    If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.

    Add more sections (Overview, Install, Usage, Contributing) using ## headings.

    Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.

Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.
