What this changes

Rewrites README.md in plain language: no em-dashes, no "not X, but Y" constructions, less pitch. Adds an Updating plugins block (plugin outdated, plugin update, plugin auto-update) under Installing and updating. Adds a Quick start section with npx, pnpm dlx and bunx side by side, plus common variations: non-interactive --yes, nuxt4-minimal without Docker, --pm, --dry-run, --disable, @next and a global install.

Why

The README read like marketing copy, and pnpm dlx and bunx only appeared in passing in a later section.

Type of change

  • Documentation

AI assistance

  • Claude Code

Agent, service and model, if you know it: Claude Code, Opus 5.5

How much of this is agent-written?

  • Whole change, reviewed by me before opening
  • Substantial parts, with my own edits on top

Feature versions

  • Not applicable

Testing

README only. Every flag in Quick start is documented in docs/commands.md. Every fact from the old README is kept except two removed sentences: the health check's "not a fixed 200" line and the ".env has no leftover placeholders" line.

Checklist

  • Scoped to one concern
  • No internal tracker numbers, post-mortem narrative, or internal infrastructure details in the diff
  • No secrets, tokens or real credentials

Anything else

Section renames: "What you can do with it" is now "Features", "When something goes wrong" is now "Troubleshooting", "Built for an AI to pick up on day one" is now "Ready for AI coding agents", "Shaped for deployment, not just a demo" is now "Deployment", and "Parts and components" is now "Packages". Nothing in docs/ links to those anchors.

Drops the em-dashes and the "not X, but Y" phrasing, and tones down the
pitch-style lines. The new Quick start shows npx, pnpm dlx and bunx side by
side, plus common variations: non-interactive, --pm, --dry-run, --disable,
the next dist-tag and a global install. Every flag shown is documented in
docs/commands.md.

The opening line no longer promises auth and a database, which
nuxt4-minimal does not have.
