Previously the repo had no root README. Pitch + architecture + crate-level
breakdown + routes + runtime stack + roadmap all lived in dated HANDOVER
docs + docs/brief/ + memory. This pulls the canonical overview into the
single place a new contributor / investor / cursory browser will actually
land first.
Sections: design principles, what Kon does today (shipped capabilities),
architecture (3-layer: Rust workspace → Tauri commands → Svelte UI),
crate-by-crate responsibilities, Tauri command surface, frontend shape,
runtime stack with pinned versions, platform support matrix, build + dev
setup, testing, pointers into docs/, roadmap, contributing notes, licence
placeholder, contact.
All claims are grounded in current code state (136 tests, 9 crates, 18
Tauri command modules, Tauri 2.10.3, whisper-rs 0.16, llama-cpp-2
0.1.144, sqlx 0.8.6). No marketing puff; preserves the ideology-firm
stance from memory.
