feat: implement Task 10 - Develop Universal Pattern Classification System

- Created PatternClassification molecule for hierarchical category management
- Added comprehensive CRUD operations for categories and pattern assignments
- Integrated with ChromaDB for persistent storage and retrieval
- Implemented idempotent operations for pattern-category assignments
- Added comprehensive test suite with 8 test cases covering all functionality
- Integrated classification system into KnowledgeManager organism
- Exported PatternClassification in molecules __init__.py

✅ Quality: 8/8 tests passing, zero critical violations
✅ Tests: Complete test coverage for category and pattern management operations
📋 TaskMaster: Task 10 marked complete (13/25 tasks done - 52% progress)
🎯 Next: Task 14 - Comprehensive Testing of Enhanced Local System
