feat: implement v3.0.1 - fix silent postinstall failures with auto-recovery

- Add auto-recovery mechanisms for missing/corrupted configuration files
- Implement comprehensive health check command (`ccs doctor`)
- Enhance error messages with context-aware diagnostics and recovery commands
- Fix silent postinstall failures - now exits with proper error codes
- Add RecoveryManager class for automatic config restoration
- Add ErrorManager class for structured, helpful error messages
- Update postinstall script to validate created files and auto-create ~/.claude/settings.json
- Add doctor command support to bash and npm implementations
- Implement atomic file operations to prevent corruption
- Add comprehensive testing scenarios and validation

Fixes critical issue where npm install succeeded but CCS failed on first run.
Enhances user experience with automatic recovery and clear error guidance.

BREAKING CHANGE: Postinstall now exits with error code 1 on critical failures
