docs: Recommend .md extension for PRD files (#1397)
* docs: Clarify Claude Code .claude configuration behavior and recommend .md for PRDs

This addresses two documentation improvements:

1. **Claude Code Configuration Behavior (#1180)**
   - Added comprehensive section explaining how Task Master interacts with Claude Code's .claude configuration
   - Clarified that Task Master only passes MCP config when claudeCode.mcpServers is configured
   - Documented precedence: explicit Task Master config vs Claude CLI defaults
   - Provided practical examples for different configuration scenarios
   - Added recommendations for deterministic vs. existing-setup workflows

2. **PRD File Extension Recommendation**
   - Updated all examples to use .md extension instead of .txt for PRD files
   - Added prominent note explaining benefits of .md: syntax highlighting, proper rendering, better collaboration
   - Updated directory structure diagrams and workflow examples
   - Clarified that both extensions work, but .md is recommended for editor support

Files modified:
- docs/examples/claude-code-usage.md: Added "Claude Code Configuration Behavior" section
- assets/AGENTS.md: Updated all PRD references to use .md, added PRD format note

Resolves: eyaltoledano/claude-task-master#1180

* chore: Add changeset and require changesets for PRs

- Added changeset for documentation updates (patch)
- Updated CLAUDE.md to require changesets for all PRs

* docs: Simplify PR to only recommend .md extension for PRDs

Based on feedback from @ben-vargas:

**Removed:**
- Changeset file (not needed for docs-only PR)
- Claude Code `.claude` configuration behavior documentation (will become stale when upgrading to ai-sdk-provider-claude-code v2.0.0+ which uses @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk)

**Updated:**
- CLAUDE.md changeset guidelines: clarified changesets are only needed for code changes, not docs-only PRs

**Kept:**
- PRD file format recommendation: Updated all examples to use `.md` extension instead of `.txt` for better editor support, syntax highlighting, and rendering
- Added note explaining benefits of `.md` format

This keeps the PR focused on the non-controversial PRD format improvement and avoids documenting behavior that will soon change.

Addresses feedback in: #1180

* docs: Update apps/docs to recommend .md extension for PRD files

Applied the same PRD format recommendations to the user-facing documentation site:

- apps/docs/getting-started/quick-start/prd-quick.mdx:
  - Updated template references from .txt to .md
  - Added explanation of .md benefits in note box
  - Updated all command examples to use .md extension
  - Updated file naming examples

- apps/docs/capabilities/rpg-method.mdx:
  - Updated RPG template reference to .md
  - Updated standard template reference to .md
  - Updated parse-prd command examples
  - Updated workflow examples

Addresses @Crunchyman-ralph's request to update apps/docs

* refactor: Rename PRD template files from .txt to .md extension

Renamed actual template files to match documentation updates:
- .taskmaster/templates/example_prd.txt → example_prd.md
- .taskmaster/templates/example_prd_rpg.txt → example_prd_rpg.md

This ensures the actual files match what we're recommending in the documentation.
