Put the search phrase people actually use in the headline and hero alt text, shorten the download steps, move setup caveats into a collapsible section, mention OpenRouter, and link the website's open-source comparison page.

What does this change?
Rewrites the top of the README for search and first-visit conversion:
Why?
Cutawan doesn't currently match the "open source Opus Clip alternative" search on GitHub or Google, and the first screen of the README was mostly caveats.
Release notes
None (README only; CI's release-notes check skips non-
src/changes).How did you test it?
npm test(not needed, README only)npm run typechecknpm run lintAnything to watch out for?
Repo description and topics also need updating, which can't be done from a PR. Suggested values are in the session summary.

Overview
README positioning and first-screen copy are reworked so the project leads with “free, open-source Opus Clip alternative” in the hero alt text and main headline, with clearer value props (TikTok/Reels/Shorts, no Docker/watermark/per-minute credits) and a short star CTA under the badges.
The Download and get started section is tightened to three bullets; ChatGPT/Codex, unsigned macOS, and pre-v0.10 wizard caveats move into a collapsible Setup notes block (same substance, less above the fold). The Opus Clip comparison now highlights OpenRouter, adds a paragraph contrasting other open-source clippers (Docker/scripts vs desktop installer) with a link to the site comparison page, and updates the models row accordingly.
