James Dansereau 972b7e69bf docs: README update - trim repeated framing, fix stale status claims, drop going-stale badges (#52)
* docs: step 2 of the docs/site cleanup - README rewrite + agentic-development.md numbers refresh

README: trim the repeated AI-collaboration pitch to one mention with a
link (was stated near-verbatim 3x in this file alone); drop the status/
tested_on/built_with badges (CI + license only - the others just go
stale); cut the duplicate 'by the numbers' table and mermaid diagram
(both live, and are current, in docs/dev/agentic-development.md); tighten
the comparison-table Why-it-exists/Status cells; update the Documentation
table for the site-config change in the prior PR. Fixes the contradictory
status claims: audio (in-level music does not play yet, D77 -- was
claimed both silent and working in different sections) and Linux (not
actively tested since v0.1.0 -- was claimed both untested and level-swept
in different sections).

docs/dev/agentic-development.md: refreshed the 'By the numbers' table
with git-verified figures (calendar range, commit count, bug count,
ABI-edit file/line counts) -- the old numbers were from an earlier
session and had drifted well behind main. Trimmed the italic pitch
block under the H1 to one plain paragraph; left the timeline, milestone
table, and effort-split estimate untouched (maintainer's own record, not
independently re-derivable from git).

* docs: README fixup pass - trim bold/em-dash density, drop redundant WARNING callout

Benchmarked against comparable projects (Perfect Dark PC port, the
GoldenEye-Recomp competitor, ripgrep as a general engineering-README
gold standard): this file was still running ~42 bold spans and 48 em
dashes across ~2,600 words, well above what any of those use, and the
alpha-status callout box duplicated the Status section's own opening
paragraph.

- Bold audit for real this time: kept proper nouns on first mention,
  table row labels, and one bullet-lead-phrase convention used
  consistently in three lists; cut everything that was just mid-sentence
  emphasis or a second bold of something already established (the ROM
  phrase, Windows/Linux, v0.1.0, a bolded URL). 42 spans -> 33.
- Un-bolded and merged the duplicate audio/music caveat (was bolded once
  in Working and again in Not-yet-working for the same fact).
- Dropped the alpha WARNING callout; folded its one load-bearing
  sentence into the Status section's existing opening paragraph instead
  of stating it twice in two different box styles. Kept the ROM-supply
  IMPORTANT callout - that one's legally load-bearing and not
  duplicated elsewhere.
- Varied em-dash-as-everything-connector into periods/colons/semicolons/
  parens where a flowing sentence called for it (not touched: the
  term-dash-description bulleted lists in Credits/How-it-works/Not-yet-
  working, which are a legitimate, consistent convention, not filler).
  48 -> 33, and the worst offender (a double-em-dash-wrapped parenthetical
  in Background) is gone.
- Reworded the intro's research-angle sentence away from "doubles as a
  research project" to plain prose.
