Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): add Star History chart + polish Repository of
 the Day badge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add Star History section before License (dark-mode-aware picture/source
  pattern matching calesthio/Crucix). Links to star-history.com.
- Repository of the Day badge restyled to match the deer-flow aesthetic:
  dark labelColor (#0D1117 — GitHub background), gold accent (#F6B543
  dark / #D9892A light), prefers-color-scheme picture variants, 48px
  height for a more pill-like proportion. The current bright-purple
  shields.io block was less distinctive than the surrounding YouTube/X
  badges.

OpenMontage isn't currently listed on Trendshift (deer-flow's badge
provider), so the badge stays shields.io-based; design matches the
intent. If we want a real Trendshift badge later, register the repo
at trendshift.io and swap in the api/badge/repositories/<id> URL.
