WalkthroughThe README.md file was extensively rewritten and condensed. The update replaces the original, detailed documentation with a much shorter version that provides a concise overview of Ably.js features, a simplified environments table, basic installation instructions, and a quick start link. Most detailed usage examples, advanced topics, and in-depth API documentation were removed. The troubleshooting section was reorganized and shortened, focusing on environment-specific issues. Contribution, support, and changelog sections were reduced to brief placeholders linking to external resources. No changes were made to any code or exported entities. Changes

1-12: Refine feature list capitalization and engagement: For consistency, capitalize each feature uniformly (e.g., "Message History" instead of "Message history", "Push Notifications" instead of "Push notifications").

[warning] 1-1: Prettier formatting check failed. Run 'prettier --write' to fix code style issues.
21-38: Improve readability of the environments table: The "Node.js" entry combines version compatibility and bundling notes in one cell, which can be hard to scan. Consider splitting it into sub-bullets or separate "Supported Versions" / "Bundling Notes" columns for clarity.
43-57: Expand installation options: Consider adding alternative package manager commands (e.g.,yarn add ably,pnpm add ably) and noting that only CommonJS (require('ably')) is supported in the current ESM-less bundle. This will cater to more users.
60-65: Use a version-agnostic CDN link: Rather than hardcodingably.min-2.js, point to the latest stable release (e.g.,https://cdn.ably.com/lib/ably.min.js), or instruct users to replacex.y.zwith their desired version. This helps ensure they pick up patches.
68-75: Enhance Quick Start with an embedded snippet: Rather than only linking out, include a brief code snippet (e.g., initialize a client and publish a message) directly under the Quick Start heading. This gives users an immediate hands-on example.
80-97: Clarify JSON snippet placeholders: The use of...in the manifest.json example may confuse readers. Replace ellipses with a realistic key-value (e.g.,"name": "Your Extension",) or add a note indicating that...stands for other properties.
124-126: Refine wording for clarity: Simplify by removing "of": change"outside of the component"to"outside the component".
