Research direction

The issue is in README.md, in the 'Repository Structure' collapsible section. Locate the tree generation script or the markdown section that lists directories. Add 'brag-output/' to the list, following the same pattern as other summarized directories like 'results/figures/'. Verify the change by checking the rendered README and ensuring the directory is now included.

Description

documentation good first issue

Where: README.md, the "Show the full directory tree →" collapsible section.

The gap: The tree lists every top-level file and directory in the repo (.github/, each audit folder, notebooks/, faircode/, tests/, results/, paper/, scripts/, explainers/, assets/, and the loose root files) but never mentions brag-output/, a real, currently-tracked directory containing 41 files (a rendered video, images, composition assets, fonts, SFX/music) that is genuinely part of the pushed repository, not local-only clutter:

$ git log --oneline -1 origin/main -- brag-output
04d5167 Added fair Code video

$ git ls-tree -r origin/main --name-only | grep -c "^brag-output/"
41

$ grep -n "brag-output\|brag" README.md
(no output - zero mentions)

This is the same bug class as the already-fixed #669 (repo-tree missing existing files like faircode/provenance.py and 9 test files), recurring for a directory added since.

Fix direction: Add a brag-output/ entry to the tree (collapsed/summarized the way results/figures/*.png and paper/results-frozen/figures/*.png already are), or, if it's considered out-of-scope generated marketing content that shouldn't be documented as part of the project's structure, note that exclusion explicitly rather than silently omitting a real, 41-file tracked directory from a section that claims completeness.
