Add README.md for tool compatibility (#4)

Systems like Glama and modelcontextprotocol/servers CI require a
README.md at the repo root. This is a Markdown conversion of the
existing README.adoc with identical content.

+# Bundle of Joy (BoJ) Server
+
+Unified server capability catalogue with formally verified cartridges, distributed community hosting, and the Teranga menu system.
+
+> **AI-Assisted Install:** Just tell any AI assistant:
+> `Set up Bundle of Joy Server from https://github.com/hyperpolymath/boj-server`
+> The AI reads this repo, asks you a few questions, and handles everything.
+
+## What is this?
+
+BoJ solves the **combinatoric explosion of developer server protocols**. Instead of hunting across dozens of MCP, LSP, DAP, and other servers, AI goes to ONE place — the Teranga menu — and orders what it needs.
+
+The server is **distributed**: community nodes volunteer compute time (like Tor/IPFS), with cryptographic hash attestation ensuring integrity. No central hosting required.
+
+## The 2D Capability Matrix
+
+Capabilities are organised as a 2D matrix:
+
+- **Columns** = protocol types (MCP, LSP, DAP, BSP, NeSy, Agentic, Fleet, gRPC, REST)
+- **Rows** = capability domains (Cloud, Container, Database, K8s, Git, Secrets, Queues, IaC, Observe, SSG, Proof, Fleet, NeSy)
+- **Cells** = cartridges (formally verified, swappable capability modules)
+
+Each cartridge follows the **three-layer stack**:
+
+| Layer | Language | Purpose |
+|-------|----------|---------|
+| **ABI** | Idris2 | Formal proofs, `%default total`, zero `believe_me` |
+| **FFI** | Zig | C-compatible native execution, zero runtime deps |
+| **Adapter** | V-lang | Triple API (REST + gRPC + GraphQL) |
+
+## The Teranga Menu
+
+The menu has three tiers:
+
+- **Teranga (Core)**: Cartridges maintained by the project
+- **Shield**: Privacy and security (SDP, DoQ/DoH, oDNS)
+- **Ayo (Community)**: Community-contributed cartridges
+
+AI agents act as the "Maître D'" — presenting the menu to users as honoured guests.
+
+See: `.machine_readable/servers/menu.a2ml`
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Clone and enter
+git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/boj-server
+cd boj-server
+
+# Type-check the Idris2 ABI
+cd src/abi && idris2 --build boj.ipkg
+
+# Build the Zig FFI
+cd ../../ffi/zig && zig build
+
+# Run tests
+cd ffi/zig && zig build test
+```
+
+## Distributed Hosting (Umoja Network)
+
+BoJ servers are community-hosted:
+
+- Pull the container from the Stapeln supply chain
+- Run it locally (Podman, Chainguard base)
+- Your node appears in the Umoja network via gossip protocol
+- Hash attestation ensures integrity — tampered nodes are excluded from the community network but can still run locally
+
+See: `docs/FEDERATION.md`
+
+## Contributing Cartridges
+
+Build a cartridge that passes the `IsUnbreakable` proof and it goes in the Ayo menu with your name honoured.
+
+See: `docs/DEVELOPERS.md`
+
+## Cultural Terminology
+
+We use terms from Wolof (*Teranga* — hospitality), Swahili (*Umoja* — unity), and Yoruba (*Ayo* — joy) to align our architecture with global values.
+
+See: `docs/CULTURAL-RESPECT.md`
+
+## License
+
+PMPL-1.0-or-later (Palimpsest License). The license's provenance requirements (crypto signatures, emotional lineage) align directly with the hash attestation model.
+
+## Project Status
+
+**Grade A (Production)** — 18 cartridges, 307 tests passing, thread-safe FFI (mutex-hardened), panic-attack validated. See `READINESS.md` for the full CRG assessment and `.machine_readable/STATE.a2ml` for milestone progress.
+
+## A Community Project
+
+This is a community project. Nobody makes money from it. It exists because the problem (too many servers, too much fragmentation) needed solving, and the solution needed building.
+
+**What would help most right now:**
+
+- **Host a node** — Even for a few hours a week. Pull the container, let it gossip. Every node strengthens the network. See `docs/OPERATOR-QUICKSTART.md`.
+- **Try it out** — Use it via MCP, REST, or gRPC. Break things. Tell me what's confusing, what's missing, what doesn't work.
+- **Build on it** — Write a cartridge, create an extension, wire it to your own tools. The third axis is wide open.
+- **Give feedback** — Comments, issues, PRs, emails, carrier pigeons. All welcome.
+
+A huge thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at this. Even a quick glance and an honest opinion helps enormously. I built this to learn from it, and I learn most from other people using it.
