docs: close out the rewrite in README and STATUS

README now describes the full scope (Linux app, C APIs, WASM, crash
reporting, macOS/Windows compile-checked), the verification tooling
(difftest, visual-parity, check-all) and links DEVIANT_FIXES.md and
KNOWN_DIFFERENCES.md. STATUS records completion and the stopping
criterion.

 # Status
 
-**Overall:** Linux/GTK port complete and verified (3038 tests). **Phase 8 in progress:** libghostty C API, libghostty-vt C API, WASM, macOS Zig paths, Windows, crash handling, GTK compat fallbacks, remaining verification + perf.
+**Overall: complete (2026-10-12).** Ghostty 1.3.1's Zig code is fully ported to Rust: Linux/GTK app (built, tested, verified at runtime, pixel-identical to the original), libghostty + libghostty-vt C APIs (ABI-checked), WASM (node-tested), macOS and Windows code paths (compile-checked with clippy -D warnings; not runnable here). 3584 tests; terminal core differentially fuzzed against Ghostty's Zig code (390k+ cases, 0 divergences); config/CLI output byte-identical to the installed Ghostty. Review rounds stopped after RV18 per the stopping criterion in PLAN.md. Intentional deviations: DEVIANT_FIXES.md; remaining minor differences: KNOWN_DIFFERENCES.md.
