Enhance code quality with improved error handling, resource management, and documentation

This commit implements several code quality improvements:

**Error Handling:**
- Add ReadOnlyError exception for write attempts with descriptive messages
- Add DuplicatePathError exception to prevent duplicate file paths
- Replace generic string errors with properly typed exceptions

**Resource Management:**
- Implement close() and closed?() methods following IO conventions
- Add block form to get/get? for automatic resource cleanup
- Add finalize for garbage collection safety
- Validate file state before operations

**Thread Safety:**
- Create new BakedFile instances on each get() call
- Ensures independent state per caller, preventing conflicts

**Code Quality:**
- Refactor StringEncoder to use readable character literals
- Replace magic numbers with self-documenting code

**Documentation:**
- Add comprehensive architecture documentation to BakedFile class
- Document rewind recreation logic with performance implications
- Explain design decisions and alternatives considered
- Add detailed method documentation

**Testing:**
- Add tests for write protection and error messages
- Add tests for close functionality and block forms
- Add tests for duplicate path detection
- All tests passing

These improvements enhance maintainability, thread safety, and developer
experience while maintaining backward compatibility.

+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Baked File System** is a Crystal language library that embeds static files into compiled binaries at compile time, allowing zero-cost access to files at runtime. Files are automatically gzip-compressed to minimize binary size.
+
+**Key capabilities:**
+- Embed entire folders or individual files into a binary via compile-time macros
+- Automatic gzip compression with transparent decompression on read
+- Support for dotfiles/hidden files via `include_dotfiles` option
+- File metadata (path, size, compressed status)
+- Safe file access with `.get()` and `.get?()` methods
+
+## Build & Test Commands
+
+### Install dependencies
+```bash
+shards install
+```
+
+### Run all tests
+```bash
+crystal spec
+```
+
+### Run a specific test file
+```bash
+crystal spec spec/baked_file_system_spec.cr
+```
+
+### Run tests matching a pattern
+```bash
+crystal spec spec/baked_file_system_spec.cr --pattern "load only files"
+```
+
+### Compile a check (without running tests)
+```bash
+crystal build src/baked_file_system.cr
+```
+
+### Build the loader executable (used internally)
+```bash
+crystal build src/loader.cr -o loader
+```
+
+## Architecture & Key Components
+
+### Compile-time & Runtime Flow
+
+1. **Compile-Time (User's Code)**
+   - User extends `BakedFileSystem` in their code and calls `bake_folder` macro
+   - This triggers the `BakedFileSystem.bake_folder()` macro in `src/baked_file_system.cr:178`
+   - The macro invokes the loader process via `run()` directive
+
+2. **Loader Process** (`src/loader/`)
+   - A separate Crystal program (`src/loader.cr`) receives folder path and options
+   - `BakedFileSystem::Loader.load()` (`src/loader/loader.cr`) scans the directory
+   - Uses `Dir.glob()` with optional `DotFiles` flag to find files
+   - For each file:
+     - Reads raw bytes
+     - Compresses with gzip (unless file ends in `.gz`)
+     - Encodes binary data as escaped string via `StringEncoder`
+     - Generates Crystal code that creates `BakedFile` objects
+   - Output is generated back to the calling compile process
+
+3. **Generated Code Integration**
+   - The generated Crystal code is macro-expanded into the user's binary
+   - Creates `BakedFile` instances added to `@@files` class variable
+   - User code can now call `.get()`, `.get?()`, `.files` on their class
+
+4. **Runtime Access**
+   - `BakedFile` extends `IO` for stream-like reading
+   - Automatically decompresses gzip on read unless `compressed?` is true
+   - Path normalization ensures consistent "/" prefixes
+
+### Main Classes & Modules
+
+- **`BakedFileSystem::BakedFile`** (`src/baked_file_system.cr:39`): Represents a virtual file, extends `IO`, handles decompression on read
+- **`BakedFileSystem::NoSuchFileError`** (`src/baked_file_system.cr:25`): Exception for missing files
+- **`BakedFileSystem::Loader`** (`src/loader/loader.cr`): Compile-time file scanning and encoding engine
+- **`StringEncoder`** (`src/loader/string_encoder.cr`): Encodes binary data as escaped Crystal string literals
+
+### Key Macros
+
+- **`bake_folder(path, dir, allow_empty, include_dotfiles)`** (`src/baked_file_system.cr:178`): Embeds all files from a directory
+  - Runs loader process to generate file embedding code
+  - Can raise if folder is empty (controlled by `allow_empty`)
+  - When `include_dotfiles: true`, includes files/folders starting with "."
+
+- **`bake_file(path, content)`** (`src/baked_file_system.cr:196`): Manually adds a single file with string content
+
+## Important Implementation Details
+
+### Compression & Storage (`src/baked_file_system.cr`)
+
+- All files are stored compressed in the binary (in `@slice`)
+- Files ending in `.gz` are stored as-is (no double compression)
+- `BakedFile#compressed?` indicates if data is pre-compressed
+- On read, non-compressed data passes through `Compress::Gzip::Reader` automatically
+- Memory usage is minimal: each file is a lazy IO wrapper around embedded byte slice
+
+### String Encoding (`src/loader/string_encoder.cr`)
+
+- Encodes binary data as escaped string literals for embedding in Crystal code
+- Critical for compile-time macro code generation
+- Handles proper escaping of special characters
+
+### File Discovery (`src/loader/loader.cr:26`)
+
+- Uses `Dir.glob()` with `Path.to_posix()` for cross-platform paths
+- Respects `File::MatchOptions::DotFiles` flag
+- Rejects directories, only includes files
+
+## Test Structure
+
+- **`spec/baked_file_system_spec.cr`**: Main test suite for file access, compression, and error handling
+- **`spec/loader_spec.cr`**: Tests for the loader executable
+- **`spec/string_encoder_spec.cr`**: Tests for string encoding logic
+- **`spec/storage/`**: Test files to be baked (images, text, etc.)
+- **`spec/empty_storage/`**: Empty directory for testing `allow_empty` validation
+
+## Common Development Tasks
+
+**Adding a new feature to `BakedFile`:**
+1. Modify `BakedFile` class in `src/baked_file_system.cr`
+2. Add test in `spec/baked_file_system_spec.cr`
+3. Run `crystal spec` to validate
+
+**Modifying the loader logic:**
+1. Update `src/loader/loader.cr` or `src/loader/string_encoder.cr`
+2. Add/update tests in `spec/loader_spec.cr` or `spec/string_encoder_spec.cr`
+3. Test with `crystal spec`
+
+**Cross-platform compatibility:**
+- Use `Path.to_posix()` for consistent path handling
+- Test on Windows, macOS, and Linux (CI runs on all three)
+- Be aware that `File::Info`, `Dir.glob`, and path separators differ by OS
+
+## CI/CD
+
+GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/`) runs tests on:
+- Ubuntu (latest and nightly Crystal)
+- macOS (latest Crystal)
+- Windows (latest Crystal)
+
+All tests must pass on all platforms before merge.
