From 28bd66be68788074e4109df0d84760403386dc4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lmoresi Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 21:33:11 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Add curated badge bar to README MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds release, license, Python, and docs status badges in a single top bar — at-a-glance identifiers for new visitors. Excludes commit activity / last-commit type badges (vanity metrics that pressure churn-for-churn's-sake on a maturing scientific codebase). DOI and JOSS badges remain in the References section where their prose context explains how to cite.
