Arc Protocol v2.1 - Docs CleanUp & New tools to verify

I took the feedback from my last post seriously and rewrote the README to explain, in plain English, what ARC actually does and how it’s meant to be used.

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.1

ARC Protocol v2.0: The Orchestrator Era

🚀 Major Architecture Overhaul
ARC v2.0 transforms the protocol from a simple workflow into a fully Autonomous Engineering Team. This release introduces the Orchestrator-Worker model, allowing a Main Agent to plan ("Cortex") while specialized Subagents execute tasks in parallel ("The Fleet").

✨ Key Features

• Interactive TUI Dashboard: A professional "NASA-style" terminal interface (./dash) built with Textual. Monitor your entire AI fleet, logs, and "thoughts" in real-time.
• Specialized Subagent Fleet: 5 distinct agents with unique skills and personalities:
  • Alpha (🟣 Researcher)
  • Beta (🟢 Coder)
  • Gamma (🔴 Auditor)
  • Delta (🔵 Architect)
  • Epsilon (🟡 Debugger)
• ARC Bridge (MCP): Native Model Context Protocol server for safe, parallel file and shell access without browser bridges.
• Rule of Two: Enforced stability limits (1 Orchestrator + 2 Subagents) to respect API quotas and prevent noise.
• True Parallelism: Subagents now run as independent background daemons via arc_spawn_agent.

🛠️ Quick Update
If you are upgrading from v1:

1. git pull origin main
2. ./install.sh (or install.ps1) to update dependencies.
3. Run ./dash to launch the new interface.

ARC Protocol v1.0: Initial Release

🚀 Initial Release

The ARC (Analyze, Run, Confirm) Protocol is now publicly available! This release introduces a high-discipline, agentic workflow system designed to bridge the gap between human intent and AI execution.

✨ Key Features

• Core Workflows: /arc-plan, /arc-execute, /arc-verify for structured development.
• Live Dashboard: Real-time CLI monitoring of agent activities and "thoughts".
• Context Persistence: STATE.md and CONTRACTS.md ensure no context is lost between sessions.
• Multi-Agent Support: Native integration for Antigravity and Claude Code.
• Universal Installer: One-click setup for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
