Eric's read on the first-visitor experience: 190 lines of pitch,
manual, gallery, and contributor doc is intimidating when the visitor
only needs the first 40. Split three ways:
README.md is now the front door — what it is, why it exists (told in
first person now, since it IS a personal itch scratched), how the six
stages work, requirements, quick start, one hero screenshot, and the
development/citizenship/license notes. Sixty percent shorter.
docs/tour.md carries the full gallery: all seven pages, the game
detail view, and the phone set, captions intact.
docs/guide.md is the complete user's guide: credentials and config,
the stages and their flags, phone pairing, photo technique, curation
stores, RPG handling, upload safety (including the collection-export
lag), the no-token-yet path, and the keep-data-out-of-git rationale.
Every relative link and README→guide anchor machine-verified to
resolve.
