name: Star History

# Regenerates the README star-history chart from the repo's own stargazer timeline
# and publishes it to the unprotected `star-history` branch, which the README embeds
# by raw URL. GitHub restricted the public stargazers API to a repo's own
# admins/collaborators (June 2026), which broke the hosted api.star-history.com badge.
# Running here with the default GITHUB_TOKEN reads our own stars, so there's no
# third-party service and no rate-limited shared token pool. See scripts/generate-star-history.mjs.
