Quickstart step 5 read as success while nothing had merged: a first-time user
on a no-remote project dispatches, reviews with o, presses accept → done,
then finds main byte-identical to before. Accepting is a pure voro-core state
transition and stays one — what was missing was the README saying so, and
naming what actually lands the work on each path.

Step 5 now carries a second paragraph, directly after the reject sentence,
stating that accepting records your verdict and completes the task but merges
nothing; that on a GitHub-reviewed project the work lands when its pull request
is merged (usually already done, with the merged diff in front of you); and
that on a project with no remote the work stays on the branch the agent
reported — recorded on the task, printed by voro show <id> as branch: — and
lands with one command in the project checkout, git merge <branch>.

Documentation only: README.md is the sole file changed, in the README's own
prose voice and at the altitude of the surrounding steps. No CLI cleanup offer
is documented (the TUI/locked-worktree gaps stay with task #451), and
voro --help is untouched. Verified with cargo test --workspace: 468 + 389 +
1 tests pass, 0 failures.

Quickstart step 5 read as though accepting landed the change: a first-time
user on a no-remote project accepts, checks the repo, and finds main
untouched. Accept is a pure state transition and stays that way; what was
missing was the sentence saying so, and naming what does land the work on
each path.
