Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): reframe intro + list all 25 supported providers
Kigi started as an unofficial Kimi Code CLI community build; by request it
now works with 25 providers. Replace the stale three-platform table with the
full supported list (Kimi Code OAuth + 24 API-key providers, each with its
platform id and env var). Unsupported/not-yet-built providers are omitted.

## Providers and API keys
-Kigi talks to a fixed three-platform registry:
+Kigi ships a fixed registry of 25 platforms: the Kimi Code subscription plus
+24 API-key providers. There is no dynamic provider registration; each is a
+compiled-in spec.
-| Platform id | Base URL | Auth |
-| ------------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
-| `kimi-code` | `https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1` | Kimi Code subscription OAuth (`kigi login`) |
-| `moonshot-cn` | `https://api.moonshot.cn/v1` | Moonshot open-platform API key |
-| `moonshot-ai` | `https://api.moonshot.ai/v1` | Moonshot open-platform API key |
+**Kimi Code** (the original target) uses subscription OAuth, not an API key:
-Moonshot API keys come from the environment or `~/.kigi/config.toml`
-(environment wins; values are never logged):
+| Platform id | Base URL | Auth |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |

+
+**API-key providers.** Set the provider's env var, or put the key in
+`~/.kigi/config.toml` under `[platforms.]`. The environment wins, a
+platform-scoped name beats a generic one, and keys are never logged.

On login and on startup Kigi syncs each configured platform's model list
from `GET {base}/models` and shows the merged catalog in the model picker
-(catalog keys are `{platform_id}/{model_id}`). Models that advertise
-selectable thinking levels (e.g. K3's `low`/`high`/`max`) expose them in
-`/model` and `/effort`. If the sync fails, the last cached catalog is used;
-with no cache, a small built-in fallback list applies. Model selection
+(catalog keys are `{platform_id}/{model_id}`). Model metadata (context
+window, thinking levels) comes from the live listing when the provider
+serves it, otherwise from a bundled models.dev snapshot. Models that
+advertise selectable thinking levels (e.g. K3's `low`/`high`/`max`) expose
+them in `/model` and `/effort`. If the sync fails, the last cached catalog is
+used; with no cache, a small built-in fallback list applies. Model selection
resolves as `--model` CLI flag > `KIGI_DEFAULT_MODEL` > `[models] default`
in config.toml > server-delivered list > built-in fallback.
-`KIGI_CODE_BASE_URL` re-points the subscription platform (useful for
-testing); `KIGI_MOONSHOT_CN_BASE_URL` / `KIGI_MOONSHOT_AI_BASE_URL` are the
-equivalent dev/test overrides for the open platforms.
+Each platform's base URL can be re-pointed for dev/test with
+`KIGI__BASE_URL` (e.g. `KIGI_CODE_BASE_URL`,
+`KIGI_MOONSHOT_CN_BASE_URL`, `KIGI_OPENAI_BASE_URL`).
The web `search`/`fetch` tools ride the Kimi Code subscription services and
