Replaces 16 hand-maintained READMEs (en + ar/de/es/fa/fr/hi/it/ja/ ko/pt-BR/ru/sv/tr-TR/zh-CN/zh-TW) with a single README.src.md, regenerated in CI by nanolaba/nrg-action@v1 on push to main. All 16 outputs are byte-identical to the originals (modulo a 2-line auto-generated header NRG injects at the top). Drift-check job runs in mode: check on PRs that touch any README*.md or the template, failing the build with a unified diff when a contributor edits a generated file directly.

Why
README.mdand 15 translations (README.ar.md,README.de.md,README.es.md,README.fa.md,README.fr.md,README.hi.md,README.it.md,README.ja.md,README.ko.md,README.pt-BR.md,README.ru.md,README.sv.md,README.tr-TR.md,README.zh-CN.md,README.zh-TW.md) are hand-maintained side-by-side. With 16 files in lockstep, every README change means editing the same paragraph in 16 places — a real maintenance burden as the project grows.This PR migrates all sixteen files to a single source-of-truth template using Nanolaba Readme Generator (NRG). Combined with
nanolaba/nrg-action@v1, regeneration happens in CI on every push tomain— no toolchain locally, just YAML.What changes
README.src.md— the unified source. Each line is tagged with<!--<lang>-->so it appears only in that language's output. Generated programmatically; outputs are byte-identical to today's files (modulo a 2-line auto-generated header)..github/workflows/nrg.yml— runsnanolaba/nrg-action@v1(pinned to NRG1.1):maintouchingREADME.src.mdor workflow → regenerates and auto-commits.README*.mdor template → drift check (mode: check) — fails with unified diff when a contributor edits a generated file directly.Verification
Locally, regenerating with NRG
1.1from Maven Central against currentmain(commit 770b2a8) produces output that diffs against the originals only by the 2-line auto-generated header. Zero functional content change.What's intentionally NOT in this PR
README.src.md. Future PRs can extract shared structural elements (badges, language nav strip, image references) into shared regions of the template.How to regenerate locally
