Addresses a round of documentation feedback with six changes across the Documentation, Runtime, and CLI tabs.

What changed

Context boundary is now explicit. features/code-review gains a "What Autter reads during a review" section stating exactly what a review reasons over — the compare diff, the repository index (walked outward from changed files, with files fetched on demand; the standard review does not clone the repo), and connected knowledge (rules, learnings, attached docs as bounded summaries) — plus when the isolated review sandbox with a full checkout is used. features/ai-chat gets a matching "What chat can read" note, and platform-overview links both.

New Calibration page (features/calibration). Consolidates content that previously lived only in a changelog entry or one-line mentions: the feedback signals Autter records, the acted-on rate on the Health tab, learnings, muting, staged auto-demotion (and how to reverse it), verification skepticism, reviewer training, and the per-repo controls. Cross-linked from ai-chat, code-review, platform-overview, and configuration.

New Runtime page: "Anatomy of an exception" (runtime/error-lifecycle). One Node.js exception traced end to end: SDK capture (handled vs. crash, always-on error pipeline), OTLP transport, ingest and normalization, fingerprinting, ClickHouse storage, and issue/incident grouping with deploy correlation. Added to the Runtime Reference group.

CLI install lifecycle. cli/install now documents what the installer actually changes (binary, PATH mechanism, config/state files, agent integrations, Git trace2 keys, background service — and what it never touches), a step-by-step walkthrough of the guided autter onboard flow, and a full Uninstall section including Git-notes and connected-data caveats.

instrument.cjs placement. Runtime quickstart, installation, and integrations now say the file is created in your own application (one per service in a monorepo), not in the cloned autter-runtime repo. Companion PR: Autter-dev/autter-runtime#15.

"Runtime" disambiguation. Generic "runtime" phrasing on CLI and scan pages reworded to "performance"/"real behavior", a terminology note added to the Runtime introduction distinguishing the product from the review sandbox, and AGENTS.md now codifies the rule for future edits.

Created with PostHog Desktop

…all lifecycle

- Code review: new "What Autter reads during a review" section stating the
  exact context layers (diff, repository index, connected knowledge) and
  when the isolated review sandbox is used; chat scope note on AI chat page
- New Calibration page consolidating feedback signals, acted-on rate,
  learnings, muting, auto-demotion, verification skepticism, and reviewer
  training, with cross-links from ai-chat/platform-overview/configuration
- New Runtime "Anatomy of an exception" page tracing a Node.js exception
  through capture, transport, ingest/normalize, fingerprint, storage, and
  issue/incident
- CLI install: "What the installer changes" table, guided onboarding
  walkthrough, and a full Uninstall section
- Runtime quickstart/installation/integrations now say instrument.cjs is
  created in your own app, not the cloned autter-runtime repo
- Disambiguate "Runtime": generic runtime phrasing reworded, terminology
  note on Runtime introduction, AGENTS.md rules for "review sandbox"
