feat: remove automatic Happy daemon startup

Removes unreliable automatic Happy Coder daemon startup, allowing users
to start it manually when needed for better reliability and control.

**Changes:**
- scripts/init-repo.sh: Removed Happy daemon startup code and lock cleanup
- scripts/startapp.sh: Updated comment to reflect init-repo only handles git
- README.md: Updated startup flow documentation and troubleshooting section
- CLAUDE.md: Updated startup flow and file descriptions

**Benefits:**
- No more unreliable automatic daemon startup failures
- Users can start Happy daemon manually when needed: `happy daemon start`
- Cleaner container startup without Happy-related delays or errors
- Happy configuration and credentials still persist on PVC when used

**Usage:**
Users can now manually start Happy Coder when needed:
```bash
happy daemon start  # Start when needed
happy daemon status # Check status
happy daemon stop   # Stop if needed
```

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Happy Coder daemon not starting
+### Happy Coder (manual startup)
+
+Happy daemon is not started automatically. Launch it manually when needed:
 
 ```bash
+# Start Happy Coder daemon manually
+happy daemon start
+
 # Check daemon status
 happy daemon status
 
-# Start manually (also clears any stale lock)
-happy daemon start
-
 # View daemon logs
 ls ~/.happy/logs/
+
+# Stop daemon if needed
+happy daemon stop
 ```
