Add Star History Chart to README.md

[ACJLabsDev]

Summary

• Problem: The repository lacks a visible star history chart, making it harder for visitors to gauge project traction at a glance.
• Why it matters: Star history is a common community/social-proof signal that helps with discoverability and contributor confidence.
• What changed: Added a Star History section to README.md with an embedded chart image and link via star-history.com.
• What did not change (scope boundary): No code, config, dependencies, or CI changes. Documentation-only.

UX Journey

N/A — no user-facing application flow is affected. This is a static README addition visible on the GitHub repo page.

Change Metadata

• Primary scope: docs

Linked Issue

• None

Validation Evidence (required)

• No code changes; validation commands (type-check, lint, format:check, test) are not affected.
• If any command is intentionally skipped, explain why: All skipped — change is limited to a Markdown section in README.md with no impact on source, tests, or build.

Security Impact (required)

• New permissions/capabilities? No
• New external network calls? No
• Secrets/tokens handling changed? No
• File system access scope changed? No

Note: The embedded image is fetched client-side by GitHub's Markdown renderer from api.star-history.com. No server-side or build-time network calls are introduced.

Compatibility / Migration

• Backward compatible? Yes
• Config/env changes? No
• Database migration needed? No

Human Verification (required)

• Verified scenarios: Previewed the rendered Markdown on GitHub to confirm the chart image loads and the link resolves correctly.
• Edge cases checked: None applicable.
• What was not verified: Chart rendering in non-GitHub Markdown renderers (out of scope).

Side Effects / Blast Radius (required)

• Affected subsystems/workflows: None
• Potential unintended effects: None
• Guardrails/monitoring for early detection: N/A

Rollback Plan (required)

• Fast rollback command/path: Revert the commit.
• Feature flags or config toggles: None
• Observable failure symptoms: Broken image badge in README if star-history.com is unavailable (cosmetic only).

Risks and Mitigations

None.
