Subject: [PATCH] perf: skip htmlmin during watch rebuilds, disable
 minifyCSS/minifyJS

htmlmin transform was consuming 84% of build time (321s out of 384s).
Two changes:
- Only run htmlmin during initial build (ELEVENTY_RUN_MODE === "build"),
  skip during watch-mode rebuilds for faster content updates
- Set minifyCSS and minifyJS to false to avoid expensive CSS/JS parsing

Also updates CLAUDE.md paths for indiekit-dev workspace move.
