docs: Aurora rice pass for the README - #235

Three small SVGs in the exact site brand tokens: the aurora gradient divider with a slow shimmer, the five theme accent dots including Material You, and the READY pulse chip. Animations are guarded by prefers-reduced-motion no-preference and rest at their first keyframe, so style-ignorant renderers show clean static art. SVGs are exempt from the README media byte cap; nothing references these yet.
The tracked mascot icon keeps its deep indigo ink and remains the light-mode variant and picture fallback; the new _dark sibling recolors the single fill rule to the brand pale cyan so dark-mode GitHub gets a legible hero. Both gain the subtle mascot star twinkle as CSS inside the SVG, gated behind a prefers-reduced-motion no-preference query and resting at full opacity, so any renderer that ignores the style block shows the exact static icon shipped today. The geometry matches the site brand icon byte for byte before styling.
The animated webp cycles the five published Aurora theme frames with 1.8 second holds and hard cuts, matching the website rhythm. Inputs are the provenance-covered v1.3.6 gallery frames, sha256 06ffbc6a portable chrome, 64b22578 console oled, b7c49a1b miami nebula, d9a33b38 high contrast, c81fa6e1 material you. Built with ffmpeg libwebp_anim at framerate 5/9 quality 80 loop 0, verified infinite loop and 1800 ms per frame by RIFF inspection, 163,230 bytes at 960x540. Alongside it, two already published captures join the repo byte for byte from the evidence bundle: the Big Walk game detail and the live Retroid Pocket 6 session. Nothing references any of these yet.
…, and cycler The hero becomes a picture element so dark-mode GitHub finally gets a legible pale cyan mascot while light mode keeps the deep indigo one it always rendered well, both with the guarded star twinkle. All seven badges move their label plates onto the site background ink and the two green badges onto the brand light cyan, with every pinned store href byte-untouched. The Big Walk game detail capture leads Browse, the live Retroid Pocket 6 session joins Control under a READY pulse on the heading, the five-theme hard-flip cycler with its accent dot legend follows the gallery sentence, aurora dividers separate the hero, install, documentation, and footer regions, and the footer signs off with the theme-adaptive mascot and one muted link line.
Eight files from the pre-Aurora era leave docs/screenshots: the HUD modes gif, both showcase animations, the themes gif, and four old full-resolution stills. A full-tree grep across every tracked text file and a scan of all release bodies found zero references; about 20 MB leaves the working tree. Links pinned to a commit SHA keep working; only branch-path raw URLs to these names would 404, and none are known.
