asdf

Squash the current repository state back into one baseline commit while
preserving the README reframing and repository contents.

Constraint: User explicitly requested a single squashed commit with subject "asdf"
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: clean
Directive: This commit intentionally rewrites published history; coordinate before future force-pushes
Tested: git status clean; local history rewritten to one commit; force-pushed main to origin and instructkr
Not-tested: Fresh clone verification after push
