What changed
Why
The prior documentation mixed research vision with the current Python implementation. Generic compiler/runtime terminology, plus unsupported claims such as type checking, content-addressed strategy IR, LLM escalation, and persistent core audit storage, made the project appear much broader than the code.
This PR makes Nano's real value clear: replayable threshold-rule evaluation with an explicit intent/gate boundary.
Impact
New users get a runnable quickstart and accurate boundaries. Contributors get an authoritative documentation hierarchy and a packaged strategy corpus check in CI. Research directions remain available without being mistaken for current API guarantees.
Validation
