docs: update readme banner to current brand card - #1206
Merged
Conversation
Marketing asked to retire the "now open source" framing from the README hero, so the banner is now the plain Minimal brand card carrying the "Build software you can trust" tagline. The alt text is updated to match the new artwork. The card is encoded as lossless WebP at the existing path, so every reference to docs/public/readme-banner.webp keeps resolving. It is 1280x640 where the previous artwork was 2560x1280; the 2:1 aspect ratio is unchanged, so the width="880" render is unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The previous banner shipped 2560x1280; the replacement was a 1x 1280x640 export, which renders soft on retina at the README's width=880. Re-export at 2x and encode lossy WebP q90 (92KB, matching the old file's footprint) instead of lossless (433KB).

Updates the README banner to the current Minimal brand card at the request of marketing, replacing artwork whose "now open source" framing we no longer want to lead with. The new card carries the wordmark and the "Build software you can trust" tagline; the image alt text is updated to match. The artwork is encoded as lossless WebP at the existing
docs/public/readme-banner.webppath, so every reference keeps resolving, and the 2:1 aspect ratio is unchanged so the rendered banner is the same size as before.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
