What: Front-load .actor/actor.json's description with MANDATORY: read README before calling, replacing the trailing "Read the README first."

Why: Observed a model reading only the truncated tools-get schema blurb, missing the trailing README instruction, and guessing the apify.* call signature (positional vs. options-object) wrong twice before finally reading the README. Putting the instruction first survives truncation/skimming.

Testing: python3 -c "import json; print(len(json.load(open('.actor/actor.json'))['description']))" → 272 chars, under the 300-char Store description cap. No behavior change, description text only.

Prior wording ("Read the README first.") sat at the end and was easy
to skip — a model reading only the truncated tools-get schema blurb
missed it and guessed the apify.* call signature wrong twice before
checking the README. Front-load it as MANDATORY so it survives
truncation and skimming.
Keep the original description text; only strengthen the trailing
README instruction to MANDATORY instead of front-loading it.
