 # Sauce documentation
 
-Build programmable EVM and Solana transactions with `@eco-incorp/sauce`, and compose EVM
-executions into Eco intents. Solana execution uses the direct Kitchen client; the
-[legacy SVM intent helper](guides/solana.md#svm-destinations-in-eco-intents) is incompatible
-with the released engine.
-
-**New here?** Follow the [quick start](guides/quick-start.md), explore
-[token and protocol globals](guides/protocols-and-tokens.md), then
-[create and fund an intent](guides/intents.md). Complete programs live in the
-[examples](examples/README.md).
+Sauce is a programmable-transaction runtime. A Sauce program compiles to bytecode that an on-chain
+engine executes atomically inside one transaction — every step lands or none does. `@eco-incorp/sauce`
+is the package you build those programs with. One install carries the compiler and the chains,
+tokens and protocols a program calls by name; you write the program, not a contract of your own.
+
+**Routes** are the layer above: a route packages a program as an Eco intent, so it can be executed
+on another chain in exchange for a reward escrowed on this one. Everything cross-chain lives there.
+
+## First program in five minutes
+
+1. [Install](guides/quick-start.md) the package. The compiler is inside it.
+2. [Build your first intent](guides/quick-start.md#build-your-first-intent) by copying one
+   example. It runs offline.
+3. Put your own calls in its body, naming [tokens and protocols](guides/protocols-and-tokens.md).
+4. [Create an intent from inside the program](guides/intents.md#create-an-intent-from-inside-a-program)
+   when the amount is only known on chain.
+5. [Submit the source reward](guides/intents.md#submit-the-source-reward) with the requests the SDK
+   prepares. A solver then decides whether to fill it.
+
+Complete programs live in the [examples](examples/README.md).

+Node and in a browser; in a browser, [`await ready()`](#in-a-browser) first.

-## Node, browsers, and compiler-only features
+## In a browser
 
-The SDK requires Node **24 or newer**. Its `/compiler` export loads the compiler
-through Node's `createRequire`; SDK route compilation also uses filesystem and
-path APIs. These integrations are Node APIs.
-
-The underlying compiler package separately supplies Node and browser builds.
-For a browser application, install `@eco-incorp/sauce-compiler` directly and use
-its initialization API:
+The SDK compiles in a browser exactly as it does in Node: raw `compile()`, route
+compilation (`Base(...)`, `.reward(...)`, `compileSauceRoute`), the builders, the
+recipes and `/actions` produce the same bytes in both. The difference is start-up.
+Node instantiates the compiler's WebAssembly as the package loads; a browser has to
+fetch it, which cannot happen synchronously. Call `ready()` once, before the first
+compile:
 
 ```ts
-import { ready } from "@eco-incorp/sauce-compiler/ready";
+import { ready } from "@eco-incorp/sauce/compiler"; // also exported by "@eco-incorp/sauce"
 
-const { compile } = await ready();
-// Supply source/dependencies through synchronous in-memory resolvers.
+await ready();
+// compile(), compileSauceRoute(), Base(...).reward(...) and compileProgram() are now
+// synchronous, as in Node.
 ```
 
-`ready()` initializes the browser WASM build and is a no-op for the already
-initialized Node build. Arrange for the compiler's WASM asset and dependency
-bytes to be available before compiling. This does not provide the SDK's route
-rewrites or registry resolver in a browser.
+Until `ready()` resolves, every compile throws an error saying to await it. In Node
+it resolves at once and no compile needs it, so code shared by both can always call
+it. Calling it again is harmless, and a failed attempt is not remembered: calling
+again retries.
+
+With no argument, `ready()` loads the compiler package's `web/sauce_wasm_bg.wasm`
+through `new URL("sauce_wasm_bg.wasm", import.meta.url)`, relative to the compiler's
+own module. A bundler that rewrites `new URL(…, import.meta.url)` asset references
+emits the file and points the URL at it. With one that does not — esbuild, for
+example — copy the file next to your bundle, or tell `ready()` where it is: a URL,
+or the bytes themselves.
+
+```ts
+await ready(new URL("/assets/sauce_wasm_bg.wasm", location.href));
+// or
+await ready(await (await fetch("/assets/sauce_wasm_bg.wasm")).arrayBuffer());
+```
+
+The first `source` that succeeds is the one used; the compiler warns if a later call
+passes a different one.
+
+Every subpath works in a browser except `/svm/engine-artifacts`. It returns filesystem
+paths to the packaged engine binaries for a local LiteSVM harness, and is Node-only.
+In Node, the SDK requires Node **24 or newer**.

-The compiler package also exports `clearFunctionCache()` and
