Summary

Refreshes the README to clearly and accurately reflect the current system after Phase B4 (PR #19), and to make the high-level story accessible to builders.

  • Foregrounds the now-real flagship capability: bounded whole-genome germline calling from a portable index + a coordinate-sorted BAM, with a verifiable memory receipt — with the index → sort → variants --index workflow up top.
  • Accessible lead: plain-language "what it is / why it matters / who it's for" before the technical detail; the memory-as-a-verifiable-contract value prop stated up front.
  • Corrects stale text: the old README said "wiring multi-contig through align/variants is a later phase" — variants --index has landed. Adds an honest single-contig (aligner / --reference) vs. whole-genome (variants --index, index/locate) scope section.
  • Updated roadmap: Phase A + B done; Phase C = budget enforcement + rosalind plan/verify; aligner-over-the-index and sublinear-space construction later. Notes --memory-budget-mb is record-only today (does not yet enforce).
  • Adds the variants_index test target to the test list and a note on the call_germline_whole_genome library entry point.

Docs-only; all claims verified against the live CLI (--help), the manifest naming (<output>.manifest.json), and the present test targets / example data.

Adds an accessible plain-language lead (what it is, why it matters, who it's for), the index->sort->variants --index flagship workflow, an accurate single-contig vs whole-genome scope section, and an updated roadmap (Phase A+B done; C = budget enforcement / plan / verify; aligner-over-index + sublinear-space construction later). Corrects the stale 'wiring variants is a later phase' text.
