Ed_ 08e003a137 docs: Complete documentation rewrite at gencpp/VEFontCache reference quality
Rewrites all docs from Gemini's 330-line executive summaries to 1874 lines
of expert-level architectural reference matching the pedagogical depth of
gencpp (Parser_Algo.md, AST_Types.md) and VEFontCache-Odin (guide_architecture.md).

Changes:
- guide_architecture.md: 73 -> 542 lines. Adds inline data structures for all
  dialog classes, cross-thread communication patterns, complete action type
  catalog, provider comparison table, 4-breakpoint Anthropic cache strategy,
  Gemini server-side cache lifecycle, context refresh algorithm.
- guide_tools.md: 66 -> 385 lines. Full 26-tool inventory with parameters,
  3-layer MCP security model walkthrough, all Hook API GET/POST endpoints
  with request/response formats, ApiHookClient method reference, /api/ask
  synchronous HITL protocol, shell runner with env config.
- guide_mma.md: NEW (368 lines). Fills major documentation gap — complete
  Ticket/Track/WorkerContext data structures, DAG engine algorithms (cycle
  detection, topological sort), ConductorEngine execution loop, Tier 2 ticket
  generation, Tier 3 worker lifecycle with context amnesia, token firewalling.
- guide_simulations.md: 64 -> 377 lines. 8-stage Puppeteer simulation
  lifecycle, mock_gemini_cli.py JSON-L protocol, approval automation pattern,
  ASTParser tree-sitter vs stdlib ast comparison, VerificationLogger.
- Readme.md: Rewritten with module map, architecture summary, config examples.
- docs/Readme.md: Proper index with guide contents table and GUI panel docs.

## GUI Panels
### Projects Panel
Configuration and context management. Specifies the Git Directory (for commit tracking) and tracked file paths. Project switching swaps the active file list, discussion history, and settings via `<project>.toml` profiles.
- **Word-Wrap Toggle**: Dynamically swaps text rendering in large read-only panels (Responses, Comms Log) between unwrapped (code formatting) and wrapped (prose).
### Discussion History
Manages conversational branches to prevent context poisoning across tasks.
- **Discussions Sub-Menu**: Create separate timelines for different tasks (e.g., "Refactoring Auth" vs. "Adding API Endpoints").
- **Git Commit Tracking**: "Update Commit" reads HEAD from the project's git directory and stamps the discussion.
- **Entry Management**: Each turn has a Role (User, AI, System). Toggle between Read/Edit modes, collapse entries, or open in the Global Text Viewer via `[+ Max]`.
- **Auto-Add**: When toggled, Message panel sends and Response panel returns are automatically appended to the current discussion.
### Files & Screenshots
Controls what is fed into the context compiler.
- **Base Dir**: Defines the root for path resolution and MCP tool constraints.
- **Paths**: Explicit files or wildcard globs (`src/**/*.rs`).
- Full file contents are inlined by default. The AI can call `get_file_summary` for compact structural views.
### Provider
Switches between API backends (Gemini, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Gemini CLI). "Fetch Models" queries the active provider for the latest model list.
### Message & Response
- **Message**: User input field.
- **Gen + Send**: Compiles markdown context and dispatches to the AI via `AsyncEventQueue`.
- **MD Only**: Dry-runs the compiler for context inspection without API cost.
- **Response**: Read-only output; flashes green on new response.
### Global Text Viewer & Script Outputs
- **Last Script Output**: Pops up (flashing blue) whenever the AI executes a script. Shows both the executed script and stdout/stderr. `[+ Maximize]` reads from stored instance variables, not DPG widget tags, so it works regardless of word-wrap state.
- **Text Viewer**: Large resizable popup invoked by `[+]` / `[+ Maximize]` buttons. For deep-reading long logs, discussion entries, or script bodies.
- **Confirm Dialog**: The `[+ Maximize]` button in the script approval modal passes script text as `user_data` at button-creation time — safe to click even after the dialog is dismissed.
### Tool Calls & Comms History
Real-time display of MCP tool invocations and raw API traffic. Each comms entry: timestamp, direction (OUT/IN), kind, provider, model, payload.
### MMA Dashboard
Displays the 4-tier orchestration state: active track, ticket DAG with status indicators, per-tier token usage, output streams. Approval buttons for spawn/step/tool gates.
### System Prompts
Two text inputs for instruction overrides:
1. **Global**: Applied across every project.
2. **Project**: Specific to the active workspace.
Concatenated onto the base tool-usage guidelines.
