feat: merge prepare and run steps into unified entry point

Consolidates the two-step architecture (prepare → run) into a single
step to eliminate file-based and output-based communication.

Changes:
- Add base-action/src/lib.ts with exports for main action import
- Modify run-claude-sdk.ts to accept prompt string directly and return result
- Add generatePromptContent() that returns prompt without file I/O
- Update mode prepare() to return promptContent in result
- Create src/entrypoints/run.ts as unified entry point
- Update action.yml to use single Run Claude Code step
- Update output references from steps.prepare to steps.claude-code

Benefits:
- No file I/O for prompt - data stays in memory
- No step output parsing - direct function returns
- Simpler debugging - single entry point
- Faster execution - no subprocess overhead
- Type safety - TypeScript across the boundary

 ## Commit Signing
 
-By default, commits made by Claude are unsigned. You can enable commit signing using one of two methods:
+Commits made by Claude through this action are no longer automatically signed with commit signatures. To enable commit signing set `use_commit_signing: True` in the workflow(s). This ensures the authenticity and integrity of commits, providing a verifiable trail of changes made by the action.
-
-### Option 1: GitHub API Commit Signing (use_commit_signing)
-
-This uses GitHub's API to create commits, which automatically signs them as verified from the GitHub App:
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@main
-  with:
-    use_commit_signing: true
-```
-
-This is the simplest option and requires no additional setup. However, because it uses the GitHub API instead of git CLI, it cannot perform complex git operations like rebasing, cherry-picking, or interactive history manipulation.
-
-### Option 2: SSH Signing Key (ssh_signing_key)
-
-This uses an SSH key to sign commits via git CLI. Use this option when you need both signed commits AND standard git operations (rebasing, cherry-picking, etc.):
-
-```yaml
-- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@main
-  with:
-    ssh_signing_key: ${{ secrets.SSH_SIGNING_KEY }}
-    bot_id: "YOUR_GITHUB_USER_ID"
-    bot_name: "YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME"
-```
-
-Commits will show as verified and attributed to the GitHub account that owns the signing key.
-
-**Setup steps:**
-
-1. Generate an SSH key pair for signing:
-
-   ```bash
-   ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/signing_key -N "" -C "commit signing key"
-   ```
-
-2. Add the **public key** to your GitHub account:
-
-   - Go to GitHub → Settings → SSH and GPG keys
-   - Click "New SSH key"
-   - Select **Key type: Signing Key** (important)
-   - Paste the contents of `~/.ssh/signing_key.pub`
-
-3. Add the **private key** to your repository secrets:
-
-   - Go to your repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
-   - Create a new secret named `SSH_SIGNING_KEY`
-   - Paste the contents of `~/.ssh/signing_key`
-
-4. Get your GitHub user ID:
-
-   ```bash
-   gh api users/YOUR_USERNAME --jq '.id'
-   ```
-
-5. Update your workflow with `bot_id` and `bot_name` matching the account where you added the signing key.
-
-**Note:** If both `ssh_signing_key` and `use_commit_signing` are provided, `ssh_signing_key` takes precedence.
