feat: Add local storage adapter and update CLAUDE.md with permanent rules

- Add local-storage.ts with smart folder structure:
  /storage/products/{brand}/{state}/{product_id}/
- Add storage-adapter.ts unified abstraction
- Add docker-compose.local.yml (NO MinIO)
- Add start-local.sh convenience script
- Update CLAUDE.md with:
  - PERMANENT RULES section (no data deletion)
  - DEPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION requirements
  - LOCAL DEVELOPMENT defaults
  - STORAGE BEHAVIOR documentation
  - FORBIDDEN ACTIONS list
  - UI ANONYMIZATION rules

 ## Claude Guidelines for this Project
 
+---
+
+## PERMANENT RULES (NEVER VIOLATE)
+
+### 1. NO DELETION OF DATA — EVER
+
+CannaiQ is a **historical analytics system**. Data retention is **permanent by design**.
+
+**NEVER delete:**
+- Product records
+- Crawled snapshots
+- Images
+- Directories
+- Logs
+- Orchestrator traces
+- Profiles
+- Selector configs
+- Crawl outcomes
+- Store data
+- Brand data
+
+**NEVER automate cleanup:**
+- No cron or scheduled job may `rm`, `unlink`, `delete`, `purge`, `prune`, `clean`, or `reset` any storage directory or DB row
+- No migration may DELETE data — only add/update/alter columns
+- If cleanup is required, ONLY the user may issue a manual command
+
+**Code enforcement:**
+- `local-storage.ts` must only: write files, create directories, read files
+- No `deleteImage`, `deleteProductImages`, or similar functions
+
+### 2. DEPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED
+
+**NEVER deploy to production unless the user explicitly says:**
+> "CLAUDE — DEPLOYMENT IS NOW AUTHORIZED."
+
+Until then:
+- All work is LOCAL ONLY
+- No `kubectl apply`, `docker push`, or remote operations
+- No port-forwarding to production
+- No connecting to Kubernetes clusters
+
+### 3. LOCAL DEVELOPMENT BY DEFAULT
+
+**In local mode:**
+- Use `docker-compose.local.yml` (NO MinIO)
+- Use local filesystem storage at `./storage`
+- Connect to local PostgreSQL at `localhost:54320`
+- Backend runs at `localhost:3010`
+- NO remote connections, NO Kubernetes, NO MinIO
+
+**Environment:**
+```bash
+STORAGE_DRIVER=local
+STORAGE_BASE_PATH=./storage
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://dutchie:dutchie_local_pass@localhost:54320/dutchie_menus
+# MINIO_ENDPOINT is NOT set (forces local storage)
+```
+
+---
+
+## STORAGE BEHAVIOR
+
+### Local Storage Structure
+
+```
+/storage/products/{brand}/{state}/{product_id}/
+  image-{hash}.webp
+  image-{hash}-medium.webp
+  image-{hash}-thumb.webp
+
+/storage/brands/{brand}/
+  logo-{hash}.webp
+```
+
+### Storage Adapter
+
+```typescript
+import { saveImage, getImageUrl } from '../utils/storage-adapter';
+
+// Automatically uses local storage when STORAGE_DRIVER=local
+```
+
+### Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `backend/src/utils/local-storage.ts` | Local filesystem adapter |
+| `backend/src/utils/storage-adapter.ts` | Unified storage abstraction |
+| `docker-compose.local.yml` | Local stack without MinIO |
+| `start-local.sh` | Convenience startup script |
+
+---
+
+## FORBIDDEN ACTIONS
+
+1. **Deleting any data** (products, snapshots, images, logs, traces)
+2. **Deploying without explicit authorization**
+3. **Connecting to Kubernetes** without authorization
+4. **Port-forwarding to production** without authorization
+5. **Starting MinIO** in local development
+6. **Using S3/MinIO SDKs** when `STORAGE_DRIVER=local`
+7. **Automating cleanup** of any kind
+8. **Dropping database tables or columns**
+9. **Overwriting historical records** (always append snapshots)
+
+---
+
+## UI ANONYMIZATION RULES
+
+- No vendor names in forward-facing URLs: use `/api/az/...`, `/az`, `/az-schedule`
+- No "dutchie", "treez", "jane", "weedmaps", "leafly" visible in consumer UIs
+- Internal admin tools may show provider names for debugging
+
+---
+
+## FUTURE TODO / PENDING FEATURES
+
+- [ ] Orchestrator observability dashboard
+- [ ] Crawl profile management UI
+- [ ] State machine sandbox (disabled until authorized)
+- [ ] Multi-state expansion beyond AZ
+
+---
+
 ### Multi-Site Architecture (CRITICAL)
