docs: add MIT license, explain reveal mode in README

Add LICENSE file (MIT). Explain in README that reveal mode is a
local display change only — the AI never received the real data.
Reveal exists so users can copy paths/commands from AI responses
and paste them directly into their terminal without manually
translating fake values back to real ones.

### Reveal mode
When reveal mode is on (eye icon or `Alt+Shift+R`), the AI's responses are displayed with your **real data** instead of the fake substitutes. This is purely a local display change — **the AI never received your real data**. It only ever saw the fake names, emails, paths, etc.
This exists so you can easily copy paths, commands, and code from the AI's response and paste them directly into your terminal or editor without manually translating fake values back to real ones.
For example:
- AI responds: `Edit the file at /home/ademo/project/config.yaml`
- With reveal mode ON, you see: `Edit the file at /home/jsmith/project/config.yaml`
- Copy that path, paste into terminal — it works
Toggle it off and the display reverts to the fake data the AI actually received.
