Change: Update Memory Lesson with Latest Documentation

Why

The current memory lesson (blog-posts/02-memory.md) is based on older Claude Code documentation. The official documentation at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory includes several new features and updates that the lesson doesn't cover, making it incomplete for readers who want to learn about Claude Code's full memory capabilities.

What Changes

New Features to Add

Project Rules (.claude/rules/*.md) - Modular, topic-specific markdown files for organizing instructions
Path-Specific Rules - YAML frontmatter with paths: to scope rules to specific file patterns
Glob Pattern Support - Examples of glob patterns for path-specific rules
Project Local Memory (CLAUDE.local.md) - Personal project preferences that are auto-gitignored
Symlink Support - Sharing rules across projects using symbolic links

Updates to Existing Content

Memory Hierarchy Table - Update to include Project Rules and Project Local as additional memory types
Enterprise Policy Windows Path - Correct to C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md (currently shows C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode\CLAUDE.md)
Memory Lookup Algorithm - Add detailed explanation of recursive upward search behavior
Best Practices Section - Add guidelines for .claude/rules/ organization

Structure Improvements

Add new section: "Modular Rules with .claude/rules/"
Add new section: "Path-Specific Rules"
Update directory structure example to show .claude/rules/ organization
Improve organization of content to match official documentation structure

Impact

Affected files: blog-posts/02-memory.md
User benefit: Readers will learn about complete memory capabilities including modular rules and path-specific scoping
No breaking changes: All existing content remains valid; this adds new sections and updates outdated information
