refactor: pivot Flo-Fi to AI-generated anime character brand

[ghost]

Summary

Complete project pivot from personal finance dashboard to AI-generated anime character brand.

• Removed: Dashboard.tsx, types.ts, CSV data, papaparse/recharts deps, Monarch references
• Added: Project vision (IDEA.md), brand identity guidelines (BRAND_IDENTITY.md), character creation pipeline research, social media distribution strategy, and 4-phase roadmap
• Updated: page.tsx (clean placeholder), layout.tsx (new metadata), package.json (renamed, stripped finance deps)

New Board

33 cards created across 4 phases:

• Phase 1 (#5390-#5396): Toolchain setup — VRoid Studio, ComfyUI, Blender shaders, social accounts
• Phase 2 (#5397-#5404): First characters — 3 named characters, LoRA training, hero images, logo
• Phase 3 (#5405-#5414): Launch — simultaneous content drop across 5 platforms
• Phase 4 (#5415-#5422): Growth — posting cadence, content series, analytics, monetization

Test plan

• npm run build passes with stripped deps
• Placeholder page renders at localhost
• All docs are coherent and internally consistent

What's Good

• Clean dependency management: Appropriately removed unused dependencies (papaparse, recharts, @types/papaparse) from package.json
• Simplified codebase: Removed complex financial dashboard logic that's no longer needed, reducing maintenance burden
• Comprehensive documentation: Added extensive research docs covering technical pipeline, brand strategy, and platform policies
• Consistent branding: Updated all metadata and naming from "Monarch Dashboard" to "Flo-Fi"
• Simple new implementation: The replacement page is minimal and straightforward - just a "coming soon" landing

Scope Check

✅ Matches description: This appears to be exactly what was intended - a complete pivot from finance dashboard (#5380, #5381, #5382, #5383, #5384) to anime character brand. The scope is appropriate for the referenced task numbers.

The changes systematically remove all finance-related functionality and replace it with a simple landing page while adding comprehensive documentation for the new direction. No scope creep or unrequested features detected.
