docs: improve README with PyPI install, usage examples, and badges (#27)

* docs: improve README with PyPI install, usage examples, and badges

Replace clone-based installation with PyPI instructions (pip/uv),
add usage examples showing model imports and validation, add a
model package reference table, and add PyPI/license badges.

Closes #1

* docs: address review feedback on README examples

Remove unused LineItem and Total imports from usage example.
Move serialization inside try-except block and add missing
Checkout import in validation example.

* docs(readme): address PR review comments and fix prettier formatting

* docs(readme): drop redundant Pydantic sentence in Usage section

* docs(readme): replace Usage lead-in with example framing

 ## Installation
 
-For now, you can install the SDK using the following commands:
+To use this SDK in your own project, install it from PyPI:
 
 ```bash
-# Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/Universal-Commerce-Protocol/python-sdk.git
+pip install ucp-sdk
+```
 
-# Navigate to the directory
-cd python-sdk
+Or, if you are managing your project with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/):
 
-# Install dependencies
-uv sync
+```bash
+uv add ucp-sdk
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+The example below parses a UCP checkout response and reads typed fields:
+
+```python
+from ucp_sdk.models.schemas.shopping.checkout import Checkout
+
+# Parse a UCP checkout response
+checkout = Checkout.model_validate(checkout_data)
+
+# Access typed fields
+print(checkout.status)       # "incomplete" | "ready_for_complete" | ...
+print(checkout.currency)     # ISO 4217 currency code
+for item in checkout.line_items:
+    print(f"{item.item.title}: {item.quantity}")
+```
+
+### Available model packages
+
+| Package                                 | Description                                         |
+| --------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ucp_sdk.models.schemas.shopping`       | Checkout, cart, order, payment models               |
+| `ucp_sdk.models.schemas.shopping.types` | Line items, totals, buyer, fulfillment, etc.        |
+| `ucp_sdk.models.schemas.transports`     | REST, MCP, and embedded protocol bindings           |
+| `ucp_sdk.models.schemas`                | Service definitions, capabilities, payment handlers |
+
+### Validation
+
+All models support Pydantic validation and serialization:
+
+```python
+from pydantic import ValidationError
+from ucp_sdk.models.schemas.shopping.checkout import Checkout
+
+# Validate data against UCP schemas
+try:
+    checkout = Checkout.model_validate(checkout_data)
+    # Serialize to JSON-compatible dict
+    checkout_dict = checkout.model_dump(exclude_none=True)
+except ValidationError as e:
+    print(e.errors())
 ```
