Expand Step 6 to categorize files (profile.md, ChatGPT exports, markdown,
PDF), extract profile information, and convert conversations to session
format. Add conditional logic in File Creation to populate profile.md
from imports instead of copying blank template. Add Step 6 for creating
dated session files from imported conversations.

Import step now comes before modality selection. If user imports notes,
therapist reads them and recommends modalities based on their history.
Also adds reminder that modalities can be changed and therapist auto-switches.

Moves all customization commands (persona, modality, structure, update,
import) to a separate file that gets copied to .therapy/ during setup.
This allows existing users to receive new commands via the update flow.

Imports now create session files with original dates instead of just
reading once and extracting to profile. This provides natural relevance
decay as new sessions accumulate. Also adds post-setup import command.

Consolidates inner-dialogue-deeper content into the main repo. Removes
expansion pack gating, Gumroad references, and the two-tier setup flow.

offered directly during setup. Bumps kit_version to 2.0.0.

and tokens for users on rate-limited plans.

Swap personas so that Warm 4o-Style is the default free option and
Warm & Supportive moves to the expansion pack. This better aligns
the core experience with a conversational, friend-like style.

Update all references from "AI Therapy Starter Kit" to "Inner Dialogue",
rename expansion pack to "Inner Dialogue: Deeper", and update GitHub URLs
to ataglianetti/inner-dialogue.
CLAUDE.md (setup) was already reworked for core/expansion split.
This completes the remaining two files:
CLAUDE.template.md (in-session behavior):
- Modality switching checks installed modalities instead of hard-coding all 6
- Natural language triggers point to library dirs instead of listing expansion content
- Persona selection reads library and conditionally shows expansion options
docs/GETTING-STARTED.md:
- Setup overview shows core defaults (2 personas, CBT only)
- Customization sections reference Expansion Pack for additional content

- Added discoverability hints (first-session closing, help response)
- Removed source_repo from version.json (only source_url remains)
- Deleted obsolete setup.sh and setup.ps1 scripts

Claude now guides users through setup interactively:
- Greets immediately on first message
- Asks questions one at a time (safety, name, style, etc.)
- Creates files directly using Write tool
- No scary permission prompt before conversation starts
All persona and modality content is now inline in CLAUDE.md
so Claude can assemble the final config without reading
separate files.

When users clone the repo and run `claude`, it now automatically
offers to run the setup script instead of requiring manual steps.
