Summary

Adds a single citation line under the project description linking to:

  • projects.mioli.dev/gosymdb/ (project page; resolves to a placeholder today, real content in flight)
  • blog.mioli.dev (write-ups)
  • mioli.dev (author landing)

The point is to give Google an inbound link signal from this repo's README and to let humans clicking in from pkg.go.dev / Go Report Card / Homebrew taps find the write-up and the author profile without bouncing back to GitHub search.

Note for maintainer

The repo's About > Website field is currently empty (gh repo view confirms). Setting it to https://projects.mioli.dev/gosymdb/ once that page is live would compound the SEO benefit. That's a GitHub metadata setting, not a README change, so it's not part of this PR.

The existing README has em-dash punctuation in several places (e.g. line 9, line 13). The voice rule in the blog repo's notes/scripts/session-handoff.md would treat those as violations, but reflowing existing prose would explode the scope of this PR. Worth a follow-up sweep.

Test plan

  • git diff shows two added lines, no other changes
  • Pre-commit hooks pass (no Go-relevant files staged)
  • CI green

Adds a one-line citation block under the project description linking to
projects.mioli.dev/gosymdb (project page), blog.mioli.dev (write-ups),
and mioli.dev (author). The links are stable, give Google an inbound
signal from this repo's README, and let humans clicking through from
package indexes (pkg.go.dev, Go Report Card, etc.) find the
write-up and the author profile.

The GitHub repo's About > Website field is also currently empty;
setting it to https://projects.mioli.dev/gosymdb/ once that page is
live would compound the SEO benefit. Not changed here, since that's a
metadata setting outside the repo.
