**Updated**: Added new "## Vendor Registry System" section with comprehensive documentation

**Content Added**:

#### Overview Section
- Updated main overview to highlight vendor registry system with link to Issue #11
- Mentions thread-safe registration, priority-based routing, and automatic rate limiting

#### New Vendor Registry System Section

**1. Core Components Subsection**
- VendorRegistry description with key features
  - Thread-safe singleton
  - Centralized management with priority-based routing
  - Method-to-vendor mapping
  - Double-checked locking pattern
- BaseVendor description with key features
  - Abstract base class
  - 3-stage lifecycle: transform_query() → extract_data() → transform_data()
  - Built-in retry logic with exponential backoff
  - Standardized VendorResponse format
- Decorators description with usage
  - @register_vendor() - Auto-register with capabilities and priority

## Key Features Documented

### Vendor Registry
- Thread-safe singleton with double-checked locking
- Priority-based routing (vendors ordered by priority)
- Capability tracking and querying
- Method-to-vendor mapping
- Automatic registry clearing for testing

### BaseVendor
- 3-stage lifecycle pattern for all vendor implementations
- Exponential backoff retry logic
- Configurable retry parameters (max_retries, retry_delay, backoff_factor)
- Call counting for monitoring vendor usage
- Standardized VendorResponse with metadata, success flag, error tracking

### Decorators
- @register_vendor: Auto-discovers @vendor_method decorated methods
- @vendor_method: Maps implementation methods to standard interface names
- @rate_limited: Sliding window algorithm with thread-safe state management
- Burst limiting support (optional)
