Subject: Update README for new command structure

- Remove --host flag from examples (default host set on init)
- Update env commands to new subcommand syntax
- Simplify configuration section

+### Host Management
+
 ```bash
-deploy init --host user@vps-ip
+# Initialize a fresh VPS (one-time setup, sets as default)

 ### Deploy App/Site
 ```bash
 # Go app
-deploy deploy --host user@vps-ip --binary ./myapp --domain api.example.com
+deploy --binary ./myapp --domain api.example.com
 
 # Static site
-deploy deploy --host user@vps-ip --static --dir ./dist --domain example.com

 # Custom name (defaults to binary/directory name)

+deploy --name myapi --binary ./myapp --domain api.example.com
 ```
 
 ### List Deployments
 ```bash
-deploy list --host user@vps-ip
+deploy list
 ```
 
 ### Manage Deployments
 ```bash
 # View logs
-deploy logs myapp --host user@vps-ip
+deploy logs myapp
 
 # View status
-deploy status myapp --host user@vps-ip
+deploy status myapp
 
 # Restart app
-deploy restart myapp --host user@vps-ip
+deploy restart myapp
 
 # Remove deployment
-deploy remove myapp --host user@vps-ip
+deploy remove myapp
 ```
 
 ### Environment Variables
 ```bash
 # View current env vars (secrets are masked)
-deploy env myapi --host user@vps-ip
+deploy env list myapi
 
 # Set env vars
-deploy env myapi --host user@vps-ip --set DB_HOST=localhost --set API_KEY=secret
+deploy env set myapi DB_HOST=localhost API_KEY=secret
 
 # Load from file
-deploy env myapi --host user@vps-ip --file .env.production
+deploy env set myapi -f .env.production
 
 # Unset env var
-deploy env myapi --host user@vps-ip --unset API_KEY
+deploy env unset myapi API_KEY
 ```
 
 ## Configuration
 
-Create `~/.config/deploy/config` to avoid typing `--host` every time:
-
-```
-host: user@your-vps-ip
-```
-
-Then you can omit the `--host` flag:
-
-```bash
-deploy list
-deploy deploy --binary ./myapp --domain api.example.com
-```
+The host you initialize becomes the default, so you don't need to specify `--host` for every command. The default host is stored in `~/.config/deploy/state.json`.
