UX polish pass on the README, treating it as the project's primary landing page. No content was removed from the page body; all changes improve scannability and reduce redundancy.

Changes

1. Trim top nav from 18 links to 8. Eighteen anchor links across two rows defeated the nav's purpose (Hick's Law). Cut to the distinct user intents — Quickstart, What It Does, SDKs, Protocol, Mode B, Compare, Demos, Get Involved — on a single row. The dropped sections (Integrations, Problem, Compatibility, Delegation, Ecosystem, Prior Art, Foundation, Status, License, Origin) still exist in the body, reachable by scroll.

2. De-duplicate the TypeScript quickstart. The SDK Quickstarts TS block was ~90% identical to the 60-second snippet, creating déjà vu for a scrolling reader. It now teaches something new on the same grant: a hard constraints value and a behavioral rule (enforcement: "hard"), which is APOA's actual differentiator. Grounded in the real facade API (createGrant accepts constraints/rules; Rule is { id, description, enforcement }).

3. Make the comparison table scan as one visual system. The Auditable column mixed Partial (text) with ✅/❌ (icons), stopping the eye. Normalized to 🟡, added a legend (✅ full · 🟡 partial · ❌ none) and a one-line takeaway caption. The caption also helps accessibility, since the table's meaning no longer rests solely on emoji that screen readers announce inconsistently.

Notes

Docs-only change, no build step required. The new TS snippet mirrors the runnable example in examples/quickstart-typescript.

  of repeating the 60-second snippet
- Normalize comparison table "Partial" to a consistent glyph + add legend
