The README §Why argued ash mostly on token efficiency. Adds three motivations a single consistent entry point uniquely enables:

  • No usage ledger (problem bullet) — fragmented rg/fd/jq/git share no seam, so a concise performance-and-usage history of a session cannot be assembled at all.
  • No safety chokepoint (problem bullet) — every utility touches the filesystem directly; nowhere to interpose path validation or a soft project jail.
  • Wall-time (response paragraph) — one consistent entry point is one place to optimize: warm daemon, no per-command process spawn, no environment re-probing. The ledger sentence now also covers latency, so "is this faster?" is as answerable as "is this saving tokens?".

Docs-only.

The Why section argued ash mostly on token efficiency. Added three
motivations that a single consistent entry point uniquely enables:

- "No usage ledger" bullet — fragmented tools share no seam, so a
  concise performance-and-usage history of a session cannot be
  assembled at all.
- "No safety chokepoint" bullet — every utility touches the filesystem
  directly; nowhere to interpose path validation or a soft jail.
- The "ash is the response" paragraph now makes the wall-time point —
  one entry point is one place to optimize (warm daemon, no per-command
  process spawn, no environment re-probing) — and the ledger sentence
  covers latency so "is this faster?" is as answerable as "is this
  saving tokens?".
