The README had grown to 1,010 lines of user docs and design notes in one file,
and had gone stale: it still showed the old numbered menu, set up only three
providers, and listed preflight checks and a file layout that predate the last
three releases. It now carries install, first run, the full command
reference, the providers at a glance, troubleshooting and a docs index.
docs/:
- providers.md presets, defaults, the model cache, context windows, each
provider (OpenRouter's cost guard and guardrail check are
written up for the first time), adding a provider
- live-sessions.md what a switch does to running sessions, and repair
- design.md why settings.json, why keys stay out of it (and the vault
per platform), the preflight checks as they are now
- bar-widget.md the widget as it is now: providers from health.json, every
server provider's settings, the restart after an upgrade
- architecture.md the pieces, every file on disk and who writes it, the
contracts between them, where to change what
- development.md running the tests, the conventions the code follows,
working on the widget, releasing
CONTRIBUTING.md points at it.
Also:
- The per-project session listing used awk, which the CLI avoids because it
is missing from minimal images; it uses the script's own TSV helpers now,
and tests/static.sh fails on any awk in the CLI.
- tests/static.sh checks every relative Markdown link and #anchor.
- A unit test pins the managed env keys between cm-json.py and
claude-mode.ps1, which only a comment kept in step before.
- test_sessions covers the per-project listing, which nothing ran.

Thanks for looking. Everything you need is in docs/development.md:
how to run the tests (scripts/test.sh), the conventions the code follows, how to
add a provider, and how a release is cut. docs/architecture.md
maps the pieces.
In short:
- Run
scripts/test.shbefore you send anything; add a test for what you change, and check that it fails without your change. - Never test by switching your own machine — the tests run in a sandbox for a reason.
- A new provider is usually a
providers.jsonentry and a preset, not code. - Keep the POSIX port bash 3.2 compatible and the PowerShell ASCII-only and 5.1 compatible.
