Pull request overview
This PR addresses user confusion about workspace creation by adding a new "Understanding Workspaces" section to the README. The issue arose because users expected to create workspaces within Gennie-X itself, but the tool actually discovers existing workspaces from AI coding agents' local storage (VS Code/Cursor/Claude Code). This fundamental concept was not explicitly documented, leading to confusion when users encountered empty workspace lists.
Changes:
- Added "Understanding Workspaces" section positioned immediately after Installation and before Basic Usage
- Explicitly states that Gennie-X discovers (not creates) workspaces from AI agent local storage
- Provides a clear 4-step workflow for users to ensure workspaces are available

Users expected to create workspaces in the application itself, but Gennie-X discovers existing workspaces from AI agent local storage (VS Code/Cursor/Claude Code). This fundamental concept was not explicitly stated.
Changes
The section appears immediately after Installation, establishing the discovery model before users attempt to use the tool.
