Markdown summary	contextdb eval ranking baseline manifest verify --markdown	Prints a compact release-review recap for manifest verification
Summary artifact	--markdown-out PATH	Saves the verification recap beside JSON reports in CI
Artifact table	Version, kind, retention status, result, and bytes	Makes retained, verified, and expected-missing artifacts quick to scan

Operator Flow

contextdb eval ranking baseline manifest verify \
  --manifest ranking-baseline-manifest.json \
  --report \
  --markdown-out ranking-baseline-manifest-verification.md

The Markdown recap includes pass/fail status, manifest metadata, artifact totals, validation errors, and a compact artifact summary table.

Compatibility

This release is intentionally non-breaking. Existing JSON verification reports and exit behavior are unchanged unless --markdown or --markdown-out is supplied.

Verification

Release verification included:

go test -count=1 ./cmd/contextdb
go test -count=1 ./...
npm run docs:build
git diff --check
