Abstract
We show that, in flat CDM, low-redshift structure probes -- cluster abundances, 32-point analyses, and full-shape clustering -- are mutually consistent, jointly delivering precise constraints on and that agree with geometrical datasets (CMB+BAO+SN). In CDM, adding clusters to the geometry dataset reduces the evidence for evolving dark energy while relaxing the tension, suggesting a CDM evolution of the late-time Universe and a sound horizon that differs from its standard value.
