This file is now a thin pointer. The two canonical entry points are:
00-START-HERE.md— orientation (5 min), the two arms of the project, reading paths, what's not in this repo, the full top-level document table.README.md— landing page with the architectural claims, the V→H phase arc, quick start, and the "What's proven right now" table.
This file is preserved at this URL for anyone who linked here before the consolidation. New readers should open 00-START-HERE.md.
The original INDEX.md was a "deliverable index" written in April 2026 for the v1.0.0 circuit-evolution release. It described OMC as a "standalone executable" — accurate then, badly incomplete now after Phase V (self-hosting) and Phase H (self-healing compiler) closed.
Rather than rewrite the same content twice, the index moved into 00-START-HERE.md (table at the bottom). The v1.0.0 release content lives in RELEASE_BODY_v1.0.0.md, which has not been edited because that file is a historical artifact about a specific release.
