    src/sbbs3/CLAUDE.md: single-line compound blocks are non-conformant

    An uncrustify --check PASS doesn't prove house-style conformance: the
    config tolerates '{ stmt; stmt; }' single-line compound blocks (as slipped
    into e0288fcd8f (yeah-33-error), corrected in def04a30bf
    (sell-11-introduced)). Document that such blocks must be expanded, that
    the compact 'case X: stmt; break;' switch-table idiom is the sanctioned exception, and that enabling nl_after_semicolon/nl_after_brace_open to
    enforce this was evaluated and rejected (it would reflow ~822 lines across
    57 files, mostly those case tables and one-line enum declarations).

    CLAUDE.md: don't run uncrustify across a whole pre-existing file

    uncrustify is a reformatter, not a linter, and the long-lived files in
    this tree are not uncrustify-clean. Pointed at sbbs.h it re-indents the
    whole sbbs_t class body -- some 2500 lines of pure whitespace churn --
    and mangles the compact one-line inline methods rainbow_len(), timeon(), timeused() and current_subnum() into broken multi-line forms. In .cpp
    files it re-aligns declaration blocks nowhere near the edit. Either way
    a small change ends up buried in noise.

    Record the exception, and a check for it: compare git diff -w against
    git diff for the file, since a gap between the substantive and total
    line counts is exactly what collateral reformatting looks like.
