Fix main branch README with dual-purpose sections and working links

CRITICAL FIXES:
- Completely rewrote README for dual purpose (template users vs contributors)
- Fixed all broken documentation links that referenced non-existent files on main
- Clear separation: Section 1 for template users, Section 2 for developers
- Added CONTRIBUTING.md with comprehensive development guidelines

TEMPLATE USER SECTION:
- Clear warning: Don't clone, download releases instead
- Direct links to latest release artifacts
- Quick start instructions for CTO delegation
- Focus on template usage, not repository development

DEVELOPER SECTION:
- Instructions for contributing to framework itself
- WORKONMAIN branch workflow explanation
- Links to CONTRIBUTING.md for detailed guidelines
- Clear branch purposes and development setup

WORKING LINKS:
- All links now point to files that exist on main branch
- Release links use Gitea relative paths (../../releases/latest)
- License link works (./LICENSE exists on main)
- CONTRIBUTING.md link works (file created on main)

Ready for clean template user experience with no broken links.

## 🌳 Branch Structure
| Branch | Purpose | Status | Description |
|--------|---------|--------|-------------|
| **`main`** | 🔒 **Stable** | Protected | Main stable branch - no direct commits |
| **`LLMBOOTSTRAP`** | 🚀 **Active** | Feature | Initial setup and bootstrap work |
| **`INTEGRATION-WIP`** | 🔄 **Integration** | Auto-merge | Continuous integration testing |
| **`RELEASE`** | 📦 **Production** | Manual-only | Production-ready releases |
## 📋 Getting Started
### For Founder CTOs
This repository provides a complete framework for delegating development work to AI agents while maintaining professional standards:
1. **Structured AI Delegation:** Complete workflow for AI team management
2. **Professional Git Practices:** Enterprise-grade branching and documentation
3. **Dual Documentation:** Human-readable and LLM-optimized references
### For Developers & AI Agents
1. **Never work on `main`** - Always create feature branches
2. **Clone and setup:**
```bash
git clone <repository-url>
cd CTO
git checkout LLMBOOTSTRAP # See current work
```
**AI Agents:** See `docs/AGENT-LLM.MD` in feature branches for optimized instructions.
## 📚 Documentation
Complete documentation is available in the `docs/` directory on feature branches:
### Human-Readable Documentation
- **`docs/GIT_WORKFLOW.MD`** - Comprehensive git workflow with examples
- **`docs/AGENT.MD`** - AI agent guidelines and workflow reference
- **`docs/WORKLOG.md`** - Project progress and milestone tracking
- **`docs/CURRENTWORK.md`** - Detailed session notes and concerns
### LLM-Optimized Documentation
