docs: replace placeholder README with real project overview

[Copilot]

README contained a two-line placeholder. Replaced with content derived from the actual codebase.

Changes

• Repo structure table — maps each top-level directory to its purpose
• Quick-start snippet — minimal AutomationEngine usage (register component → define automation → fire event), with PYTHONPATH=src note
• API endpoint reference — condensed table of all REST endpoints from docs/openapi/automation.yaml
• Ecosystem link — pointer to docs/pinkycollie-ecosystem-inventory.md for cross-org architecture

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Generate endpoint table from OpenAPI during CI

• ➕ Prevents README endpoint drift as the OpenAPI spec evolves
• ➕ Keeps the README concise while ensuring accuracy
• ➖ Adds CI/build tooling and a generation step to the workflow
• ➖ May reduce readability/editability for simple doc tweaks

2. Link to OpenAPI only (remove duplicated endpoint table)

• ➕ Eliminates duplication and maintenance overhead
• ➕ Avoids partial/condensed endpoint listings becoming outdated
• ➖ Higher friction for readers who want a quick glance at endpoints
• ➖ Less “at-a-glance” utility on the project landing page

Recommendation: The PR’s approach is good for discoverability: a structure table + quick-start + endpoint summary makes the repo usable immediately. If the OpenAPI spec is expected to change frequently, consider either generating the endpoint table from the spec in CI or trimming the README to a link-only reference to avoid drift.

Replace placeholder README with overview, quick start, and API summary

• Replaces the two-line placeholder with a real project overview including a repo structure table. Adds a minimal AutomationEngine usage snippet (component registration → definition → trigger) and notes running with 'PYTHONPATH=src'. Includes a condensed endpoint reference derived from the OpenAPI spec and links to ecosystem architecture documentation.

1. Payload shape inconsistent 🐞 Bug ⚙ Maintainability

Description

The README quick-start uses a string payload (payload="world"), but the published OpenAPI contract
defines REST trigger payloads as a JSON object; this inconsistency can cause readers to copy an
example that doesn’t match the HTTP contract. Either align the sample payload with the OpenAPI
schema or explicitly note that the in-process Python engine accepts arbitrary payload types while
the REST API expects an object.

Code

README.md[R33-35]

+# Fire an event
+results = engine.trigger_type("user.request", payload="world")
+print(results[0].status)   # RunStatus.SUCCESS

Evidence

The README’s quick-start uses a string payload, while the OpenAPI schema for the REST trigger
endpoint defines payload as an object; the engine’s Python API indeed accepts Any, so the docs
should either align examples or clarify the distinction.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
The README quick-start triggers an event with `payload="world"` (a string). However, the OpenAPI contract for `POST /automation/events/trigger` specifies `payload` as a JSON object. This mismatch can confuse users and lead to incompatible client implementations.

### Issue Context
- The Python engine method `trigger_type(..., payload: Any)` accepts any payload type.
- The REST contract (`TriggerEventRequest.payload`) is documented as `type: object`.

### Fix Focus Areas
- README.md[18-36]
- docs/openapi/automation.yaml[150-164]

### Suggested fix
- Update the README example to use an object payload, e.g. `payload={"name": "world"}` (or similar), **or** add a short note clarifying that the REST API expects an object payload while the Python engine can accept arbitrary types.
