Issue Summary

Built-in help system is promised but not available in the GUI

Description

The README claims "Built-in Help: Comprehensive tutorials and explanations" as part of the Modern Interface features.
In gui/look-dgc.py, the help_action is created but immediately disabled (help_action.setEnabled(False)) and never enabled anywhere.
Furthermore, gui/help.py exists but is an empty file (size 0 in directory listing), indicating the help system is not implemented.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run LOOK-DGC and look at the "View" and "Help" menus.
  2. Notice that the "Show help" action is disabled and clicking it does nothing.
  3. Inspect gui/help.py and see it is empty.

Expected Result

The Help action should open an in-app help viewer or documentation consistent with the README promise.

Actual Result

The Help action is permanently disabled and there is no implementation for the help system, contrary to what the README advertises.

Affected Files

  • gui/look-dgc.py
  • gui/help.py
  • README.md

Suggested Fix

Implement help.py to provide at least basic documentation or link out to HOW_IT_WORKS and README, and enable the help_action in the GUI. Alternatively, adjust README wording if full in-app help will not be provided.
