## Summary

- reframe Chopin around collaboratively authored, repository-connected documents; plans are one workflow alongside specifications, RFCs, proposals, and decision records - rewrite `README.md` as a user-facing introduction with an accurate local quickstart, current Plan/Planner naming, and prototype limitations - add dedicated self-hosting and experimental implementation-lifecycle guides - update architecture, authentication, channels, storage, hosted-agent, MCP, preview, and maintainer documentation against current behavior - document known prototype enforcement and lifecycle gaps instead of presenting intended invariants as implemented guarantees - refresh stale policy and gh-aw links, connect skill starter prompts, and remove an obsolete task report

No runtime code, UI labels, protocol names, or deployment configuration changes are included.

## Verification

- `bun run ci` - `bun test skills/creating-chopin-plans/contract.test.ts skills/implementing-chopin-plans/contract.test.ts` - exact-case relative-link validation across all 23 Markdown files - `git diff --check`
