Summary

  • README trimmed to its operational core (786 → 384 lines): features, prereqs, getting-started, CLEARS, configuration, testing, deployment, layout, limitations. Lead now points readers at docs/design.md for the essay and docs/runbook.md for day-2 ops.
  • New docs/design.md (355 lines) holds the essay material: why this exists, the four architecture diagrams, the Spec-Kit + Claude Code three-pillars story, the chicken-egg deploy-ordering walkthrough, and what you can learn from this repo.
  • Minor copy edits in specs/001-doc-intel-10k/{quickstart,research,plan}.md — drop vague hedges: "in under 30 minutes" → matches the actual 15–25 min estimate; "improving relevance materially" → concrete claims about top-5 ordering.
  • Social preview alignment in docs/_social_preview.py + regenerated PNG: architecture line now ends "eval-gated cited agent" (was "cited agent on Mosaic AI", which redundantly repeated the DATABRICKS eyebrow). Surfaces the CLEARS gate as the agent's distinguishing trait.

Why split?

The pre-split README was doing two incompatible jobs: an essay (motivation, architecture, build workflow) and an operational guide (prereqs, getting started, configuration, deployment). A reader in "I want to deploy this" mode had to scroll past 145 lines of architecture diagrams; a reader in "teach me the pattern" mode hit databricks auth login mid-narrative. The TOC papered over the genre clash without fixing the flow.

Test plan

  • Visually scan the new README — operational sections only, no essay interruptions
  • Open docs/design.md from the README header pointer; confirm internal anchors resolve and cross-links to runbook.md work
  • Confirm docs/social-preview.png renders with the updated architecture line (1280×640)
  • No code changes — no test runs needed

- README cut to its operational core (786 -> 384 lines): features,
  prereqs, getting-started, CLEARS, configuration, testing, deployment,
  layout, limitations. Lead now points to docs/design.md and runbook.md.
- New docs/design.md holds the essay material: why this exists, the
  four architecture diagrams, the Spec-Kit + Claude Code three-pillars
  story, the chicken-egg deploy-ordering walkthrough, and "what you can
  learn from this repo."
- Minor copy edits in specs/001-doc-intel-10k/{quickstart,research,plan}
  to drop vague hedges ("under 30 minutes" -> matches actual 15-25 min
  estimate; "improving relevance materially" -> concrete claims).
- docs/_social_preview.py + regenerated docs/social-preview.png: arch
  line now ends "eval-gated cited agent" (was "cited agent on Mosaic AI",
  which redundantly repeated the DATABRICKS eyebrow). Surfaces the CLEARS
  gate as the agent's distinguishing trait.
