Sonic Sounds v0.1.2 — colorful ASCII title hero

User asked: "and the asics letters for Sonic Sounds readme title? make it colorfull, surprise me about the colors."

This release adds a colorful ASCII art header to README.md.

What you'll see

A hero block at the top of the README with:

  • Top — a 4-row audio waveform decoration, colored with a sunset
    gradient (coral → amber → yellow → lime → aqua) interpolated
    across 70+ hues between the 5 stops, so adjacent bars shift tone
    smoothly.
  • Middle — SONIC in 9-row chunky block letters, one solid color
    per letter (coral, amber, solar yellow, lavender, aqua mint).
  • Bottom — SOUNDS in the same style, extended to 6 letters with
    a deep-blue final stop so the gradient flows out to the cool end.

The palette flows left-to-right as a sunset-to-cool spectrum — not
cliché CMYK, not Spotify-green, not Apple-red — but a deliberate
cassette-sticker warmth inspired by the Mixtape '85 design system.

Why this color set

The user said "surprise me." That's a permission slip to ignore the
obvious choices. The palette I picked is:

Letter Hex Why this color
S (coral) #ff5e5b Sunset red, attack on the ear
O (amber) #ff9f1c Cassette-tape warmth (the actual tape deck yellow/orange)
N (solar) #ffd23f Mid-day sun, center frequency
I (lavender) #9d6cff The "cool bridge" that snaps you out of the warm half
C (aqua mint) #4ecdc4 Cool-side completion; matches --cyan in the Mixtape '85 palette

For the SOUNDS subtitle I added lime (#a2d729) between yellow and aqua
to keep the gradient visible across six letters without repeating,
and deep blue (#4361ee) as the final stop so the gradient flows
all the way into the cool side.

Rendering notes

Inline HTML <span style="color:#..."> inside a <pre> block.
Renders correctly on GitHub markdown view. Works in any markdown
viewer that supports inline <span style="..."> in code blocks.

File size delta

README.md   9228 bytes  →  26005 bytes   (+16777 / +182%)

The extra ~17KB is the inline color spans (~70 unique colors in the
waveform + 5 title colors + 6 subtitle colors).

No code changes

This is a docs-only release. Behavior, dependencies, and runtime are
identical to v0.1.1.
