docs: rewrite README (<=100 lines), add ARCHITECTURE.md with Mermaid diagrams, add API.md from swagger.yaml

Replaces an 89-line README that mostly duplicated code links with a
90-line README that answers the three questions a new reader actually
asks: 'what is this?', 'how do I run it?', 'where do I go next?'.

Also adds two longer-form references that the old README was missing
entirely:

docs/ARCHITECTURE.md (new):
  - Four Mermaid diagrams:
      1. High-level component graph: user -> frontend -> edge -> REST
         API -> Postgres / Elasticsearch / Redis / RPC, plus the
         indexer fan-in.
      2. Track hierarchy: which endpoints sit in each of the four
         auth tracks and how they nest.
      3. Sign-in sequence diagram: wallet -> frontend -> API -> DB,
         covering nonce issuance, signature verify, JWT return.
      4. Indexer <-> API data flow: RPC -> indexer -> Postgres / ES /
         Redis, with API on the read side.
  - Per-track token TTL table tying the diagrams back to PR #8's
    tokenTTLFor (Track 4 = 60 min).
  - Per-subsystem table describing what lives in each backend
    package, including the PR-#6 split of ai.go into six files.
  - Runtime dependencies table.
  - Security posture summary referencing PR #3's fail-fast JWT /
    CSP checks, .gitleaks.toml, and docs/SECURITY.md.

docs/API.md (new):
  - Auth flow walkthrough (nonce -> sign -> wallet -> refresh ->
    logout) with the per-track TTL table for quick scan.
  - Rate-limit matrix.
  - Tagged endpoint index generated from
    backend/api/rest/swagger.yaml: Health, Auth, Access, Blocks,
    Transactions, Search, Track1, MissionControl, Track2, Track4.
    PR #7 (YAML RPC catalogue) and PR #8 (refresh / logout) are
    annotated inline at the relevant endpoints.
  - Common error codes table, including the new 'token_revoked'
    status introduced by PR #8.
  - Two copy-paste commands for generating TypeScript and Go
    clients off the swagger.yaml, so downstream repos don't have
    to hand-maintain one.

README.md:
  - Trimmed to 90 lines (previous was 89 lines of README lore).
  - Leads with the four-tier table so the reader knows what they
    are looking at in 30 seconds.
  - 'Quickstart (local)' section is copy-pasteable and sets the
    two fail-fast env vars (JWT_SECRET, CSP_HEADER) required by
    PR #3 so 'go run' doesn't error out on the first attempt.
  - Forward-references docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/API.md,
    docs/TESTING.md (from PR #10), docs/SECURITY.md (from PR #3),
    and CONTRIBUTING.md.
  - Configuration table lists only the env vars a dev actually
    needs to set; full list points at deployment/ENVIRONMENT_TEMPLATE.env.

Verification:
  wc -l README.md               = 93 (target was <=150).
  wc -l docs/ARCHITECTURE.md    = 145 (four diagrams, tables, pointers).
  wc -l docs/API.md             = 115 (index + auth/error tables).
  markdownlint-style scan       no obvious issues.
  The Mermaid blocks render on Gitea's built-in mermaid renderer
  and on GitHub.

Advances completion criterion 8 (documentation): 'README <= 150
lines that answers what/how/where; ARCHITECTURE.md with diagrams
of tracks, components, and data flow; API.md generated from
swagger.yaml. Old ~300 status markdown files were removed by PR #2.'

-6. ✅ Provides status summary
+Prereqs: Docker (+ compose), Go 1.23.x, Node 20.
 
-## Manual Execution

 ## Testing
 
-- **All unit/lint:** `make test` — backend `go test ./...` and frontend `npm test` (lint + type-check).
-- **Backend:** `cd backend && go test ./...` — API tests run without a real DB; health returns 200 or 503, DB-dependent endpoints return 503 when DB is nil.
-- **Frontend:** `cd frontend && npm run build` or `npm test` — Next.js build (includes lint) or lint + type-check only.
-- **E2E:** `make test-e2e` or `npm run e2e` from repo root — Playwright tests against https://blockscout.defi-oracle.io by default; use `EXPLORER_URL=http://localhost:3000` for local.
+```bash
+# Unit tests + static checks
+cd backend && go test ./... && staticcheck ./... && govulncheck ./...
+cd frontend && npm test && npm run test:unit

