Simplify README and extract AI usage to separate document

[hiibolt]

Summary

This PR significantly streamlines the project documentation by condensing the verbose README into a concise, practical guide while extracting detailed AI usage information into a dedicated document.

Changes

• README.md: Reduced from 280 lines to 50 lines

  • Removed extensive marketing language and technical deep-dives
  • Kept essential information: project description, architecture overview, quick start instructions, and local development setup
  • Simplified technology justifications and metrics tables
  • Removed redundant sections on challenges solved and correctness guarantees
  • Moved AI usage disclosure to separate file

• AI_USAGE.md (new file): Created dedicated document

  • Extracted comprehensive AI usage details from README
  • Maintains full transparency on which tasks used Claude and which didn't
  • Provides context on supervision and verification practices

Rationale

The original README was overly verbose for a technical project, mixing marketing narrative with implementation details. This change prioritizes:

• Clarity: New users can quickly understand what the project does and how to run it
• Maintainability: Shorter README is easier to keep up-to-date
• Transparency: AI usage is still fully documented but in a dedicated, discoverable location
• Professionalism: Separates project documentation from meta-commentary

The condensed README maintains all critical information while improving readability and reducing cognitive load.
