Update dependencies, roadmap, and add indexing scripts

- Add LanceDB (@lancedb/lancedb) for vector database
- Add @xenova/transformers for local embeddings
- Add gray-matter for YAML frontmatter parsing
- Update ROADMAP.md with Phase 1 completion status
- Add indexing scripts: index-docs.ts, test-parser.ts, test-search.ts
- Add .claude/ configuration for MCP server settings
- Add npm script: index-docs for rebuilding search index

+## Recent Progress (2025-01-23)
+
+**Phase 1 Core Features - COMPLETED** ✅
+
+Successfully implemented vector search with local embeddings:
+- ✅ Installed and configured LanceDB + @xenova/transformers
+- ✅ Created document parser with YAML frontmatter extraction
+- ✅ Built indexer that processes 745 markdown files
+- ✅ Generated vector embeddings using Xenova/all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (local, no API costs)
+- ✅ Implemented `search_babylon_docs` MCP tool with semantic search
+- ✅ Implemented `get_babylon_doc` MCP tool for document retrieval
+- ✅ Added relevance scoring and snippet extraction
+- ✅ Tested successfully with "Vector3" query
+
+**Key Implementation Details:**
+- Vector database: LanceDB stored in `./data/lancedb`
+- Embedding model: Runs locally in Node.js via transformers.js
+- Indexed fields: title, description, keywords, category, breadcrumbs, content, headings, code blocks
+- Search features: Semantic similarity, category filtering, ranked results with snippets
+- Scripts: `npm run index-docs` to rebuild index
