Answer

How do I check that these claims are true instead of taking them on trust?

Every claim in site/claims.json names the evidence that holds it — a test file, a document, or a named repository fact — and the limitation that travels with it, so each sentence resolves to something you can check. Run the suite — it runs on every push — and read docs/QUALITY_GATES.md for the adversarial-review categories, because the count itself measures effort rather than correctness (C-20). Then run falsify: six rules are removed on purpose in one command and the suite catches every one in about two seconds, naming the test that caught it, and anything that survives is reported as a gap rather than omitted (C-23). Its scope is narrow on purpose — it falsifies six named rules, not the claims in this ledger, it proves only that a test holds each rule, and a rule that is wrong but faithfully defended survives every mutation.
