The README previously mixed client examples, overlapping compatibility summaries, and release commands that required manually choosing a version and platform. It now links every data tool to a setup guide and installs the latest published release by default.

• Add a shared prerequisites/sample-data guide and individual guides for Python, Go, Java, JDBC applications, pandas, Polars, DuckDB, R, Tableau, Metabase, Power BI, and Redis Insight; reuse the existing DBeaver and version-specific Superset guides. Preserve recorded validation scope, blockers, and untested paths.
• Remove the README client examples and separate tested-coverage/feature sections, retaining a concise capability overview and links to the compatibility and protocol references. Repair links to removed sections.
• Use Docker :latest with --pull=always; detect the binary platform, resolve the latest release tag, and verify the archive checksum before starting the server.

Validation: local Markdown links and anchors checked across 18 files; all 14 README tool links verified; README shell and Python snippet syntax checked; Go example compiled; git diff --check passed. Java compilation could not run because no JDK is installed. No integration suites or application tests were rerun, and no new compatibility passes are claimed.

The latest-release metadata identified v0.1.0, but its download assets had not yet been attached when checked. The install section explains artifact publication and the source-build fallback; release installation was not exercised end to end.
