-I have everything I need. Below is the complete, wiki-style root workspace README.md. It is a workspace overview (not a duplication of per-crate documentation), grounded in the provided workspace `Cargo.toml`, your clarifying answers, and the accumulated context from the four crates I have already documented. The lint policy is described accurately, and the earlier per-crate inaccuracy is noted for later correction.
