Give the README a more personal, practical voice

[Wonderforge-Lab]

Scope

README.md only, following the draft and editorial preferences agreed with the human maintainer. Session handle: branch visibility for labnote.

Voice and presentation

• Preserve the operator's first-person summary/handoff introduction and exact "with you at the helm" sentence.
• Use the first-person labelled-drawers image, natural contractions and occasional semicolons.
• Remove repeated benefits sections, competing metaphors and stock promotional conclusions.
• Explain what a reader can actually do: commission research, seek a critique, retain decisions and resume work.
• Explain "your own copy" concretely.
• Keep the raven, its display size and badges; put the motto beneath the image and at the bottom.
• No em dashes or Chinese text. Internal documentation links remain relative.

Safeguards retained

Human approval, protected/private project storage, no public-template deposits, one active writer across sessions/tools/copies, handles as identifiers rather than locks, full-deposit destination verification, failure preservation and human-controlled recovery, no automatic queue, and no required LabNote MCP server or separate engine.

The distinction between structural checks and content correctness remains explicit. No policy, schema, script, workflow or other repository has been edited.

Verification

All local workflow checks pass, including the newly merged minimal-deposit regression. Markdown links and git diff --check pass. The setup prompt is unchanged; the motto appears twice.

Human review required; do not merge automatically.
