Install is the two marketplace commands and nothing else. Drops the copy-burnrate.py opening, the direct-python command block, the skill-helper-from-a-clone block and the verify-a-copy section. Troubleshooting no longer tells a plugin user to pass flags they cannot type. The logger extra keeps its clone.

The README opened with "copy burnrate.py anywhere and run it" and offered
three ways in, two of which needed a clone. That is not how anyone is meant
to get this: the marketplace install carries the tool with it.

Install is now the two plugin commands and nothing else. Running it is the
/burnrate word and question forms. The direct-python and skill-helper
sections are gone, and the duplicate install block under the old
"/burnrate skill" heading collapses into "Updating, disabling and removing".

Troubleshooting no longer tells a plugin user to pass flags they have no
way to type, the report location now names the cache directory instead of
"next to burnrate.py", and the flags table says up front that it exists to
give the window words a precise meaning.

The logger extra keeps its clone, since you run that installer yourself.
It ran tools/selftest.py, which only means anything to someone who cloned
the repo. That belongs with the contributor docs, not in a README whose
install path is a plugin.
