+# P7-T12 — Move Cursor IDE uvx Settings Before Installation Instructions in README
+
+**Priority:** P1
+**Phase:** Phase 7: Documentation
+**Dependencies:** P7-T10
+
+## Objective
+
+Reorder README.md so the Cursor IDE uvx configuration (basic and Web UI variants) appears before the Installation section. Cursor is the primary target client, and most users only need to paste a JSON block into `~/.cursor/mcp.json` — they shouldn't have to scroll through five installation options first.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. The Cursor uvx basic `mcp.json` snippet is visible in the README before the "### Installation" heading.
+2. The Cursor uvx-with-Web-UI `mcp.json` snippet (`--web-ui`, `--web-ui-port 8080`) is shown alongside the basic snippet.
+3. All other README content (installation options, other client configs, usage, etc.) remains intact and in a logical order.
+4. No broken markdown links, formatting issues, or content loss.
+5. The Configuration > Cursor section no longer duplicates the uvx snippets that were moved up (but retains manual / venv options).
+
+## Plan
+
+### Phase A: Extract and Relocate
+
+1. **Create a new section** between "Quick Start > Prerequisites / Python Environment" and "### Installation" titled something like "### Cursor Quick Setup (Recommended)" or similar.
+2. **Move** the two Cursor uvx snippets (basic + Web UI) into this new section, with brief instructions to paste into `~/.cursor/mcp.json`.
+3. **Remove** the "Using uvx (Recommended)" and "Using uvx with Web UI" entries from the Configuration > Cursor subsection to avoid duplication.
+4. **Add a note** in Configuration > Cursor referencing the Quick Setup section above for uvx users.
+
+### Phase B: Validate
+
+1. Review the entire README top-to-bottom for logical flow.
+2. Check that no markdown anchors or cross-references are broken.
+3. Run quality gates (pytest, ruff, mypy) to ensure no code was accidentally affected.
+
+## Affected Files
+
+- `README.md` — section reorder
+
+## Notes
+
+- No code changes required; documentation-only task.
+- Other client configurations (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Zed, Kimi) stay in the Configuration section unchanged.
+- The full Cursor subsection (manual install, venv options) remains in Configuration for users who need it.

+# P7-T12 Validation Report
+
+**Task:** Move Cursor IDE uvx settings before installation instructions in README
+**Date:** 2026-02-12
+**Verdict:** PASS
+
+## Changes Made
+
+1. **Added new "Cursor Quick Setup" section** (lines 66-101) between Prerequisites and Installation in README.md. Contains:
+   - Basic uvx `mcp.json` snippet
+   - uvx-with-Web-UI `mcp.json` snippet (`--web-ui`, `--web-ui-port 8080`)
+   - Brief intro text and "restart Cursor" CTA
+
+2. **Replaced duplicated uvx entries** in Configuration > Cursor with a cross-reference link: `For **uvx** setup (recommended), see [Cursor Quick Setup](#cursor-quick-setup) above.`
+
+3. **Preserved** all manual installation, venv, and Web UI options in the Configuration > Cursor subsection.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Verification
+
+| Criterion | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Cursor uvx basic snippet visible before "### Installation" heading | PASS — lines 70-78 |
+| Cursor uvx-with-Web-UI snippet shown alongside basic snippet | PASS — lines 83-98 |
+| All other README content intact and in logical order | PASS — no content removed, order preserved |
+| No broken markdown links or formatting issues | PASS — verified top-to-bottom |
+| No duplicate uvx snippets in Configuration > Cursor | PASS — replaced with cross-reference |
+
+## Quality Gate Results

+| ruff check src/ | All checks passed |
+| mypy src/ | Success: no issues found in 12 source files |

+## REVIEW REPORT — P7-T12 Cursor Quick Setup
+
+**Scope:** 6 commits on `claude/reorder-readme-sections-eEEGI`
+**Files:** 1 code file (README.md), plus workflow artifacts (Workplan, next.md, PRD, validation report, INDEX.md)
+
+### Summary Verdict
+- [x] Approve
+
+### Critical Issues
+None.
+
+### Secondary Issues
+None.
+
+### Architectural Notes
+- The new "Cursor Quick Setup" section sits at the ideal position: after prerequisites (so the user knows about Xcode MCP toggle) but before the five installation options. This mirrors the common "TL;DR" pattern in popular open-source README files.
+- Cross-reference link `[Cursor Quick Setup](#cursor-quick-setup)` in Configuration > Cursor avoids content duplication while keeping the Configuration section navigable for manual/venv users.
+- No code changes; documentation-only, so no risk of regression.
+
+### Tests
+- All 296 tests pass (9 skipped, as before).
+- Coverage unaffected (documentation-only change).
+- ruff and mypy clean.
+
+### Next Steps
+- No follow-up tasks required. The change is self-contained and complete.

+- **Description:** Reorder the README.md so that the Cursor IDE uvx configuration snippet (currently under Configuration > Cursor > "Using uvx (Recommended)") appears before the Installation section. This gives Cursor users the fastest path to getting started — they only need to paste the JSON block into `~/.cursor/mcp.json` and they're done, without scrolling through five installation options first. Include both the basic uvx snippet and the uvx-with-Web-UI variant (`--web-ui`, `--web-ui-port 8080`) so users can choose either option up front.
