docs: tighten README — drop defensive framing, lead with concrete claims#182
Merged
Conversation
Feedback on the prior rewrite: still too defensive, too long, hedged on identity. This pass: - Opens with three concrete behavior claims (change a prompt, add an agent, touch a training pipeline) instead of an abstract pitch - Cuts the "doesn't replace Ruff / ESLint" hedge — confident products don't pre-disclaim what they aren't - Cuts the "What Terrain doesn't do" section entirely (six anti-claims that say nothing positive) - Trims the detector list from 11 to 5 — only the boundary-gap moat detectors, not the AI hygiene patterns that overlap with Semgrep / secret scanners (those live in the catalog doc, where they belong) - Cuts Snapshots, Policy, "What's stable in 0.2 vs planned", and the Architecture section — all link out to docs - Cuts Development section (build / test commands belong in CONTRIBUTING) Length: 169 → 85 lines.
