docs: serve README badges without shields.io so they render through GitHub's image proxy - #19

…s image proxy GitHub's camo proxy timed out (504 after about 4.2 s) on most shields.io fetches, so the badges showed as broken images. Workflow badges now use GitHub's native badges, Codacy its own badge, and static badges are committed SVGs.
shields.io also times out through GitHub's image proxy for live values, so the release, Homebrew and Discord badges in the translated READMEs now come from badgen.net with the same labels and colours, and their static licence badge is now a committed SVG.

Summary
The badges in README.md and the 6 translated READMEs now load from sources GitHub's image proxy can reach, so they no longer show as broken images.
GitHub serves external README images through its camo proxy, which returned 504 after about 4.2 s on most shields.io fetches on 30 October 2026. Each badge keeps its link target and alt text:
.github/assets/badges/and linked by relative path.discord.gg/RySmvNF5kF, the 'rtk-ai labs' server). The shields.io badges used the server widget, which shows 'widget disabled'. README_pt.md queried server 1470188214710046894, which is an unrelated server ('NanoClaw'), so its count now matches its link.Evidence
After: GitHub's rendered HTML for all 7 READMEs on this branch: every image URL returned 200. Release and Homebrew values match the shields.io badges fetched directly.
bash scripts/validate-docs.sh: passed. No script, workflow or test readsREADME_*.md.Merge danger
Door: two-way. Blast radius: README
Unverified
.github/assets, so the relative badge SVGs may not render there.
