 ## Why SeqSeg?
 
 SeqSeg segments vessels **sequentially**, taking steps along vessel centerlines and detecting bifurcations to grow complete vascular trees from just **1–2 seed points**. By combining local deep-learning predictions (nnU-Net) with geometric tracking, it stays robust across vessel scales — from small coronaries to large aortas.

-## What's new in 2.x
-
-SeqSeg **2.0** uses subcommands. A command from 1.x that starts with a flag, such as `seqseg -data_dir ...`, still runs: it is rewritten to `seqseg run batch` automatically.
-
-### Commands
-
-| Command | Description |
-| -------- | ----------- |
-| **`seqseg run batch`** | Dataset batch tracing |
-| **`seqseg run single`** | One volume and seeds. Stages files under `<outdir>/_seqseg_single_staging/`, then traces |
-| **`seqseg run plus batch`** | Global nnU-Net sweep, then SeqSeg |
-| **`seqseg init dataset`** | Create `images/`, `centerlines/`, `truths/`, and a template `seeds.json` |
-| **`seqseg paths init` / `set` / `show`** | Save default nnU-Net, data, and output directories in `~/.seqseg/paths.yaml` |
-| **`seqseg train prepare`** | Extract patches or whole volumes and build an nnU-Net dataset |
-| **`seqseg train nnunet`** | Run nnU-Net planning, preprocessing, and training |
-| **`seqseg doctor`** | Check imports (SimpleITK, vtk, nnunetv2, scipy, vascular-segment-sampler) and paths |
-| **`seqseg config dump` / `fingerprint`** | Print a packaged YAML config, or list keys that differ from another |
-| **`seqseg post global-centerline`** | Build global centerlines from existing segmentations |
-| **`seqseg simvascular init`** | Create or refresh a SimVascular project under a case directory |
-| **`seqseg --version`** | Print the installed version |
-
-`seqseg run batch` flags use underscores (`-outdir` / `--outdir`). The data folder is `-data_dir` or `--data_directory`. `seqseg run single`, `seqseg train`, and `seqseg paths` use hyphens (`--image`, `--data-dir`).
+## Start here
 
-### Migrating from 1.x
-
-1. Prefer `seqseg run batch`. The old flag-only form still works.
-2. Use `seqseg run plus batch` in place of `python -m seqseg.seqseg_plus`. The nnU-Net path flags are unchanged.
-3. Check the install with `seqseg --version` after `pip install -U seqseg`.
