Summary of Changes

Closes #131

This PR resolves the contradiction identified in #131 regarding private spending policy maturity between the Scope, stated honestly section and the Roadmap section in README.md.

Key Clarifications:

  • Contract Reality vs ZK Roadmap: Accurately highlights that CleverVault (contracts/agent-vault/src/lib.rs) already implements proof-gated release hooks (create_task_with_policy, release_payment_proved), while full zero-knowledge policy verification is actively being integrated with the external CipherMit engine on testnet.
  • Synchronized Sections:
    • What it is: Clarified that privacy differentiation hooks are built into the vault contract with active ZK engine integration underway.
    • Scope, stated honestly: Explicitly stated that while the contract hooks exist, live ZK enforcement with CipherMit is on the near-term roadmap.
    • How it works & How you use it: Aligned policy setup language with the upcoming privacy integration.
    • What runs today & Roadmap: Noted CleverVault's proof-gated release hooks in current testnet contract capabilities, harmonizing the roadmap item pointing to ROADMAP.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified CleverCon’s key differentiators, including private policy enforcement and a live marketplace.
    • Added a concise four-step usage overview.
    • Clarified that spending components operate only as delegates.
    • Documented implemented contracts, dApp, marketplace, orchestrator, payments, recognition, and roadmap items.
    • Noted that live zero-knowledge enforcement is still being integrated.

1. Connect a wallet and deposit USDC into CleverVault, a non-custodial contract.
2. Set your spending rules: a total budget, and (via the upcoming private policy integration) optional per-payment caps and payee allowlists kept private.
3. Spend, at whatever complexity the job needs (see "How you use it"). A delegate pays services in USDC, and the vault checks every release against your rules.
4. The vault caps spending and refunds the rest. You can withdraw anytime. The platform never holds your money.

Remove the duplicate “How it works” sequence.

The four-step overview repeats the workflow in the five-step sequence immediately below it. Keep the detailed sequence to avoid presenting two numbered workflows.

Use the current v1 binding-proof status in both steps.

The README documents private policies as active through the v1 binding-proof verifier. The full CipherMit-backed zero-knowledge verifier remains a roadmap item. Use the same current-status wording in both locations.

Remove completed components from the roadmap sentence.

The README lists the on-chain registry, SDK, and MCP server as roadmap items, but later identifies them as available today. Keep only the remaining CipherMit integration.
