feat: add configurable removedCells option and comprehensive documentation

- Add removedCells to GameOptions for custom puzzle sizes
- removedCells overrides difficulty default when provided
- Maintain backward compatibility with all defaults
- Complete IMPLEMENTATION.md with Iteration 16 and summary
- Completely rewrite README.md with comprehensive documentation:
  - Complete API reference (GameOptions, GameManager, CursorManager, ScoreManager)
  - Game states and state machine flow
  - Full VIM controls reference (movement, editing, hints, game control)
  - Cell state rules and visual feedback
  - Detailed scoring formula with examples
  - Game-over conditions (time and hint limits)
  - Hint system priority and penalties
  - Configuration examples for different play styles
  - Platform hook integration guide
- Mark implementation as COMPLETE and PRODUCTION READY

-## Iteration 16: [Pending]
+## Iteration 16: Configurable Game Options
 
-*To be filled as implementation progresses...*
+**Date**: 2025-01-22
+
+### Goals
+- Make game configuration more flexible
+- Allow custom removedCells independent of difficulty
+- Maintain backward compatibility with defaults
+
+### Tasks Completed
+
+#### 1. Added removedCells to GameOptions
+**File: `src/types.ts`**
+
+**Extended GameOptions:**
+```typescript
+export type GameOptions = {
+  difficulty?: Difficulty;      // 'easy' | 'medium' | 'hard'
+  timeLimit?: number;            // In seconds, default 600
+  removedCells?: number;         // Override difficulty default
+};
+```
+
+#### 2. Updated Board Generation
+**Files: `SudokuGenerator.ts`, `useBoard.ts`**
+
+**Generator signature updated:**
+```typescript
+generate(difficulty: Difficulty, customRemovedCells?: number): void
+```
+
+**Logic:**
+```typescript
+const removeCount = customRemovedCells ?? CELLS_TO_REMOVE[difficulty];
+```
+
+**Priority:** Custom removedCells takes precedence over difficulty default
+
+#### 3. Configuration Flexibility
+
+**Option 1: Full defaults**
+```typescript
+useGame({})
+// difficulty: 'easy', removedCells: 25, timeLimit: 600
+```
+
+**Option 2: Just difficulty**
+```typescript
+useGame({ difficulty: 'hard' })
+// difficulty: 'hard', removedCells: 50, timeLimit: 600
+```
+
+**Option 3: Just removedCells**
+```typescript
+useGame({ removedCells: 30 })
+// difficulty: 'easy', removedCells: 30 (custom), timeLimit: 600
+```
+
+**Option 4: Both (removedCells overrides)**
+```typescript
+useGame({ difficulty: 'hard', removedCells: 35 })
+// difficulty: 'hard', removedCells: 35 (custom), timeLimit: 600
+// Note: Difficulty still used for score multipliers and hint penalties
+```
+
+**Option 5: All custom**
+```typescript
+useGame({ difficulty: 'medium', removedCells: 45, timeLimit: 480 })
+// All custom values
+```
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Agnostic Design:**
+- `removedCells` completely independent of difficulty level
+- Difficulty still used for:
+  - Score multipliers (1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x)
+  - Hint penalties (25, 50, 100 points)
+- Allows creative configurations (e.g., easy difficulty scoring with hard puzzle size)
+
+**Default Values:**
+```typescript
+difficulty = 'easy'
+timeLimit = 600  // 10 minutes
+removedCells = CELLS_TO_REMOVE[difficulty]  // 25, 40, or 50
+```
+
+**Backward Compatibility:**
+- All existing code works without changes
+- Options object can be empty
+- Each option independent and optional
+
+### Use Cases
+
+**Testing:**
+```typescript
+useGame({ removedCells: 5, timeLimit: 60 })
+// Quick 5-cell puzzle with 1-minute limit
+```
+
+**Custom Challenges:**
+```typescript
+useGame({ difficulty: 'easy', removedCells: 60, timeLimit: 1200 })
+// Large puzzle with easy scoring, generous time
+```
+
+**Tournament Mode:**
+```typescript
+useGame({ difficulty: 'hard', removedCells: 50, timeLimit: 300 })
+// Standard hard puzzle with strict 5-minute limit
+```
+
+### Build Status
+- ✅ TypeScript compiles cleanly
+- ✅ All options working correctly
+- ✅ Defaults maintained
+- ✅ Full backward compatibility
+
+### Implementation Complete
+
+All core features implemented:
+- ✅ Board generation and rendering
+- ✅ Complete vim motion system
+- ✅ Edit mode (i/r/c)
+- ✅ Erase functionality (x/d/Delete/Backspace)
+- ✅ Cursor rendering with visual feedback
+- ✅ Game status state machine
+- ✅ Scoring system (time + keystrokes)
+- ✅ Hint system with penalties
+- ✅ Game-over conditions (time/hints)
+- ✅ Win condition detection
