Subject: [PATCH] Use direct 'claude' command instead of npx

- Changed from 'npx @anthropic-ai/claude-code' to 'claude'
- This assumes Claude Code is installed globally with npm install -g
- Updated ralph_loop.sh, ralph_import.sh, and README.md
- Much cleaner and faster execution without npx overhead
