What
Adds two demo GIFs (already hosted on runcycles.io) to the top of cycles-server README, between the opening paragraph and the Quick Start section.
demo-runaway.gif— shows Cycles enforcing a hard budget cap on a runaway agent loop ($6 in 30s into the wall at $1)demo-action-authority.gif— shows Cycles blocking an unauthorized tool call before the side effect landsEach GIF links back to the corresponding standalone demo repo and includes alt text for accessibility.
Why
GitHub READMEs with a screenshot or demo GIF up top get more stars, longer dwell time, and stronger conversion to clones. The repo has none today; the docs site already hosts polished GIFs that match the README narrative ("hard limits on AI agent spend, risk, and tool actions before execution"). Wiring them in is a one-line insert.
Scope
README.md## Quick StartContinuation of the org-wide SEO/discoverability pass. Sibling work: profile README rework (runcycles/.github#33), keyword-front-loaded H1s in the 6 pinned repos.
