Summary

After #163 (.env + typed env.py) and #164 (env_key pointer in provider config), the autoresearch README still documented the old "inline api_key in config.json" shape. Updated to match current reality.

Changes in tools/autoresearch/README.md

  • Config example shows env_key pointers (ollama_key, openrouter_key) instead of literal api_key strings
  • Preamble noting that secrets live in /.env and config.json is shape-only
  • Setup section tells the user to copy both config.example.json AND .env.example, then edit /.env for real keys
  • "Add a new model" section points at env.py + .env.example for provider-level onboarding

Scope check

Scanned every README.md in the repo (root, framework, algos, playground, website, autoresearch). Only the autoresearch one had stale config refs. Nothing else needs updating.

After #163 (.env + typed env.py) and #164 (env_key pointer in
provider config), the autoresearch README still documented the old
"inline api_key in config.json" shape. Updated:

* Config example now shows env_key pointers (ollama_key, openrouter_key)
  instead of api_key strings
* Added a short preamble explaining that secrets live in /.env and
  config.json is shape-only
* Setup section now tells the user to copy both config.example.json
  AND .env.example, and edit /.env for real keys
* "Add a new model" section points at env.py + .env.example for
  provider-level onboarding

Other README.md files in the repo were scanned; only this one had
stale config refs. Nothing else needs updating.
