Retire the NextSteps handoff notes and pin the model tiers

The three NextSteps*.md files were per-session handoff notes that had gone
stale; the plan they described is superseded. CLAUDE.md gains a MODEL TIERS
section recording who is allowed to run as what: Opus coordinates, Sonnet
implements, Haiku verifies, and no subagent runs on Opus.

### MODEL TIERS (who is allowed to be what)
Binding for all work in this repo, not just verification.
| Role | Model | Effort | Allowed to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coordinator | **Opus** | **medium** | Dispatch tasks, review returned diffs, make product calls, maintain the plan. **Writes no implementation code.** |
| Implementer | **Sonnet** | — | Feature and bugfix work. The only tier allowed to write non-trivial code. |
| Verifier / mechanical | **Haiku** | — | Run the full suites and paste raw output; small mechanical edits (renames, i18n string moves, test-fixture churn). |
* **No subagent may run on Opus.** Not for "a hard task", not for review, not for browser
verification. If a task looks too hard for Sonnet, it is too big — split it, do not escalate it.
* The coordinator never runs the verification suites itself (see the cost rule above).
* Browser verification is delegated too — Sonnet drives Chrome, never the coordinator.
