+本文件不再复制一份独立的产品说明，也不代表上游 `deepseek-harness` 项目的 README；上游项目的文档位于固定的 [`deepseek-harness/`](deepseek-harness/) 子模块中。

 ## How the README files are organized
 
-The outer repository has two reader-facing product READMEs:
+The outer repository has two formal product READMEs plus one legacy compatibility entry:
 
 - [`README.md`](../README.md): the Chinese product entry point.
 - [`README.en.md`](../README.en.md): the English product entry point with the same product scope.
+- [`README.zh.md`](../README.zh.md): a legacy Chinese-path compatibility page with no independent content.
 
-`README.i18n.yaml` records the bilingual blob hashes for those two entry points; it is not a user guide. `dsh-plugin-desktop/README.md` and `README.zh.md` ship with the npm package and are the more technical package reference. `dsh-plugin-desktop/docs/` contains stable API contracts rather than marketing copy. `.agents/notes/implemented/` contains dated maintainer decision records and does not replace user documentation.

 `deepseek-harness/` is the pinned upstream submodule. Its README and `docs/` belong to the upstream project, not to the Desktop product, and are excluded from the outer documentation inventory.

 ## README 文件怎么分工
 
-目前外层仓库只有两份面向读者的产品 README：
+目前外层仓库有两份正式的产品 README，另保留一个旧链接兼容入口：
 
 - [`README.md`](../README.md)：中文产品入口。
 - [`README.en.md`](../README.en.md)：英文产品入口，与中文 README 保持同一产品范围。
+- [`README.zh.md`](../README.zh.md)：旧中文路径的兼容页，不维护独立内容。
 
-`README.i18n.yaml` 只记录这两个入口的双语 hash，不是用户指南。`dsh-plugin-desktop/README.md` 和 `README.zh.md` 是 npm 包随包发布的包级参考；它们比根 README 更技术化。`dsh-plugin-desktop/docs/` 是稳定 API 合同，不是营销页。`.agents/notes/implemented/` 是日期化的维护者决策记录，适合追溯取舍，不替代用户文档。

 `deepseek-harness/` 是固定版本的官方上游子模块。它自己的 README 和 `docs/` 属于上游项目，不能当作 Desktop 文档，也不在本仓库的产品文档统计中。
