replace XTDB references with Datomic

- Update project overview in README.md and CLAUDE.md to reference Datomic
- Replace documentation links from XTDB to Datomic
- Update database layer descriptions from XTDB to Datomic
- Simplify configuration documentation (remove XTDB-specific connection details)
- Update data model to use Datomic entity/attribute naming conventions
- Update notes section to reference Datalog instead of XTQL
- Remove XTDB dependencies and test fixtures from test suite
- Simplify test utilities to work without XTDB test nodes

 ## Project Overview
 
-A REST API backend for managing code snippets, written in Clojure using XTDB for data storage. The API provides endpoints for creating, reading, editing, and deleting snippets, with support for tagging and slug-based lookup.
