The README embedded star-history.com with a sealed_token that expired
periodically (403 "GitHub restricted starred-data access"), breaking the chart.
Replace it with self-hosted SVGs generated from the GitHub API:
- .github/scripts/gen_star_history.py: fetches the stargazer timeline
(authenticated, so no rate limit / no sealed token) and renders light + dark
cumulative-stars SVGs (stdlib only, no pip deps).
- .github/workflows/star-history.yml: regenerates weekly (+ manual dispatch)
using the repo's own token and commits the SVGs only when they change.
- README embeds the committed SVGs via <picture> (relative paths) — no
third-party embed to rate-limit or expire.
Initial charts committed (6,621 stars).
