What

Adds 17 lines to CLAUDE.md. No existing wording changes.

• Commands: bin/idstack-consensus status (also: configure, query, verify, sync).
• Releasing: the four-part version must agree across VERSION, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, CHANGELOG.md, README.md and docs/index.html; what a v* tag push does in release.yml. The extension version and the manifest schema version (1.4) are bumped separately.
• Chrome extension: what each folder holds; no package.json, no build step, native ES modules.
• Evidence standards: a note that test/test-evidence-labels.mjs parses the tier table, so the table and TIER_METADATA must change together.
• Evidence verification (Consensus API): how the review skills verify staged findings, the order the API key is looked up in, and where responses are cached (IDSTACK_CONSENSUS_CACHE_DIR).

Why

An audit of CLAUDE.md found every count, path and flag still current. The gaps were the release gate (spread across three checkers and a workflow), the Consensus CLI that three skills and the preamble call, the extension layout, and an unmarked test dependency on the tier table.

For reviewers

• The hard-coded test counts are unchanged. They match a live run, and smoke-test's comment relies on CLAUDE.md listing them.
• Checks run locally: check-doc-accuracy.py exits 0, smoke-test 405/405, test-extension.sh passes, mutation-test 142 guarded / 0 not guarded.
