Refresh the Star History palette

[luokerenx4]

Summary

• replace the heavy black-and-gold default chart with a light mint palette that sits naturally in GitHub's light README theme
• generate a matching dark-mode SVG from the same snapshot and select it with a README <picture> source
• remove the 30-day KPI from the chart header, keeping the total star count and snapshot date while the curve communicates slope
• extend generator tests to cover both theme outputs

Why

The self-hosted chart was reliable but visually read like a promotional dashboard inside GitHub. The recent-growth metric also competed with the chart's actual purpose: showing the shape of the historical curve.

User impact

README visitors see a lighter, calmer chart that adapts to their GitHub color scheme. The historical data and privacy boundary are unchanged.

Verification

• pnpm star-history:generate (6,284 active stargazers; both SVG themes generated from one fetch)
• pnpm exec vitest run scripts/generate-star-history.spec.ts (5 passed)
• npx tsc --noEmit
• pnpm test (353 passed, 1 skipped; 3,368 tests passed, 9 skipped)
• xmllint --noout docs/images/star-history.svg docs/images/star-history-dark.svg
• git diff --check
• rendered both SVGs at 1200×560 with rsvg-convert and visually inspected them
• confirmed GitHub's Markdown renderer preserves the <picture> and dark-mode <source> elements
• scanned both SVGs for usernames, raw stargazer fields, and credential material

Boundary touch

• none (README visuals and generator only)
