What

Make installing RiskKernel a genuine one-liner on both surfaces.

  • CLI: add the no-clone install — go install github.com/prashar32/riskkernel/cmd/riskkernel@latest — to the README quickstart. It previously showed only go build -o … ./cmd/riskkernel, which assumes you've cloned the repo.
  • SDK: the SDK README still said pip install riskkernel, but the package isn't on PyPI yet — copy-pasting it fails. Point it at the install-from-source command, matching the main README. (PyPI publish stays on the roadmap.)

Why

Adoption friction is the thing that kills a self-hosted runtime. The README is the conversion asset; the install commands in it have to actually work when pasted. The go build form needs a checkout, and the stale pip install riskkernel line errors out — both are friction for a first-time user.

Notes

Docs only — no code or behavior change. go install …@latest verified to produce a working riskkernel binary in GOBIN; the from-source pip command is the same one the main README and examples/codebase-qa already use.

The CLI now has a copy-paste one-liner that needs no clone:
`go install github.com/prashar32/riskkernel/cmd/riskkernel@latest`. The README
showed only `go build`, which assumes a checkout.

Also corrects the SDK README, which still read `pip install riskkernel` — the
package isn't on PyPI yet, so install-from-source is the right one-liner,
matching the main README.
