Pull request overview

This PR updates the README to improve clarity, organization, and add guidance for AI agents. The changes transform the README from a functional but dense document into a more modern, user-friendly guide with better visual hierarchy and clearer sections.

Changes:

  • Restructured content with improved visual hierarchy using badges, sections, and collapsible details
  • Enhanced installation instructions with all methods grouped by platform and clearer guidance
  • Added "AI Agents" section linking to AGENTS.md for contributors and providing guidance for users of AI coding assistants
  • Updated terminology for consistency (e.g., "Mac" → "macOS")
  • Simplified and clarified data collection, contributing, and legal sections

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
