feat: SPEC-20 enhancements - cleanup, path normalization, and docs

This commit adds several critical improvements discovered during
manual testing of SPEC-20 project-scoped rclone sync:

**Critical Bug Fixes:**

1. Path Normalization (fixes path doubling bug)
   - API: Strip /app/data/ prefix in project_router.py
   - CLI: Defensive normalization in project.py
   - Rclone: Fix get_project_remote() path construction
   - Prevents files syncing to /app/data/app/data/project/

2. Rclone Flag Fix
   - Changed --filters-file to correct --filter-from flag
   - Fixes "unknown flag" error in sync and bisync

**Enhancements:**

3. Automatic Database Sync
   - POST to /{project}/project/sync after file operations
   - Keeps database in sync with files automatically
   - Skipped on --dry-run operations

4. Enhanced Project Removal
   - Clean up local sync directory (with --delete-notes)
   - Always remove bisync state directory
   - Always remove cloud_projects config entry
   - Informative messages about what was/wasn't deleted

5. Bisync State Reset Command
   - New: bm project bisync-reset <project>
   - Clears corrupted bisync metadata
   - Safe recovery tool for bisync issues

6. Improved Project List UI
   - Show Local Path column in cloud mode
   - Conditionally show/hide columns based on config
   - Prevent path truncation with no_wrap/overflow
   - Apply path normalization to display

**Documentation:**

7. Cloud CLI Documentation
   - Add troubleshooting: empty directory bisync issues
   - Add troubleshooting: bisync state corruption
   - Document bisync-reset command usage
   - Explain rclone bisync limitations

8. SPEC-20 Updates
   - Mark implementation complete
   - Document all enhancements in Implementation Notes
   - Update phase checklists with completed work
   - Add manual testing results

**Tests:**

9. Unit Tests for --local-path

## Implementation Notes
### Key Improvements Added During Implementation
**1. Path Normalization (Critical Bug Fix)**
**Problem:** Files were syncing to `/app/data/app/data/project/` instead of `/app/data/project/`
**Root cause:**
- S3 bucket contains projects directly (e.g., `basic-memory-llc/`)
- Fly machine mounts bucket at `/app/data/`
- API returns paths like `/app/data/basic-memory-llc` (mount point + project)
- Rclone was using this full path, causing path doubling
**Solution (three layers):**
- API side: Added `normalize_project_path()` in `project_router.py` to strip `/app/data/` prefix
- CLI side: Added defensive normalization in `project.py` commands
- Rclone side: Updated `get_project_remote()` to strip prefix before building remote path
**Files modified:**
- `src/basic_memory/api/routers/project_router.py` - API normalization
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/project.py` - CLI normalization
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/cloud/rclone_commands.py` - Rclone remote path construction
**2. Automatic Database Sync After File Operations**
**Enhancement:** After successful file sync or bisync, automatically trigger database sync via API
**Implementation:**
- After `project sync`: POST to `/{project}/project/sync`
- After `project bisync`: POST to `/{project}/project/sync` + update config timestamps
- Skip trigger on `--dry-run`
- Graceful error handling with warnings
**Benefit:** Files and database stay in sync automatically without manual intervention
**3. Enhanced Project Removal with Cleanup**
**Enhancement:** `bm project remove` now properly cleans up local artifacts
**Behavior with `--delete-notes`:**
- ✓ Removes project from cloud API
- ✓ Deletes cloud files
- ✓ Removes local sync directory
- ✓ Removes bisync state directory
- ✓ Removes `cloud_projects` config entry
**Behavior without `--delete-notes`:**
- ✓ Removes project from cloud API
- ✗ Keeps local files (shows path in message)
- ✓ Removes bisync state directory (cleanup)
- ✓ Removes `cloud_projects` config entry
**Files modified:**
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/project.py` - Enhanced `remove_project()` function
**4. Bisync State Reset Command**
**New command:** `bm project bisync-reset <project>`
**Purpose:** Clear bisync state when it becomes corrupted (e.g., after mixing dry-run and actual runs)
**What it does:**
- Removes all bisync metadata from `~/.basic-memory/bisync-state/{project}/`
- Forces fresh baseline on next `--resync`
- Safe operation (doesn't touch files)
- Also runs automatically on project removal
**Files created:**
- Added `bisync-reset` command to `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/project.py`
**5. Improved UI for Project List**
**Enhancements:**
- Shows "Local Path" column in cloud mode for projects with sync configured
- Conditionally shows/hides columns based on config:
- Local Path: only in cloud mode
- Default: only when `default_project_mode` is True
- Uses `no_wrap=True, overflow="fold"` to prevent path truncation
- Applies path normalization to prevent showing mount point details
**Files modified:**
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/project.py` - Enhanced `list_projects()` function
**6. Documentation of Known Issues**
**Issue documented:** Rclone bisync limitation with empty directories
**Problem:** "Empty prior Path1 listing. Cannot sync to an empty directory"
**Explanation:** Bisync creates listing files that track state. When both directories are completely empty, these listing files are considered invalid.
**Solution documented:** Add at least one file (like README.md) before running `--resync`
**Files updated:**
- `docs/cloud-cli.md` - Added troubleshooting sections for:
- Empty directory issues
- Bisync state corruption
- Usage of `bisync-reset` command
### Rclone Flag Fix
**Bug fix:** Incorrect rclone flag causing sync failures
**Error:** `unknown flag: --filters-file`
**Fix:** Changed `--filters-file` to correct flag `--filter-from` in both `project_sync()` and `project_bisync()` functions
**Files modified:**
- `src/basic_memory/cli/commands/cloud/rclone_commands.py`
### Test Coverage
**Unit tests added:**
- `tests/cli/test_project_add_with_local_path.py` - 4 tests for `--local-path` functionality
- Test with local path saves to config
- Test without local path doesn't save to config
- Test tilde expansion in paths
- Test nested directory creation
**Manual testing completed:**
- All 10 project commands tested end-to-end
- Path normalization verified
- Database sync trigger verified
- Cleanup on remove verified
- Bisync state reset verified
