[README]: Improve README Structure and Contributor Onboarding

[Darshan3690]

The current README is very comprehensive but too long and dense. It serves multiple audiences at once (users, contributors, DevOps, enterprise), which reduces clarity and increases cognitive load.

Key issues:

• Quick Start is buried deep in the file
• No clear architecture overview
• Integration and deployment details dominate the README
• Hard for new contributors to onboard quickly

---

Describe the solution you'd like

Restructure the README to improve clarity and contributor onboarding.

Proposed changes:

1. Add a clear Table of Contents at the top

2. Move Quick Start near the top

3. Add an Architecture Overview section (tech stack + optional diagram)

4. Move integration setup docs to /docs/integrations/

5. Move advanced deployment docs to /docs/deployment/

6. Keep README focused on:

   • Project overview
   • Value proposition
   • Quick start
   • Architecture
   • Contributing guide
   • License overview

7. Use collapsible <details> blocks for advanced sections

Goal: Reduce README size by ~30–40% and improve usability.

---

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Collapsing sections using <details> tags
• Adding more anchors and navigation links

These still keep the file large and heavy. Moving detailed content to /docs provides better long-term maintainability.

---

Additional context

This improves:

• First-time contributor onboarding
• Developer experience
• Contribution velocity
• Overall repository approachability

Many successful OSS projects keep README concise and move deep documentation into structured /docs folders.

---

Requirement/Document

If approved, I will:

• Draft a cleaner README structure

• Open a PR that:

  • Refactors README
  • Creates /docs/integrations/
  • Creates /docs/deployment/
  • Adds Architecture section
  • Fixes all internal links

No breaking changes expected.
