README Badges Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Add 10 badges to the top of README.md showing CI status, code quality, tech stack, and project info.

Architecture: Pure markdown edit — insert badge rows before the # server-maintanence heading. Codacy badge uses a placeholder token until the user provides the real one from their Codacy dashboard.

Tech Stack: Markdown, shields.io, GitHub Actions status badges, Codecov, Codacy

Task 1: Add badges to README.md and commit

Files:

Modify: README.md:1 (insert badge block before the heading)
Modify: docs/plans/2026-02-15-readme-badges-design.md (already exists, no changes needed)

Step 1: Insert badge block at the top of README.md

Replace line 1 of README.md:

# server-maintanence
