evident-charts 0.2.2

evident-charts 0.2.2 adds a portable plugin package and clarifies which chart checks run when tools are unavailable.

• New EC icons and plugin listing text.
• User instructions take precedence; skipped checks and self-review are reported.
• Reproducible release ZIP with the skill resources and compatibility manifests.
• Updated installation guidance and an acceptance checklist.

Validation: 209 tests passed. The packaged skill passed a Claude Code chart-creation check, including the chart checker and image review.

Use evident-charts-0.2.2.zip for plugin submission or local testing. Existing installation commands are in the README.
