🧹 Clean up obsolete code after file-based agent system migration

Cleanup Tasks Completed:
• Remove populate_agents management command (obsolete with file-based agents)
• Clean up unused Agent serializers and API endpoints
• Remove redundant database model imports and queries
• Update documentation to reflect file-based architecture

Technical Changes:
• Deleted agents/management/commands/populate_agents.py
• Removed AgentSerializer and AgentCategorySerializer (unused)
• Removed agent_list and agent_detail API endpoints (replaced by file service)
• Cleaned up unused imports (models.db)
• Updated CLAUDE.md documentation for file-based system

Benefits:
• Cleaner codebase with 100+ lines removed
• No obsolete database commands
• Streamlined API surface (only execution-related endpoints remain)
• Updated documentation reflects current architecture
• All functionality verified working

All 8 agents and marketplace functionality confirmed operational after cleanup.
