Context

The README header did not surface core repo signals, so visitors had to scan deeper to find CI, version, license, and docs entry points.

TL;DR

Add four high-signal badges under the README logo for CI, license, latest tag, and docs.

Summary

  • Add a CI badge linked to the existing make-all workflow
  • Add license and latest tag badges linked to GitHub metadata pages
  • Add a docs badge linked to the workflow reference entry point

Alternatives

  • Considered stars, forks, contributor, and activity badges, but skipped them as low-signal vanity metrics for the current repo size.

Test Plan

  • cargo fmt --check
  • cargo test
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • git diff --check -- README.md
  • Inspect the README badge row and badge targets in the staged diff

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added status and metadata badges to the README, providing quick links to CI workflows, license information, release history, and documentation resources.

Summary:
- add CI, license, release, and docs badges under the README logo
- link badges to existing GitHub workflow, tags, license, and docs pages
- keep the change limited to the README header for a cleaner first impression

Rationale:
- surface the most useful repo signals without adding low-value vanity badges
- make repo health and entry points easier to assess from the README header

Tests:
- git diff --check -- README.md
- Rust tests not run (docs-only change)
