Makes the README a short first impression and moves the reference material into docs/.

README: 324 lines down to 66: pitch, screenshot, highlights, quick install, and a Docs index.

docs/: new pages for install, cli, keys, config, handoff, bstack, shep, review and development, plus an index in docs/README.md. Stale facts in the existing docs/bstack/ guide and herdr-agents-subagents.md were checked against the current code and fixed (for example, the stage argv in handoff). Each fact now lives in one place.

bercail/RECIPE.md (the herdr.dev first-run path): an agent that follows "add this layout" is now told to install bercail first (after asking the person), not just copy the layout files. A new "After the install" section points to Shep, the essential keys, bercail doctor and bercail bstack status. The recipe's intro is now the GitHub repo description, and preview.png is the README screenshot, so the herdr.dev card shows it too.

Checks: 0 broken links out of 100 relative links, recipe keys match keys.json, herdr-app check passes for both mods, and all 25 tests pass. Docs only, no code changes. The docs/README.md link from the recipe will 404 on GitHub until this merges.

Not tested: a real install from the herdr.dev prompt with a fresh agent.
