-Soundwave multi-channel: parallel lanes with per-channel ordering (no reordering).
+## Why PAXECT (recap)
 
-Operationally simple: Core runs locally; Link uses SMB/NFS/cloud (inbox/outbox).
+- Bit-identical runs across OS/languages (audit, compliance, regression)
+- Soundwave multi-channel: parallel lanes with per-channel ordering (no reordering)
+- Operationally simple: Core runs locally; Link uses SMB/NFS/cloud (inbox/outbox)
+- Risk-free extensibility: plugins (AES, SelfTune, Polyglot, Link) without Core changes
+- Privacy by default: local execution, no telemetry, Zero-AI
 
-Risk-free extensibility: Plugins (AES, SelfTune, Polyglot, Link) without Core changes.
+## Use Cases (examples)
 
-Privacy by default: local execution, no telemetry, Zero-AI.
-Use Cases (examples)
+- Quantum/Research: package circuits/results/logs reproducibly; share via Link + AES
+- AI/ML: tensors/datasets/models as `.freq`; deterministic; optional encryption
+- Edge/Robotics/Automotive: stable multi-stream logging + firmware artifacts, cross-OS
+- HPC/Big Data: large files + live streams in parallel; integrity guaranteed
+- Media/Telemetry: many concurrent channels without head-of-line blocking
 
-Quantum/Research: package circuits/results/logs reproducibly; share securely via Link + AES.
+## Plugins (overview)
 
-AI/ML: tensors/datasets/models as .freq; deterministic; optional encryption.
+- **AES Secure:** AES-256 GCM/CTR, scrypt KDF, AAD; fail-stop on mismatch
+- **Polyglot:** Python/Node.js/Go; same deterministic pipeline across runtimes
+- **SelfTune 5-in-1:** guardrails, overhead control, rate-limiting/backpressure, smoothing, light observability
+- **Link (Inbox/Outbox):** shared-folder bridge; auto-encode non-`.freq` → `.freq`, auto-decode `.freq` → files; zero server
 
-Edge/Robotics/Automotive: stable multi-stream logging and firmware artifacts, cross-OS.
+## Quick Start
 
-HPC/Big Data: large files + live streams in parallel; integrity guaranteed.
+- Encode → Decode → Verify in two commands (Bash/PowerShell)
+- Output is bit-identical to input (`cmp` or `fc /b`)
+- Optional: run Link watcher and drop files into `inbox/` for auto package/extract
 
-Media/Telemetry: many concurrent channels without head-of-line blocking.
-Plugins (overview)
+## Data Policy
 
-AES Secure: AES-256 GCM/CTR, scrypt KDF, AAD; fail-stop on mismatch.
+- Default limit: **512 MB per operation** (predictable performance; DoS-resistant)
+- Configurable: `PAXECT_MAX_INPUT_MB` (e.g., 8192 for 8 GB)
+- On exceed → **hard-fail**, no partial output; Link inherits same policy
 
-Polyglot: Python/Node.js/Go; same deterministic pipeline across runtimes.
+## Security & Privacy
 
-SelfTune 5-in-1: guardrails, overhead control, rate-limiting/backpressure, smoothing, light observability.
+- Integrity: CRC32 per frame; strict parser; **fail-stop** on mismatch
+- Confidentiality/Authenticity: **AES-256 GCM** (recommended) or **CTR + AAD/HMAC**
+- Privacy: local-only; **no telemetry**; logging is opt-in and minimal
 
-Link (Inbox/Outbox): shared-folder bridge; auto-encode non-.freq → .freq, auto-decode .freq → files; zero server.
-Quick Start
+## Support & Compatibility
 
-Encode → Decode → Verify in two commands (Bash/PowerShell).
+- **OS:** Windows 10/11, Linux, macOS
+- **Shells:** CMD/PowerShell/Bash; CI-friendly
+- **Languages:** Python • Node.js • Go (more via Polyglot/stdin-stdout)
+- **CPU:** x86_64 (tested), ARMv7 (smoke), ARM64 (planned), RISC-V (optional)
 
-Output is bit-identical to input (use cmp/fc /b to verify).
+## Roadmap (transparent)
 
-Data Policy
+- **Principles:** SemVer 1.x; determinism first; no silent changes
+- **Aims for 1.0:** ARM64 builds (where feasible), AES plugin GA, Polyglot stable, SelfTune public, Link stable
+- **Post-1.0 (intent):** signed binaries, SBOM/attestations, templates (Kafka/S3/SIEM), LTS; PQC plugins exploration  
+- *Note:* plan/intent, not a promise; priorities may shift with feedback/tests
 
-Default limit: 512 MB per operation (predictable performance; DoS-resistant).
