The star history chart in the README stopped rendering because the underlying GitHub stargazer API can no longer be used without restrictions.

This PR updates the chart to a working alternative that requires no API token, restoring the chart for visitors and contributors. It only touches the Star History section; all other badges are left unchanged.

No migration needed.


Summary by cubic

Restores the README Star History chart by switching to a token-free source after API restrictions broke the previous embed. The chart was not rendering; it now renders for visitors and contributors without an API token.

  • Replaces api.star-history.com SVG and anchor links with star-history.dera.page.
  • Preserves dark/light picture sources and query parameters.
  • README-only change; no migration or build/runtime impact.

Written for commit 0dd5d16. Summary will update on new commits.

    • Updated Star History embeds to use the current star-history.dera.page URLs.
    • Replaced legacy Star History and API links in the README.

The star history chart in the README is currently broken due to GitHub stargazer API restrictions. Update the chart to use an alternative source that requires no API token, so the chart renders again for contributors and visitors.

The README Star History embed now uses star-history.dera.page for its link and chart image sources. The previous star-history.com and api.star-history.com endpoints were replaced.
