The README opened on how lich is built (Electron, Gio, Go) instead of what it does. This rewrites the pitch around the tool itself.

  • README, all 7 languages: new tagline, a Download link and the screenshot up top, then a features wall (one sentence and one screenshot per feature). The provider support table is unchanged, row for row, folded under a <details>. Install, Getting started, Configuration, Privacy and Build from source are shorter; the detail they dropped already lives in INSTALL.md and docs/. The Go and Gio badges are gone.
  • Site (docs/index*.html, docs/changelog*.html): title, description, og description, hero and footer carry the new tagline in every locale.
  • Social card (docs/media/og.png): tagline replaced in the image.
  • Packages: nfpm, AUR, Scoop, Homebrew, the .desktop comment and the release notes' image alt.
  • docs/media/worktrees.png: a crop of session.png for the worktree row, so the hero screenshot is not repeated.

No CHANGELOG entry: this is copy, not a change to the app.

Rewrite the README in every language around a features wall, fold the
provider table under a details block, and carry the new tagline to the
site, the social card and the package descriptions.
