zzg 4e748a4af8 Initial commit: README describing Fathom's design and alternatives considered
Fathom is a self-hosted agent trace store: one Go binary that ingests
OTLP traces and logs and renders agent runs as readable span trees.

Documents the design (OTLP-only ingest, columnar day-shards with local
dictionaries, blob sidecars, time-partition-as-only-index, narrow query
grammar, go:embed UI) and the alternatives that were rejected and why:
Langfuse, Phoenix, general APM, a SQLite metadata layer, git-refs
storage, multi-node, and a native ingest format.
