docs: add CLAUDE.md with S88 classification and superproject rule reference

References the flow-layout rule set in the EVOLV superproject
(.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md) so Claude Code sessions working
in this repo know the S88 level, colour, and placement lane for this node.

+## Flow layout rules
+
+When wiring this node into a multi-node demo or production flow, follow the
+placement rule set in the **EVOLV superproject**:
+
+> `.claude/rules/node-red-flow-layout.md` (in the EVOLV repo root)
+
+Key points for this node:
+- Place on lane **L4** (x-position per the lane table in the rule).
+- Stack same-level siblings vertically.
+- Parent/children sit on adjacent lanes (children one lane left, parent one lane right).
+- Wrap in a Node-RED group box coloured `#50a8d9` (Unit).
