docs: README, plan, guides and the site describe what is built now
README: rewritten around what runs (Linux software, Xorg, apk, Linux's drivers), the honest gaps, measured numbers. plan/: 1.0.md is the finish line, where each clause of the acceptance test stands, and the register (one failing clause: a root that survives a reboot); built plans (foundations, hybrid, alpine, xorg) and the decided-against one (wayland) are gone, their content lives in architecture/; roadmap.md is only what is still open. guides: building/layout/testing/adding-a-driver (Linux code may be used). history: four entries (ls -lR, TLB shootdowns, MDIO 0x02460246, netlink MSG_TRUNC). Website: cards, stack, download page, docs index. Code comments that pointed at deleted plan docs point at the architecture docs.
