Computer Use is useful when explicitly needed, but exposing its MCP tools by default creates unnecessary desktop-control surface for users who want coding-only sessions. This adds a shared disable path for CLI flags, environment, and desktop settings while keeping preauthorized app state in one config file.
The same change also preserves Windows and WSL shell startup behavior by applying the MSYS argument-conversion guard only on WSL-bound launches.
Constraint: Computer Use MCP must not be exposed to the Coding Agent when disabled
Constraint: Desktop settings and CLI sessions need to read the same persisted Computer Use config
Rejected: Environment-only disable switch | desktop users need a persistent Settings control
Rejected: Remove Computer Use setup entirely | enabled sessions still need the existing built-in MCP path
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep every new Computer Use entrypoint wired through loadStoredComputerUseConfig or the CLI disable flag before adding MCP tools

Add GitHub-compatible slugify (github-slugger algorithm) to VitePress
config so heading anchor IDs are consistent across both platforms.
Update all inline anchor links in 22 doc files accordingly.
- Add Computer Use architecture deep dive documentation (CN/EN)
with 4 generated diagrams (architecture, security gates,
Python Bridge, patch environment comparison)
- Move Computer Use section below Skills in sidebar and README
- Fix 153 broken anchor links across 18 documentation files:
- CN docs: add missing `、` after Chinese numeral prefixes
- EN docs: add missing `_` prefix for number-starting heading IDs
- Fix em-dash and special character encoding in anchor hrefs
- Slim down README from ~400 lines to ~140 lines, keeping only essential content
- Reorganize docs/ into guide/, features/, reference/, images/ subdirectories
- Add GitHub badges (stars, forks, issues, PRs, license, language switch)
- Extract env vars, FAQ, fixes, project structure, global usage into separate docs
- Add LICENSE file (educational and research use only)
- Update all cross-references and issue template links
