chore: Update dependencies, normalize code style, and overhaul documentation

This commit consolidates maintenance tasks including dependency updates, code formatting standardization, and documentation improvements.

- **Dependencies**: Updated `Cargo.toml` to use the latest versions of key crates, including `tokio` (v1.49.0), `clap` (v4.5.54), `git2` (v0.20.3), `regex` (v1.12.2), and `toml` (v0.9.10). Also bumped the `actions/checkout` GitHub Action to v6.0.1.
- **Code Style**: Standardized formatting across the `Source/` directory. This involved removing spaces before colons in type annotations (e.g., `x: Type` -> `x:Type`) and compacting struct/function definitions in `Fn` and `Struct` modules to adhere to a consistent style.
- **Documentation**: Completely restructured `README.md`. Added performance benchmark tables, clarified feature descriptions, expanded installation instructions, and added a detailed dependencies section.

-# `Summary` 🗣️
+# [Summary] 🗣️ (`psummary`)
 
 [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/psummary.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/psummary)
 
-`Summary` is a powerful command-line tool that recursively scans directories for
-Git repositories and generates concise summaries of the changes within them. It
-intelligently creates diffs between tags or, for untagged repositories, between
-the first and last commits.
+`Summary` is a blazingly fast, concurrent tool for generating comprehensive
+change summaries across multiple Git repositories. It automatically analyzes tag
+history and produces clean diffs between releases or from commit to commit.
 
-It's designed for developers who want a quick overview of progress across
-multiple projects, helping to generate release notes, track changes, or analyze
-development history efficiently.
+Built for developers who need to understand project evolution at scale,
+`Summary` leverages Rust's async runtime and parallel processing to scan
+hundreds of repositories in seconds.
 
-```sh
-# Analyze all git repositories in the current directory and save the output
-psummary -P > change_summary.txt
-```
+[Summary]: https://crates.io/crates/psummary
 
-### Key Functionality
-
-`Summary` operates with the following logic:
-
-1.  **Repository Discovery:** It walks the specified directory tree (defaulting
-    to the current location) and identifies all Git repositories by looking for
-    `.git` folders.
-2.  **Tag Analysis:** For each repository, it inspects the existing tags and
-    sorts them chronologically.
-3.  **Diff Generation:**
-    - **If tags are present:** It generates a diff for each period between
-      consecutive tags (e.g., `v1.0.0` -> `v1.1.0`). It also creates a summary
-      from the latest tag to the current `HEAD`.
-    - **If no tags exist:** It generates a single, comprehensive diff from the
-      very first commit to the final commit in the repository.
-4.  **Intelligent Filtering:** It automatically excludes numerous binary file
-    types from the diffs and allows for custom exclusion of directories and file
-    patterns.
-5.  **Grouped Output:** The final output groups all changes by their respective
-    repository and commit/tag range, providing a clean, organized report.
-
-## ✨ Features
-
-- **Recursive Git Repository Discovery:** Automatically find and analyze all
-  repositories within a given path.
-- **Automatic Change Summarization:** Generates diffs between consecutive tags
-  and from the last tag to `HEAD`.
-- **Parallel Processing:** Utilizes multiple CPU cores to analyze repositories
-  in parallel for maximum speed (`-P` flag).
-- **Flexible Directory Filtering:** Exclude specific directories like
-  `node_modules` or `target` from the initial scan.
-- **Regex-Based File Omission:** Use regular expressions to omit certain files
-  (e.g., `*.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`) from the diff generation.
-- **Smart Binary Exclusion:** By default, ignores common binary file extensions
-  (`.png`, `.zip`, `.exe`, etc.) to keep summaries focused on source code.
-- **Cross-Platform:** Built with Rust, it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
-
-## 🚀 Installation
-
-You can install `Summary` directly from `crates.io` using `cargo`.

+A tool to recursively find Git repositories and summarize changes between tags.
 
-### Option Details
+Usage: psummary [OPTIONS]
 
-- `--Parallel` or `-P`: Enables multi-threaded processing. This is highly
-  recommended when scanning a directory with many repositories.
-- `--Root` or `-R`: Specifies the starting directory for the scan. If not
-  provided, it defaults to the current working directory.
-- `--Exclude` or `-E`: Prevents the tool from scanning any directory whose path
-  contains one of the specified strings. The default value is `node_modules`. To
-  exclude multiple directories, wrap them in quotes:
-  `-E "node_modules target dist"`.
-- `--Omit` or `-O`: This powerful option uses regular expressions to filter out
-  files _from the diff summary_. It can be specified multiple times. For
-  example, to ignore all Markdown and text files, you would use
-  `-O "\.md$" -O "\.txt$"`.
+Options:
+  -P, --Parallel           Run analysis in parallel across multiple repositories
+  -R, --Root <ROOT>        The root directory to start scanning from [default: .]
+  -E, --Exclude <EXCLUDE>  A space-separated list of directory names to exclude
+                           [default: node_modules]
+      --Pattern <PATTERN>  The pattern to look for when identifying project roots
+                           [default: .git]
+  -O, --Omit <OMIT>        A regex pattern to omit files from the diff summary.
+                           Can be used multiple times [default: (?i)documentation (?i)target (?i)changelog\.md$ (?i)summary\.md$]
+  -h, --help               Print help information
+  -V, --version            Print version information
+```
 
-## 💡 Examples
+### Basic Examples
 
-#### 1. Analyze All Repositories in the Current Directory
+**1. Summarize all repositories in current directory**
 
-Run a parallel scan on the current folder and print the output to the console.
+Finds every `.git` folder recursively and prints diffs between tags and HEAD.
 
 ```sh
 psummary -P
 ```
 
-#### 2. Analyze a Specific Development Folder and Save to a File
-
-Scan a folder named `~/dev/projects` and save the complete summary to
-`summary.diff`.
+**2. Scan a specific projects folder and save output**
 
 ```sh
-psummary -P -R ~/dev/projects > summary.diff
+psummary -P -R ~/dev/projects > all_changes.diff
 ```
 
-#### 3. Exclude Multiple Directory Names
-
-Scan the current directory but ignore any paths containing `node_modules`,
-`target`, or `vendor`.
+**3. Exclude common build directories**
 
 ```sh
-psummary -P -E "node_modules target vendor"
+psummary -P -E "node_modules target dist vendor"
 ```
 
-#### 4. Omit Specific File Patterns from Diffs
+### Advanced Options
 
-Analyze all repositories but exclude any changes to lock files (`*.lock`),
-Markdown files (`*.md`), and build artifacts in a `dist` directory from the
-summaries.
+- **`-O, --Omit <PATTERN>`**: Exclude files matching regex from diffs. Specify
+  multiple times for complex filters.
 
-```sh
-psummary -P -O ".*\.lock$" -O "\.md$" -O "/dist/"
-```
+    ```sh
+    # Skip lock files, docs, and build artifacts
+    psummary -P -O ".*\.lock$" -O "\.md$" -O "/dist/"
+    ```
+
+- **`--Pattern <PATTERN>`**: Match different repository markers (e.g., looking
+  for `.hg` or custom markers).
+
+- **`-P` vs sequential**: Omit `-P` for deterministic sequential execution
+  (useful for debugging or low-memory environments).
+
