docs: describe the settled v0.8.0 surface, not the release that made it

[colevels]

The docs were accurate — bun run src/index.ts help matches the README's command block verbatim, and CLAUDE.md's protocol/ring/timeout numbers all check out against the source. What was stale is the framing: both files opened as v0.8.0 release notes ("Status: proof of concept", "v0.8.0 is the subtraction", the never-tagged-0.7.0 archaeology). That's the first thing a reader meets and the last thing they need, now that 0.8.0 is where everyone starts.

README

• Top banner deleted — the page opens on the pitch.
• One status line before Commands links to a new What changed in v0.8.0 section at the end, which absorbs everything the banner carried: the five removed tabs commands, the three removed flags and why each was a flag that could only ever be wrong, init's one-skill change (with the "re-run tabbrew init" note for anyone set up before 0.8.0), the v0.6.0 pin, and the never-tagged 0.7.0.
• Inline design rationale stays where it explains a current absence (--out/--port, "it does not wait for an answer", the two-skills note); only the tabs-history.jsonl line was reworded, since it leaned on the banner for context.

CLAUDE.md

• ## Status: past the POC → ## The shape of this repo, keeping only durable instruction: the subtractive bias, registry.ts + git log as the authority on what exists, a don't reintroduce list that records where each removal's replacement lives (tabs watch → /loop, tabs push/check → tabs suggest), and the v0.7.0 trap.

Two drift fixes

• src/bridge.ts (added in e25def8) was described in the architecture prose but missing from the project-layout tree.
• docs/commands.html was credited to v0.7.0; the page itself is titled tabbrew CLI v0.8.0.

Also, outside this diff

package.json's description still described a docs-push tool and predated the tabs bridge — updated here. The GitHub repo description and topics were changed directly (not versionable): the description now leads with the tab loop, and tab-management + device-flow were added to the existing eight topics.

Verification

• bun run typecheck and bun test pass (20/20).
• bun run src/index.ts help output is unchanged and still matches the README's command block.
• Every src/*.ts now appears in CLAUDE.md's layout tree; the #what-changed-in-v080 anchor resolves.
• No reference to a removed command survives outside the history section and the two places explaining why init deletes tabbrew-auto.
