Reworks the README onto a community-standard spine (checked against the Standard Readme spec and Make a README), leading with what a visitor actually wants: see it, run it, trust it.

Structure: badges + one-line description → what this is (with a features list) → Example flow (the walkthrough) → Running (with your own Hydra as a subsection) → Testing (elevated, framed as a reusable pattern) → Reference (OIDC/custom-claims example, technologies, build config).

Also: cuts the OAuth-101 explanation (offloaded to Ory's docs, as the Ory reference itself does) and the code-to-test navigation table (it just restated the package layout); folds prerequisites into Running; refreshes the stale 2022 OIDC example; removes the dev task list; adds a build-status badge.

Deferred deliberately: a Contributing section and a License section. Contributing is owner's-call content; and the repo currently has no LICENSE file, so the License section can't be written until a license is chosen (worth doing — see PR discussion).

Shows the consent screen as a single hero image, then tucks the full four-step sequence behind a <details> so the reader can click through it without the section dominating the README. Uses the existing stills — no gif or video.

…unning it

Reworks the README onto a community-standard spine (Standard Readme / Make a README): badges + one-line description, what this is, Example flow, Running (requirements, command, then what it loads), Testing (framed as a pattern worth copying), OpenID Connect, and Reference. Cuts the OAuth-101 explanation and the code-to-test navigation table, refreshes the OIDC example, drops the dev task list, and corrects the docker run example to the Hydra version the project actually uses.
