Problem

The README had drifted from the app, and much of it was long-form prose.

• Space (Quick Look) was removed in Native text selection & copy by default (+ Reading View, opt-in mouse) #16 but still documented.
• Missing keys: n/b (match navigation), z (Reading View), r/p/c/f pane focus, X clear filters, Ctrl+Y copy query as command, Ctrl+Enter batch toggle, custom keybindings.
• Settings paths named menus that no longer exist (Indexing, Cache size, Cache maintenance, Reindex). The app says Indexing & PDF Texture, PDF Texture Cache, Update index.
• After installing the texturising engine it said to reindex, which skips unchanged PDFs; Texturise flat PDFs is the step.
• Wrong facts: "60 file types" (40), --kind / kind: listed five types and no categories, result_limit = 200 (default 50), pipx "brings Python", "repeat --source" (the CLI takes one per command), "no network" (semantic search downloads its model), and an intent: DSL credited in the acknowledgements does not exist.
• : was described as opening Settings from anywhere; in the query bar it types a colon.

Changes

• Description: leads with 100% local and private, BM25 ranking, in-file navigation, Open with…, lazygit-style TUI; Markdown first.
• Screenshot at assets/fnd_screenshot_sml.jpg, by absolute URL so it renders on PyPI too (the README is the fndr long description). It shows once this is on main.
• Quick start is a getting-started guide: first collection from the TUI (a fresh install opens into Add collection), from the CLI, everyday use, and Obsidian (App: Obsidian, vault name, Advanced URI).
• Command table leads with fnd <query> -c <collection>, the usual way in.
• Platform status stated once instead of four times; outdated "Upgrading an existing index" note removed; long prose turned into bullets. App terminology kept throughout so README sections match what the TUI shows.
• Tests: three tests matched README table rows by exact spacing, which a markdown formatter's column padding broke; they now match by pattern.

Also: Pillow 13.0.0

• pip-audit flags CVE-2026-112895 and seven others in Pillow 12.3.0, all fixed in 13.0.0; this failed the security check here and will fail main's scheduled run.
• Pillow arrives only via python-pptx (Pillow>=3.3.2); fnd never imports PIL. Lock-only change.
• Audit: the new lock reports no known vulnerabilities; the old lock reports the CVEs.

Verification

• Every key, menu path, CLI flag and config key checked against the code; menu paths and fnd binary tree -c notes driven in the real TUI in tmux on a fresh HOME.
• Negative control: the old literal | Filter | What it does | no longer occurs in the formatted README.
• make batch-close with Pillow 13.0.0: 6353 passed, ruff and pyright clean, 12 harness scenarios passed (1 skipped, needs real corpus).

Depends on

• Quick start step 1 assumes a fresh install opens into Add collection. Today fnd exits with "No collections yet"; that fix is in progress separately.
