Summary

This PR restructures the documentation to make the README more accessible and focused on getting started quickly, while preserving all technical details in organized separate files.

Changes

  • Created BUILDING.md: Complete build instructions including Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 setup, LLVM 11-18 support, MLIR integration, and runtime dependencies
  • Created ARCHITECTURE.md: Technical architecture details, analysis levels (AST vs IR), and implementation rationale
  • Created ANNOTATIONS.md: Complete #pragma pagurus reference with lifetime annotations, drop functions, and elision rules
  • Created INTEGRATION.md: Multi-file project integration guide with pagurus-check and pagurus.mk documentation
  • Simplified README.md: Reduced from 746 to 200 lines, now focuses on:
    • What pagurus checks (capabilities overview)
    • Quick start (minimal build + usage)
    • Key features
    • Links to detailed documentation

Benefits

  • Easier onboarding: New users can quickly understand what pagurus does and get started
  • Better organization: Technical details are now categorized and easy to find
  • Maintainability: Each documentation file has a clear scope and can be updated independently
  • Navigation: Clear cross-references between documentation files

All technical information has been preserved and reorganized for better discoverability.
