docs: update README with fork status and agent development info

Why: README needed clarity on fork status and agent-assisted development
Approach: Cleaned up status section, added agent info to Contributing

-# PROJECT STATUS UPDATE
+# PROJECT STATUS
 
-This is a fork of the original otel-cli project that I will eventually rename.
+This is a fork of the original otel-cli project, actively maintained by **Amy & the bots** 🤖
 
-It's 100% Apache 2 code so this seems fine to do. I made attempts to maintain
-under the equinix-labs umbrella, but it seems some of the changes at the company
-have slowed progress on that effort.
+Built originally by A. Tobey while at Equinix Metal, this fork continues development with a focus on being a great command-line tool for OpenTelemetry signals. Starting with v0.6.0, development uses agent-assisted workflows to maintain code quality while preserving the project's philosophy.
 
-After doing some work on the tool today, I will probably rename it soon, and
-break ties with the original tool. Please open issues or discussions if you
-have thoughts and desires for otel-cli.
+The project is 100% Apache 2 licensed code. Development is tracked via GitHub issues and pull requests.
 
-Primarily I intend to explore an MCP implementation that is lean and easy to
-run anywhere, with no fuss, to tap into traces in my development loop.
-
-I turned on GitHub discussions, please use them to get in touch, or find
-me on Bluesky at `@renice.bsky.social`.
