Closes #9.

What

The Install section in both READMEs opened with "Requires Node ≥ 20 and an Anthropic API key" — but the very next paragraph in the same file lists 20+ alternative providers as out-of-the-box. A skimming reader walked away thinking Anthropic was required when it really isn't (the user can --model gpt-4o, --model deepseek-chat, or set LISA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama, with no Anthropic key at all).

Change

File Before After
README.md "Requires Node ≥ 20 and an Anthropic API key." "Requires Node ≥ 20 and a key for at least one LLM provider — Anthropic is the default, but any of the 20+ alternatives listed below works just as well…"
README.zh-CN.md "要 Node ≥ 20 + Anthropic API key。" "要 Node ≥ 20 + 任一 LLM provider 的 key…"

Also tweaked the # Configure your key comment to point at the provider table below.

Scope

  • Two files (README.md, README.zh-CN.md)
  • Doc-only, no code touched
  • No public API change, no behavior change

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

README opens the install section with "requires an Anthropic API key"
but the next paragraph lists 20+ alternative LLM providers as
out-of-the-box. A reader skimming the heading walks away thinking
they need Anthropic specifically — they don't, anyone of the 20+
providers (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ollama / local, etc.) works on
its own with the right --model or LISA_BASE_URL.

Rephrase to "a key for at least one LLM provider" and point at the
default + alternatives. Same wording in both READMEs.

Closes #9
