README.md:1

  • This bash command appears to be leftover from the old README content and should be removed since data persistence information has been moved to the wiki. This line doesn't appear to be part of any coherent section in the current README structure.

Note on wiki structure: Ideally, this wiki/directory would be migrated to GitHub's built-in wiki feature for better discoverability and navigation. However, if that's not preferred, the content can easily be restructured back to a regular docs/ folder while maintaining all the organizational improvements. The current structure works well either way - just a consideration for future organization! 📚
