Pull request overview
This PR attempts to update the Clarity Formatter documentation, but the changes introduce severe markdown formatting issues that render the document broken and unreadable. The update removes all markdown syntax including heading symbols (#), bullet points, code block delimiters, and table formatting, converting what was a properly formatted documentation file into plain text that will not render correctly.
Changes:
- Removed all markdown heading symbols (# and ##) from section headers
- Eliminated all code block delimiters (triple backticks) causing code examples to display incorrectly
- Stripped table pipe delimiters making comparison and CLI options tables unreadable
- Added new content including CLI options table, additional resources section, and important notes section
- Added an inappropriate editorial note at the beginning of the document

The heading syntax is missing the markdown hash symbols. It should be "### Clarity VS Code Extension" to maintain proper heading hierarchy (as a subsection under Integration points).

The table formatting is broken. This line appears to be a table that has lost all markdown pipe delimiters (|), making it unreadable. The table should use proper markdown table syntax with pipes separating columns and header/body separator rows.

The code block markdown syntax is broken. Code blocks should be surrounded by triple backticks (```) with the language identifier on its own line. This line has "clarity" concatenated directly with the opening backticks and code, making it invalid markdown.

The heading syntax is missing the markdown hash symbols. It should be "### Tuples and maps" to maintain proper heading hierarchy (as a subsection under Formatting rules in detail).

The bullet point formatting has been removed. These lines should use markdown list syntax with asterisks (*) or dashes (-) to create proper bullet points for better readability.
