readme: fix license/stars badges cached as 'repo not found' from the private era - #169
Merged
Conversation
GitHub's camo proxy cached the license and stars badge images while the repo was private (shields returned 'repo not found'); a PURGE re-fetched stale data from shields' own cache shard. New URLs mean new camo cache keys, so they render immediately: the license badge becomes static (license-MIT-green — the license doesn't change, so no API dependency to break again) and the stars badge gets a cacheSeconds param (fresh camo entry now, saner refresh after). https://claude.ai/code/session_01DpfHDXRC3fR9xhpMVQb6HL

Cosmetic but front-page: the README's license and stars badges render as "repo not found" (visible in the screenshots from the freshly-public repo).
Cause: GitHub's camo image proxy cached the shields.io error images from when the repo was private. A
PURGEof the camo entries succeeded but re-fetched stale data from shields' own cache shard — so waiting it out is the only fix for the existing URLs.Fix: change the URLs, which changes the camo cache keys, so they render correctly immediately:
badge/license-MIT-green(the license doesn't change; removing the API dependency means repo-visibility can never break it again).?cacheSeconds=3600(new camo entry now, saner refresh interval after).Both verified at the source before committing (
license: MIT, valid stars SVG). The release badge already healed on its own — and correctly shows v0.13.0 🎉https://claude.ai/code/session_01DpfHDXRC3fR9xhpMVQb6HL
