The badge was a hand-written 1.2k against ~12.8k real installer downloads. A scheduled workflow now counts .dmg/.AppImage/.deb/.rpm/.exe downloads across every release and writes a shields endpoint JSON to an orphan `badges` branch (main's required checks would block a bot commit there); the README badge reads that file. Updater traffic (yml polls, zips, blockmaps) stays excluded, as before. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
.github/workflows/download-badge.ymlrecounts every 6 h, on each published release, and on manual dispatch. It writes a shields endpoint JSON (downloads.json) to an orphanbadgesbranch as a single force-pushed commit. The file lives off main because main's required checks would block a bot commit there.img.shields.io/endpoint.github/downloadstotal reads ~14× higher because of it.After merge
