# Step 0: readme-usage-flow

## Read First
- /AGENTS.md
- /PLAN.md
- /PROGRESS.md
- /docs/HARNESS.md
- /docs/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md
- /README.md
- /phases/7-mvp-quality-hardening/index.json

## Task
Update README usage flow for the MVP CLI.

Document install, validation, basic conversion, formula parser modes, runtime modes, output layout, resume, and logs.

## Sprint Contract
- Done means: a user can follow README instructions to run the local CLI on Windows after environment setup.
- Hard thresholds: commands match implemented CLI; docs do not promise PyQt or hosted API as MVP; generated output contract is accurate.
- Files owned: `README.md`, docs as needed, `PROGRESS.md`, `phases/8-release-docs-packaging/index.json`.
- Dependencies: MVP quality hardening complete.

## Acceptance Criteria
```powershell
python scripts\validate_workspace.py
```

## Verification
1. Run the acceptance command.
2. Confirm documented commands are copy-pasteable in PowerShell.
3. Update `PROGRESS.md` and this phase index.

## Do Not
- Do not document unimplemented features as available.
- Do not add marketing-style content.
- Do not include model weights in the repository.
