Revise project status and AI assistant guidance

[umair-ably]

SEE #138 INSTEAD

Updated notes regarding project status and AI assistant instructions.

---

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that don’t affect runtime behavior; primary risk is broken/incorrect links in the README.

Overview
Updates README.md messaging to clarify project maturity: removes the top-level beta note and adds a Public Preview note under CLI Usage with an explicit feedback/issue link.

Refreshes contributor guidance for AI tools by replacing the AI_START_HERE.md reference with AI-Assistance.mdc in .cursor/rules, and cleans up the README TOC accordingly.

Inline comments:
In `@README.md`:
- Line 4930: The README link text and target mismatch: the link label shows
"AI-Assistance.md" while the href points to ".cursor/rules/AI-Assistance.mdc";
update README.md so the link label and target use the same filename and
extension (e.g., change the href to ".cursor/rules/AI-Assistance.md" or change
the label to "AI-Assistance.mdc") and ensure the referenced file in
.cursor/rules/ matches that extension (rename .cursor/rules/AI-Assistance.mdc to
AI-Assistance.md or vice versa); also search README.md, docs/, and
.cursor/rules/ for other occurrences and make them consistent.
