docs(chapter-37): make the README a guide to the whole fork

↗ view on GitHub · Amal · 2026-05-24 · 213ee269

Chapter: 37 - Reader scaffolding.

Plain-English map:
Rewrite the README so it explains the fork's thesis, the open-source bets, the full change index, and the way to read this branch's commits as chapters.

Why it matters:
The branch changes a lot: repo shape, security, CI, Docker, workflows, tests, and docs. A less technical reader needs a map before they walk the history.

Principle:
Documentation should explain why the work exists, not only how to run it.

Precedent borrowed:
The fork report itself: repeated community patterns around security, self-hosting, provider choice, workflow portability, database integrity, and testing.
