensive project documentation and Docker infrastructure for
Paper Dynasty Real-Time Game Engine - a web-based multiplayer baseball
simulation platform replacing the legacy Google Sheets system.

Documentation Added:
- Complete PRD (Product Requirements Document)
- Project README with dual development workflows
- Implementation guide with 5-phase roadmap
- Architecture docs (backend, frontend, database, WebSocket)
- CLAUDE.md context files for each major directory

Infrastructure Added:
- Root docker-compose.yml for full stack orchestration
- Dockerfiles for backend and both frontends (multi-stage builds)
- .dockerignore files for optimal build context
- .env.example with all required configuration
- Updated .gitignore for Python, Node, Nuxt, and Docker

Project Structure:
- backend/ - FastAPI + Socket.io game engine (Python 3.11+)
- frontend-sba/ - SBA League Nuxt 3 frontend
- frontend-pd/ - PD League Nuxt 3 frontend
- .claude/implementation/ - Detailed implementation guides

Supports two development workflows:
1. Local dev (recommended): Services run natively with hot-reload
2. Full Docker: One-command stack orchestration for testing/demos

Next: Phase 1 implementation (backend/frontend foundations)
