Virgilio Junior 2fe9d8b20f feat(cli): replace the ASCII banner with two quiet lines, and fund the project at the end (#153) ...

The 24-line braille-art banner opened every run. It did its job — the
project is recognisable in videos people record — but it spends the most
attention the tool ever gets on decoration, at the moment the reader has
received nothing yet.

Start of a run: two lines naming the project, the licence, and that it is
maintained in personal time. No ask — nothing has been delivered yet.

End of a successful run: one two-line note about funding, after the report,
where the reader has just been handed extracted text and a structure they
can use. It states what the money is for instead of asking for it.

The note never prints when extraction failed. Nobody should be asked to
fund a tool that just wasted their time.

Written to stdout with the rest of the closing report: stderr is unbuffered
and stdout is not when the run is piped, which is how an agent captures it,
so mixing the two puts the closing line at the top of the output.
