The README's opening paragraph described the problem as content passing between "people and systems." AI agents first appeared in the third paragraph. The documentation site already puts agents in the problem statement, so the two had drifted apart.

Shared with the intro page. The README's first paragraph and the "Why build it?" paragraph in documentation/docs/intro/index.mdx now say the same thing, word for word. Both ask the two questions a receiver usually can't answer, "what was this based on?" and "who signed off on it?" They say the answers stay behind "in a review thread, an agent session, or someone's memory," and note that an AI agent receiving content may have different context from the one in which it was created. The new questions replace "was this approved?", which collided with the draft's approval decision (approval doesn't release anything), and "why does it say this?", which could read as asking for the author's reasoning, something GAP doesn't record.

Definition. The README's second paragraph opens with the intro page's definition of GAP. It used to continue with "A release proof connects…" and three terms not yet defined. It now says that records of the rules, sources, and decisions travel with each released version, "like a packet of context," echoing the context packet in "Why GAP?", and says that a person or an AI agent receiving it can read the content and check who signed off on it and what it was based on, answering the opening paragraph's two questions. "Release proof" and profiles are still introduced in "How GAP works."

Demos. The "Explore applications" section adds one sentence: each walkthrough is a conversation with an AI agent connected to the demo server.

Because the README and the intro page now share a paragraph, an edit to one should go to the other. pnpm docs:build passes.

The opening said "people and systems" and only named AI agents in the
audience paragraph, and never said the demos are driven by talking to an
agent. Borrow the intro page's "Why build it?" paragraph and its
definition of GAP so the README and the site describe the problem and the
protocol the same way, and say how you try the demos.

"Was this approved?" collided with the draft's approval decision, and
"why does it say this?" read as a request for the author's reasoning.
Ask the two questions a receiver can actually get answered, in the same
words on the README and the intro page. Drop the status line's note
about talking to an agent and say it once, plainly, in the demo section.

A review thread is where "who signed off on it?" usually lives; an agent
session is where "what was this based on?" often ends. List both, on the
README and the intro page, so the places match the questions and the
tools, people, and AI agents named before them.

The intro doesn't need the formal term yet. Call the records a context
packet that travels with each release, as "Why GAP?" does, and leave
"release proof" to "How GAP works," where it is defined.

"Think of them as…" told the reader what to do instead of saying what
happens. Say that records of the rules, sources, and decisions travel
with each released version as a context packet.

"As a context packet" read like a term the reader had to learn. Make it
a plain comparison; the guides introduce the term later.

"Check which version was released" read clinically. Say that a receiver
can read the content and check who signed off on it and what it was
based on, answering the questions the opening paragraph asks.

"Without recreating the original workflow" read clinically. Name the
review thread and agent session from the opening paragraph instead.
