Second conciseness pass per review feedback: bullets and tables over prose (vendor-SDK failings, repo layout, sim models, kernel-port rationale, QEMU scenarios), duplicated content cut (provenance pointer, scenario prose the qemu README already carries). Also fixes two stale claims in architecture.md: the flared seam unification and real-image boot both landed (flare-edge #110, PR #8) but were still marked pending.
The Kernel Patch Series
The delta that forward-ports the vendor Rockchip 5.10.160 RV1106 support onto a
pristine upstream linux-6.18.46, as a reviewable, subsystem-split series. Every
patch applies cleanly onto pristine 6.18.46 (git apply --check), and the whole set
reproduces the 223-file / ~136K-line delta that boots and is hardware-verified on
warden-c8a3 (see ../kernel/rv1106-enablement/).
Build it with ../build/build-kernel.sh (fetch pristine → apply these → configure
with ../build/warden_defconfig → zImage + rv1106-warden.dtb).

Provenance & regeneration
Baseline: linux-6.18.46 from kernel.org (build/linux-6.18.46.tar.xz.sha256
pins the tarball). The series was generated by overlaying the hardware-verified
source tree onto pristine (build artifacts excluded) and splitting git diff by
subsystem. Licensing/origin of each block is tracked in
../kernel/rv1106-enablement/PROVENANCE.md.
Whitespace: 60-wifi-aic8800.patch carries the vendor blob's trailing-whitespace
verbatim; git apply --whitespace=nowarn (the build wrapper) accepts it. Do not
re-flow vendor code — it must stay diffable against future vendor drops.
