Summary
Full git clone was taking ~5 minutes due to full history download, making the "30 second install" claim inaccurate. All 4 clone commands in README.md now use --single-branch --depth 1 for a fast shallow clone.

Added a contributor note for power users who need full history.

Test plan

  • Verify all 4 clone commands have --single-branch --depth 1
  • Contributor note visible between Step 2 and Codex section
  • No other README content changed
