Point 8 from Sovereignty Manifest

What

Update CLAUDE.md to enforce micro-commit discipline. No more 300+ line mega-PRs.

New Rules

  1. Each PR should focus on ONE concern: data layer, logic, OR visuals
  2. Target: <150 lines changed per PR
  3. Commit by function: feat: data-provider, style: neon-update, refactor: extract ticker
  4. If a change requires >200 lines, it should be split into sequential PRs
  5. The modularization epic (#409) is the exception — each PHASE is one PR, but phases should be as atomic as possible

Acceptance Criteria

  • CLAUDE.md updated with PR size limits
  • New "Commit Discipline" section in CLAUDE.md

Refs #409, hermes-agent #115

Added a dedicated ## Commit Discipline section to CLAUDE.md with explicit PR size limits (<150 lines target, >200 lines must split), one-concern-per-PR rule, commit-by-function example table, multi-concern decomposition rules, and the modularization epic exception. 34 lines added, docs-only change, node --check app.js passes.
