Read vs interpret

Read (this repo): extract facts, metadata, transcripts, regions, and timelines with provenance — no generative LLM required.

Interpret (out of scope): summarize, classify, or answer open questions — belongs in the agent or an optional remote provider adapter.

Planned MCP surface

Primary tool: read_path

Quick start (after v0.1.0)
