Repo just went public. The previous README read like internal status tracking — "v0.4 complete", "repo is private", roadmap checkpoints for a single maintainer — which is the wrong frame for a first-time visitor. New structure: - Hook in the first 10 lines: what it is, why it's different (your real browser, not a sandboxed copy), what the commands look like. - "Why this exists" section names the actual pain: AI agents and browser-automation scripts launch their own browser, so they don't have your SSO session, don't know your extensions, and get Cloudflare- blocked on every SaaS dashboard. - "What it does" is now feature-forward, not implementation-forward. Each bullet leads with user capability; the mechanism is one line below. - "When to reach for ghax" / "When not to" — gives the visitor a decision, not a feature list to pattern-match against. Names the alternatives (Playwright for clean-room, recorder for code gen). - Quickstart includes the Chrome 113+ user-data-dir workaround inline since it trips every Chrome user on first attach. - Full command surface moved to ARCHITECTURE.md (was 80 lines of help dump in the README — not first-read material). - Dropped the private-repo disclaimer, the internal roadmap status, and the "paused release" note. Voice: direct, concrete, builder-to-builder per CLAUDE.md. No em dashes, no AI vocabulary, short paragraphs mixed with standalone punchy sentences. Names specifics: Autotask / Hudu / Azure Portal / Google Ads are real dashboards where this matters.

Repo is now public. Previous README was written as internal status tracking (v0.4 complete / repo is private / paused release); rewrote for a first-time visitor. Details in the commit message.
