Initialize standardized project memory:

┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ CLAUDE.md（项目宪法）← 人工确认 │
│ ↑ candidates（AI 自动收集候选） │

Core idea: bottom feeds top, top constrains bottom. Logs and TODOs are raw facts. Handoff marks the next resume point. Wiki is the current snapshot. Structure manages file organization. Docs index manages document output. Update Log records versioned milestone changes. Constitution is stable principles.
Supports 3 language modes: English (`en`), Chinese (`zh`), or bilingual. All content adapts to the selected language.
