The old README was a specification written as one dense document: sentences past 30 words, lists chained with commas, exceptions ahead of the rules, and release history in the user text. This rewrite starts from what the program is, what it is for and how to use it, then gives a reference for the settings, each subcommand, the database, the output formats, the progress display and the exit codes, and ends with development and testing. Every statement was checked against the code on next and against what the built binary prints on a small tree. The section names the code comments cite are kept. TODO.md records the step. Model: fable-5-1
