Repository reading order

Understand the workflow it replaces before deciding whether to stay in the README, open a topic path, or move toward collaboration.

01 / Workflow

PDF hoarding and one-pass reading that never turns into reusable understanding.

Start by naming the old workflow this repo is replacing.

02 / README

Then use the README and site interpretation to confirm the project boundary and delivery surface.

03 / Proof graph

Return to thesis and the wider proof system

Finally, place the repository back into a bigger market question and working conversation.
