Closes #75.

Adds the five README sections policy requires:

  • Description first line now names the project, purpose, category (Go library
    and CLI), WTFPL license, and author (@sneak).
  • Getting Started (new): a copy-pasteable build-from-source block and
    gen/check/fetch usage. Every command was run against a built binary — gen
    writes .index.mf, check exits nonzero on a corrupted file, and fetch
    downloads and verifies a tree served over local HTTP.
  • Rationale (new): Problem Statement and Proposed Solution are consolidated
    under it; the prose is kept, not duplicated.
  • Design (new): documents the package layout — mfer/ library (with the
    committed protobuf code), internal/cli commands, internal/log and
    internal/bork support, cmd/mfer entrypoint.
  • Author: Authors renamed with the canonical [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin)
    link.

The # TODO: Remaining Work for 1.0 section was left untouched (rewritten
separately in #76).

Verification: docker build with cache defeated on the lint, markdown, and build
stages; the markdown fmt-check (pinned prettier) and make lint pass, and
make test passes on the host (internal/cli 8.0s).

Disclosures:

  • The cited docker build is red: make test hit the 10s go-test timeout in
    internal/cli (TestCheckDetectsManifestCorruption, a 20k-file test) under
    host load — the tracked "raise make test timeout to 30s" item, not caused by
    this markdown-only change; it reproduces on next.
  • Getting Started uses go build, not a make target: make bin/mfer invokes
    protoc, which script/bootstrap does not install.

Model: opus-4-8

Rebasing onto the current next (6de3f1d, after #72 merged) conflicts in TODO.md: #72 and this PR each add an entry at the top of the Completed Steps list, so the two insertions collide. Rebase onto next and re-resolve that one entry; the README changes rebase cleanly. Re-review after.

Policy names five README sections that were missing or misnamed.

The Description first line now names the project, purpose, category,
WTFPL license, and author. A new Getting Started section gives a
copy-pasteable build-from-source block and gen/check/fetch usage; every
command was run against a built binary. Problem Statement and Proposed
Solution are consolidated under a new Rationale heading, keeping the
prose rather than duplicating it. A new Design section documents the
package layout: mfer/ library, internal/cli commands, internal/log and
internal/bork support, cmd/mfer entrypoint, and the committed protobuf
code. Authors is renamed Author with the canonical link.

Getting Started uses go build because the make build target invokes
protoc, which script/bootstrap does not install.

Rebased onto next; the TODO.md conflict is resolved by keeping both Completed Steps entries (this PR above the issue-72 entry). New head d90bef8.

Review passed.

Judgement calls accepted:

  • The gen quickstart line says the manifest describes "every file" under the directory; gen excludes dotfiles by default (standard behaviour, switched on with --include-dotfiles).
  • gen defaults to writing .index.mf while fetch looks for index.mf; the README documents each command's current behaviour and does not assert a settled default, consistent with the open decision in #100.
