What & why

Reframes the README opening to lead with what this repo demonstrates, per the GitHub public-alignment pass. Opening now leads with the verification-gate thesis and its tie to SurgeXi's verified-knowledge work (Ma'at Codex).

Installation and quick-start content is unchanged — it just no longer competes with the opening for the reader's first impression. No functional/code changes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Retrieval that structurally cannot fabricate a citation; the verification technique behind Ma'at Codex.

Installation/quick-start stays; only the opening is reframed to lead
with the capability, not the setup.

**What this demonstrates.** The "never-fabricates" pattern — move trust out of the
model entirely and put a verification gate in front of every citation: the cited key
must resolve to a real stored chunk, and any quoted text must be a verbatim substring of
it, or the whole answer abstains. This is a clean-room reference implementation of the

P2 Badge Describe mixed-citation handling accurately

When a proposal contains both valid and invalid citations, AnswerEngine.answer does not make the whole answer abstain: it returns proposal.answer with the valid citations and records only the invalid ones in dropped. The adversarial example immediately below exercises exactly this mixed case, so this opening overstates the gate's fail-closed behavior; either describe abstention as occurring only when no citation survives, or change the engine accordingly.
