Subject: [PATCH] fix: create CLAUDE.md from template when registering groups
 via IPC

The registerGroup() function in index.ts creates the group folder and
logs subdirectory but never copies the global CLAUDE.md template.
Agents in newly registered groups start without identity or
instructions until the container is manually fixed.

Copy groups/global/CLAUDE.md into the new group folder on registration,
substituting the assistant name if it differs from the default.

Closes #1391
