What

Post-0.19 burnish. The README was 533 lines — depth imposed, not offered. It drops to 257 by moving detail, not cutting it:

Moved out To
Install variants, runtime table, prerequisites, bun -- caveat, full options docs/install.md
Capture scope / tunnel model, proxy + subprocess-trust internals, output format docs/capture-modes.md
The full web UI tour docs/web-ui.md
Saved-trace commands + housekeeping guarantees docs/traces.md
codex/grok/kimi wire notes + compat providers docs/clients.md

GitHub Pages already builds from main:/docs, so the split lands on the site with zero plumbing.

README keeps the decision path: hook → what you get → comparison → 60-second start → everyday commands → common options → diagram → security. Gains a nav line, an agent pointer (llms.txt), and a curated docs table.

Also:

  • zh README mirrors the new structure and loses its stale "saves an HTML snapshot at exit" claim (dead since 0.13)
  • llms.txt maps the new doc pages; notes each client's wire session-id location (incl. kimi prompt_cache_key)
  • docs/index.html catches up with kimi: title, meta, hero (en/zh), feature card, a 0.19 roadmap row
  • Repo description + topics updated for kimi (done via API, not in this diff)

No code changes; bun test 477 pass.

README drops 533 -> 257 lines by moving depth out, not by cutting it:
install/runtime/options -> docs/install.md, capture scope + proxy
internals -> docs/capture-modes.md, the UI tour -> docs/web-ui.md,
saved-trace commands + housekeeping guarantees -> docs/traces.md,
codex/grok/kimi + compat providers -> docs/clients.md. GitHub Pages
already builds from main:/docs, so the split lands on the site for
free. README gains a nav line, an agent pointer, and a docs table;
keeps hook -> proof -> 60-second start -> cheat sheet.

zh README mirrors the same structure (and loses its stale
"HTML snapshot at exit" claim, dead since 0.13). llms.txt maps the
new doc pages and names each client's wire session-id location.
docs/index.html catches up with kimi (title, meta, hero, feature
card, 0.19 roadmap row).
