| The core log viewer only. It keeps everything under **Log Viewer** below - format auto-detection, real-time tailing, virtual scrolling, find and filter, text highlighting, and the embedded error-code database - plus the Timeline and DNS / DHCP tools. It leaves out the eight specialized features above, which also drops the Windows Event Log and property-list parsers and makes the binary noticeably smaller. Choose Lite if you just want a fast, portable, CMTrace-style log reader with a minimal footprint. |

Add an "Editions: Full vs Lite" section between Install and Features describing what each download includes. Full (default build) bundles all specialized workspaces and tools; Lite (--no-default-features) is the core log viewer plus Timeline and DNS/DHCP, with a smaller binary. The workspace/feature claims are verified against get_available_workspaces in commands/app_config.rs and the `full` feature in src-tauri/Cargo.toml.

Expand the [Unreleased] section to cover every commit since v1.3.2: - Log Text column auto-fit on load (this branch) - CCM type="0" first-class Success severity + empty-type coercion fix (#248) - clippy --all-targets enforcement (#245) - Full vs Lite editions README docs (#241) - quick-xml RUSTSEC-2026-0194/0195 advisory ignore (#239) and the Microsoft Security DevOps workflow - signed nightly build channel, updater feed, and failure alerting (#236) - a Dependencies subsection with exact Rust / frontend / GitHub Actions version deltas Version numbers and behavioral claims were taken from the commit diffs, not the commit subjects.

Closes #227.
The README never explained the difference between the "full edition" and "lite edition" downloads. This adds an Editions: Full vs Lite section between Install and Features.
