What

Adds one sentence to the Connect section of README.md recording that Nuthatch is reachable only from inside the DeepTrace server.

Why

The section already said a normal user does not need "Nuthatch access", which reads as an optional extra you could obtain rather than a boundary you cannot cross. Nuthatch is a private, unauthenticated service on the server's loopback interface with no public route — there is nothing for a client to connect to.

Found the practical way: while testing the live server, a Nuthatch source reported unavailable, and diagnosis started by grepping the local environment for NUTHATCH_BASE_URL — a check structurally incapable of saying anything, since the variable is server-side. The name is inviting enough that the boundary is worth stating in the README rather than only in the skill.

Scope change

This PR originally edited skills/deeptrace-pool-research/SKILL.md. #61 landed the same guidance there first ("Nuthatch is only accessible via the DeepTrace MCP server"), so that edit was redundant and conflicting. The branch has been reset onto current develop and now carries only the README change.

Docs only — no code, schema, or tool-contract changes. prettier --check passes.

The Connect section said a normal user does not need "Nuthatch
access", which reads as an optional extra rather than a boundary.
Nuthatch is a private, unauthenticated loopback service inside the
DeepTrace server with no public route, so there is nothing a client
could connect to even if it wanted one.
