The "> **The thesis.**" deck callout plus the "The flakiness problem" numbered list duplicated each other and both leaned on the "VCR for MCP" framing. Folded into a single Why section that names the three flakiness modes in prose. Renamed "Why not just mock?" to "vs. mocks and snapshot tests" to drop the preemptive-defense framing. Tables, code examples, transcript format, programmatic API, FAQ, and roadmap unchanged.

What
De-slop pass matching the rest of the README rewrite batch. Replaces the `> The thesis.` deck callout AND the duplicated `## ✦ The flakiness problem` numbered list with a single `## Why` section in flowing prose. Renames `## ✦ Why not just mock?` to `## ✦ vs. mocks and snapshot tests` to drop the preemptive-defense framing.
The substantive content (mode docs, transcript format, comparison table, worked example, programmatic API, FAQ, roadmap) is unchanged.
Why
The thesis blockquote and the "flakiness problem" section both said the same thing in different words and both used the "X is flaky because Y" framing. The rewrite says it once in plain prose.
