The upstream plasma-mobile README is kept as pm_README.md. The new README covers what Shift is, what convergence mode does, and how to build/test.

Shift
Convergence mode for Plasma Mobile. One shell that works as a phone and adapts to a desktop when you connect a monitor, keyboard, or mouse.
Shift is a fork of plasma-mobile. The upstream phone UI is untouched; convergence adds a layer on top.
What convergence mode changes
- Navigation panel replaced by a dock with running-app indicators, favourites, context menus, and hover tooltips
- App drawer opens as a floating popup above the dock
- Window management: edge tiling, edge maximize, close buttons, task context menus, Overview integration
- Status bar gains a system tray, date display, and hover highlights
- Screen space reserved for the dock via layer-shell exclusive zone
- Desktop niceties: right-click wallpaper settings, minimize-all on home press, clickable page indicators
Locations
- components/mobileshell - private shell component library
- containments - shell panels (homescreens, status bar, task panel)
- envmanager - convergence mode environment manager (kwinrc, etc.)
- kwin/scripts - KWin scripts for convergence window behaviour
- kcms - settings modules
- look-and-feel - Plasma look-and-feel packages
- shell - Plasma shell package
- quicksettings - quick settings for the action drawer
