Assertion

CLAUDE.md projects content from docs/north-star/, MILESTONES.md, and the spec. It does not introduce new content.

Why

When CLAUDE.md becomes the source of truth for anything, the real sources drift out of sync underneath it.

Mechanism

Content moves to its proper home; CLAUDE.md references it. The bootstrap self-audit and drift-watcher recheck enforce this.
