Pull request overview

This PR consolidates contributor/agent guidance into a single canonical docs structure, adds onboarding-friendly architecture and request-lifecycle documentation, and trims top-level entrypoints to point at the new docs.

Changes:

  • Update root README to link to canonical contributor docs and add a minimal “docker run” trial flow.
  • Expand docs/README.md into the canonical contributor guide (setup, contract loop, testing layers, constraints).
  • Add new onboarding docs for architecture/request lifecycle and UI/design rules; slim down agent instruction entrypoints to redirect to canonical docs.
