Adds a Troubleshooting section covering the most common setup issues:

  • Tools not showing up in Claude Code
  • LanceDB / timeline search not working
  • CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR not set
  • Triage classifying everything as TRIVIAL
  • npm global install path issues
  • High memory usage during ingestion

Each entry includes symptoms, causes, and fixes.

… and contracts

The README references .preflight/ config extensively but there were no
concrete example files to copy. This adds a ready-to-use examples/.preflight/
directory with annotated config.yml, triage.yml, and contracts/api.yml,
plus a README explaining how to use them.
Created examples/USAGE_EXAMPLES.md with 8 real-world scenarios showing
what each tool looks like in practice: preflight_check catching vague
prompts, scope_work creating execution plans, enrich_agent_task for
sub-agents, sharpen_followup resolving ambiguity, session health checks,
semantic history search, weekly scorecards, and prompt grading.

Added link to usage examples in README nav bar.

This is great for onboarding. The troubleshooting section covers the actual pain points people hit — especially the LanceDB/Rosetta gotcha and the CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR env var. The usage examples doc is thorough without being overwhelming. One suggestion: the "Tools don't show up" section could mention checking claude mcp list to verify the server registered — that's usually the fastest diagnostic. Ship it.
