Summary

This branch makes a minor copy edit to the README warning banner, replacing the phrase "Do not use it" with the softer but still cautionary "Avoid using it" when advising users about sensitive or production workloads. The change tightens the wording to be less absolute while preserving the intent of the alpha-software disclaimer.

Tutorial Steps

Soften warning language in README disclaimer

Intent: Replace the imperative "Do not use it" with the less prescriptive "Avoid using it" to convey caution without an outright prohibition, better matching the advisory tone of the alpha-software banner.

Affected files: README.md

The README carries a [!WARNING] blockquote that discloses the project's alpha status and vibe-coded origins. The original phrasing used the direct imperative "Do not use it for sensitive or production workloads", which reads as an absolute prohibition.

The updated wording switches to "Avoid using it …", which:

  • Still clearly communicates risk to the reader.
  • Adopts a softer advisory tone, acknowledging that users may have varying risk tolerances.
  • Stays concise and scannable inside the existing banner.

No other content in the file is changed.
