+The parameter tables are inferred from the requests the application
+**accepted**: two passing tests sent `"active"` and `"passive"`, a third sent
+`"inactive"` and got a `422`, so the documentation lists the two values that
+work and keeps the rejection only as a response example. The same run also
+writes a runnable `curl/api/v2/customers/create.sh` and a Postman collection
+with this request and its three saved responses.
+
+## Examples
+
+Two runnable examples live in [`examples/`](examples):
+
+| Example | Test framework | What it shows |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| [`examples/test-app`](examples/test-app) | Minitest | three small resources: auth, closed value sets, PATCH/PUT folding, a member action |
+| [`examples/spec-app`](examples/spec-app) | RSpec | the same API, documented from request specs |
+| [`examples/complex-test-app`](examples/complex-test-app) | Minitest | a store API: products, cart, orders, nested notes, array bodies, `filter[category]`, a form login, `X-Api-Key` admin namespace, two API versions, 400/403/404/409 |
+| [`examples/complex-spec-app`](examples/complex-spec-app) | RSpec | the store API from request specs |
+
+Each one ships the documentation it generates, so you can read the output
+before running anything. [`examples/reqcord.yml`](examples/reqcord.yml) is an
+annotated configuration file.
+
 ## Core Idea
 
 Reqcord separates **capturing API behavior** from **rendering documentation**.

+`reqcord:generate` runs the test suite itself, in a subprocess, with capture
+enabled:
+
+```text
+bin/rails reqcord:generate
+        |
+        +-- collects the application's routes
+        |
+        +-- runs `test.command` with REQCORD_CAPTURE=1

+        |          +-- each request appends a JSON line to the capture file
+        |
+        +-- reads the capture file, sanitizes, writes the documentation
+```
+
+Because capture is driven by `REQCORD_CAPTURE` and `REQCORD_CAPTURE_FILE`, an
+ordinary `bin/rails test` patches nothing and writes nothing. The capture file
+is append-only and locked per write, so parallel test workers can share it.
+
+Point Reqcord at the tests that exercise the API — a directory is enough, it
+picks the runner (`bin/rails test`, `rspec`, or a plain Ruby runner when the
+project has no `bin/rails`):
+
+```yaml
+test:
+  framework: minitest
+  paths:
+    - test/integration
+    - test/api
+```
+
+Or spell the command out; it wins over `paths`, and globs are expanded:
+
+```yaml
+test:
+  command: bin/rails test test/integration test/api/*_test.rb
+```
+
+The run ends with a reconciliation of the whole route table, so nothing can
+go missing quietly:
+
+```text
+[reqcord] captured 87 request(s), 85 matched a documented route
+[reqcord] captured a successful 2xx request for 15 of 16 endpoint(s)
+[reqcord] routes: 18 = 15 documented + 1 uncovered + 2 skipped
+[reqcord] skipped 2 route(s) that cannot be documented: 1 redirect, 1 mount
+```
+
+Every route is in exactly one bucket: *documented* (a test got a `2xx`),
+*uncovered* (listed in the index, no page), or *skipped* with its reason.
+

+## Route coverage

+The documented surface is the route table, not only `resources`. These all
+become endpoints:
 
-Markdown files are generated from that dataset.
+| Route | Documented as |
+| --- | --- |
+| `resources :customers` | one endpoint per action |
+| `resource :cart` | `GET /cart`, `PATCH /cart` (also `PUT`) |
+| `match "/echo", via: [:get, :post]` | `GET /echo` and `POST /echo` |
+| `match "/anything", via: :all` | one endpoint per verb the tests used |
+| `root to: "home#index"` | `GET /`, titled "Home" |
+| `get "/items(/:id)"` | one endpoint, `:id` optional |
+| `get "/files/*path"` | `path` as a path parameter |
+| `mount Billing => "/billing"` | the engine's own routes, under `/billing` |
+| `namespace :admin { resources :customers }` | `admin/customers/`, apart from `api/v2/customers/` |
+
+`redirect(...)` routes and plain Rack mounts cannot be documented from a test;
+they are counted as *skipped* in the report rather than dropped.
+
+## Postman and Hoppscotch
+
+`postman/collection.json` is a Postman Collection v2.1:
+
+* one folder per controller namespace (`Api › V2 › Customers`),
+* one request per documented endpoint, built from the successful captured
+  example — JSON bodies as `raw`, form bodies as `urlencoded`,
+* every captured status saved as a response example on that request,
+* collection variables for `base_url` and every placeholder the sanitizer
+  wrote (`{{token}}`, `{{api_key}}` …) — Postman's variable syntax is the
+  same, so the collection is usable as soon as the variables are filled in,
+* `Authorization: Bearer {{token}}` lifted to collection-level bearer auth;
+  requests that were made without credentials are marked `noauth`, so they
+  replay exactly as their tests did.
+
+Hoppscotch imports Postman v2.1 collections directly: *Import → Postman* and
+point it at the same file.
