docs: remove broken star-history chart embed - #32
Merged
Conversation
The chart renders empty in both themes: the star-history API serves a watermark-only template SVG regardless of token. Verified end to end - the embedded sealed_token URLs return HTTP 200 with no data series, a control fetch for ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh with the same token and the legacy tokenless /svg endpoint also return empty templates, and rotating the token (#30) did not change the output. With zero stars the chart would stay empty even if the service recovered, so the README drops it; the star badge and the 'Star this repo' link remain.

What changed
Removes the star-history chart embed from the README. The
## Star this repoheading, the stargazers link, and the shields.io star badge all stay.Why (verified, not guessed)
The chart has been rendering as just the "Star History" watermark on an empty frame in both themes:
image/svg+xml~60KB — but contain no legend and no data series (empty template).ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh(175k+ stars) with the same token → same empty template. Tokenless and the legacy/svgendpoint → same empty template. The service's data fetch is broken/degraded regardless of token.sealed_tokenand the output did not change.Re-add a chart when the service serves data again and the repos have star history worth plotting.
