# Code Review R009 — Step 3: Rewrite README

## Verdict

Approved.

## Findings

No blocking findings.

## Verification

Reviewed the Step 3 diff from `a12ecf2..HEAD`, including:

- `README.md`
- `taskplane-tasks/TP-054-readme-slim-down/STATUS.md`
- prior review artifact `R008-plan-step3.md`

Checks performed:

- `git diff a12ecf2..HEAD --name-only`
- `git diff a12ecf2..HEAD`
- confirmed `README.md` is 71 lines and follows the requested developer-focused structure
- confirmed all existing badges remain
- confirmed the project layout code block matches the baseline README verbatim
- confirmed the deleted-doc paths are absent from `README.md`
- confirmed removed end-user section headings are absent from `README.md`
- confirmed `make docs-tools` is a valid Makefile target
- confirmed no non-ASCII/emoji characters are present in `README.md`

The rewrite satisfies the Step 3 scope. Step 4/5 items, including deleting migrated docs and final repository-wide link/build verification, remain pending as expected.
