Improve README Documentation

Problem

The current README is minimal and lacks essential information about the repository's purpose, structure, and contents.

Current State (Before):

• Only 54 lines
• Contains logo, badges, and social links
• No project description
• No documentation links
• No contribution guidelines

Issues:

• New contributors don't understand repository purpose
• Documentation files (KYA.md, COPYRIGHT.md) are not discoverable
• No guidance on how to use or contribute
• Doesn't follow OSS README best practices

Solution

README.md (1)

68-77: Specify language for fenced code block.

The repository structure code block should declare a language for better rendering and accessibility. Markdown best practice is to specify the syntax highlighting language.

Apply this diff to specify the language:

-```
+```text
 Info/
 ├── KYA.md                    # Know Your Assumptions template
 ├── COPYRIGHT.md              # Copyright notice and usage terms
 ├── TermsAndConditions.md     # Terms and Conditions
 ├── Licenses/                 # License documentation
 ├── public/                   # Public assets (logos, images)
 │   └── stability.svg         # Stability Nexus logo
 └── README.md                 # This file

README.md (2)

56-64: Verify table of contents anchor links work with emoji-based headings.

The TOC links reference anchors like #-about, but GitHub's markdown parser typically strips emojis from heading anchors (e.g., ## 📖 About generates #about, not #-about). This could cause TOC links to fail on GitHub rendering.

Please verify by clicking each TOC link in the rendered GitHub view and confirm they navigate to the correct sections. If links are broken, adjust the TOC anchors to match GitHub's actual anchor generation. You may test by:

1. Checking out the branch locally
2. Viewing the rendered README on GitHub
3. Clicking each TOC link and confirming navigation

Alternatively, you can use browser DevTools to inspect the actual id attributes of rendered headings to confirm the correct anchor format.