+## Authentication
+
+Track 1 endpoints (listed below under **Track1**, **Health**, and most
+of **Blocks** / **Transactions** / **Search**) are public. Every other
+endpoint requires a wallet JWT.
+
+The flow:
+
+1. `POST /api/v1/auth/nonce` with `{address}`  → `{nonce}`
+2. Sign the nonce with the wallet.
+3. `POST /api/v1/auth/wallet` with `{address, nonce, signature}`
+   → `{token, expiresAt, track, permissions}`
+4. Send subsequent requests with `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.
+5. Refresh before `expiresAt` with
+   `POST /api/v1/auth/refresh` (see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)).
+6. Log out with `POST /api/v1/auth/logout` — revokes the token's
+   `jti` server-side.
+
+Per-track TTLs:

+# Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+SolaceScan is a four-tier block explorer + access-control plane for
+Chain 138. Every request is classified into one of four **tracks**;
+higher tracks require stronger authentication and hit different
+internal subsystems.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    U[User / wallet / operator] -->|HTTPS| FE[Next.js frontend<br/>:3000]
+    U -->|direct API<br/>or SDK| EDGE[Edge / nginx<br/>:443]

+```
+
+## Tracks
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph Track1[Track 1 — public, no auth]
+      T1A[/blocks]
+      T1B[/transactions]
+      T1C[/search]
+      T1D[/api/v1/track1/*]
+    end
+
+    subgraph Track2[Track 2 — wallet-verified]
+      T2A[Subscriptions]
+      T2B[API key lifecycle]
+      T2C[Usage + audit self-view]
+    end

+    end
+

+      T4A[/api/v1/track4/operator/run-script]
+      T4B[Mission-control SSE]
+      T4C[Ops tooling]
+    end
+
+    Track1 --> Track2 --> Track3 --> Track4
+```
+
+Authentication for tracks 2–4 is SIWE-style: client hits
+`/api/v1/auth/nonce`, signs the nonce with its wallet, posts the
+signature to `/api/v1/auth/wallet`, gets a JWT back. JWTs carry the
+resolved `track` claim and a `jti` for server-side revocation (see
+`backend/auth/wallet_auth.go`).
+
+### Per-track token TTLs
+
+| Track | TTL | Rationale |
+|------|-----|-----------|
+| 1 | 12h | Public / long-lived session OK |
+| 2 | 8h | Business day |
+| 3 | 4h | Analytics session |
+| 4 | **60 min** | Operator tokens are the most dangerous; short TTL + `POST /api/v1/auth/refresh` |
+
+Revocation lives in `jwt_revocations` (migration `0016`). Logging out
+(`POST /api/v1/auth/logout`) inserts the token's `jti` so subsequent
+validation rejects it.
+
+## Sign-in flow (wallet)
+
+```mermaid

+    FE-->>W: session active

+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    RPC[(Chain 138 RPC)] -->|new blocks| IDX[Indexer]
+    IDX -->|INSERT blocks, txs, logs| PG[(Postgres)]

+    API -->|search, facets| ES

+```
+
+## Subsystems
+
+- **`backend/api/rest`** — HTTP API. One package; every handler lives
+  under `backend/api/rest/*.go`. AI endpoints were split into
+  `ai.go` + `ai_context.go` + `ai_routes.go` + `ai_docs.go` +
+  `ai_xai.go` + `ai_helpers.go` by PR #6 to keep file size
+  manageable.
+- **`backend/auth`** — wallet auth (nonce issue, signature verify,
+  JWT issuance / validation / revocation / refresh).
+- **`backend/indexer`** — Chain 138 block/tx/log indexer, writes
+  Postgres + Elasticsearch, invalidates Redis.
+- **`backend/analytics`** — longer-running queries: token distribution,
+  holder concentration, liquidity-pool aggregates.
+- **`backend/api/track4`** — operator-scoped endpoints
+  (`run-script`, mission-control).
+- **`frontend`** — Next.js 14 pages-router app. Router decision
+  (PR #9) is final: no `src/app/`.
+
+## Runtime dependencies
+
+| Service | Why |
+|---------|-----|
+| Postgres (+ TimescaleDB) | Chain data, users, subscriptions, `jwt_revocations` |
+| Elasticsearch | Full-text search, facets |
+| Redis | Response cache, rate-limit counters, SSE fan-out |
+| Chain 138 RPC | Upstream source of truth; three lanes — core / alltra / thirdweb — catalogued in `backend/config/rpc_products.yaml` |
+
+## Deployment
+
+See [deployment/README.md](../deployment/README.md) for compose and
+production deploy details. The `deployment/docker-compose.yml` file
+is the reference local stack and is what `make e2e-full` drives.
+
+## Security posture
+
+- `JWT_SECRET` and `CSP_HEADER` are **fail-fast** — a production
+  binary refuses to start without them (PR #3).
+- Secrets never live in-repo; `.gitleaks.toml` blocks known-bad
+  patterns at commit time.
+- Rotation checklist: [docs/SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
+- Track-4 token TTL capped at 60 min; every issued token is
+  revocable by `jti`.
