magdev 8aaf30de99 Update CLAUDE.md with v1.1.1 and v1.1.2 session history
Document the critical bug fix journey for the WC_Settings_Page error:

v1.1.1 session (failed attempt):
- Attempted to fix with hook timing change
- Changed to woocommerce_init hook
- Bug persisted - error logs showed it still failed
- Lesson: Always verify fixes with error logs

v1.1.2 session (successful fix):
- Discovered root cause: Settings.php loaded too early
- require_once happened during Plugin::includes()
- PHP tried to parse 'extends WC_Settings_Page' before class existed
- Solution: Delayed require_once to add_settings_page() callback
- This callback runs when WC has loaded all settings classes

Key learnings documented:
1. Class loading order matters more than hook timing
2. Always verify fixes don't just assume they work
3. Lazy loading pattern for extending third-party classes
4. Read error logs thoroughly - backtrace reveals the sequence
5. Don't assume hook order means all classes are loaded
6. Test immediately after each release

Also documents the debugging approach that worked and the
5-version journey to finally fix this persistent issue.
