Makes the public README more attractive and brings it back in line with the current build.

Screenshots

Three app screenshots added under docs/images/:

  • screenshot-games.png — hero image (player list, game list, board, score)
  • screenshot-openings.png — opening tree with counts, score % and performance
  • screenshot-home.png — home screen: four entry points, database totals, latest source update

The README is restructured around them: centered header with badges, hero image, and a Highlights section pairing each screenshot with what that view is for.

Accuracy fixes

The old text described a build that no longer exists, so rather than illustrating stale claims:

  • No more sidecar. The GUI is a pure HTTP client (tauri.conf.json has no externalBin). The sidecar description and the dev:prepare-based dev instructions are replaced with "start chess-db serve, then npm run tauri dev", plus a short client/server architecture section pointing at docs/client-server-architecture.md.
  • Install section listing the actual v0.9.1 release assets (three Linux .debs, Windows .exe, macOS aarch64.pkg), and the .AppImage mention is gone.
  • TWIC-only → all three live sources (TWIC, Lichess Broadcasts, Ajedrez Data — OTB), with homepages and credits from the source catalog in Acknowledgements.
  • Added the opening tree, position search, scheduled feed checks, automatic maintenance and LPDO_DATA_DIR.

Note: the badges are served from shields.io, so they render on github.com but not offline.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add three app screenshots (game browser, opening tree, home screen) under
docs/images/ and restructure the README around them: centered header with
badges, a hero image, and a "Highlights" section pairing each screenshot
with what that view is for.

Also correct statements that no longer match the build:

- The GUI is a pure HTTP client — no bundled sidecar (no externalBin), so
  the sidecar description and the dev:prepare-based dev instructions are
  replaced with "start chess-db serve, then npm run tauri dev" plus a short
  client/server architecture section.
- Install section listing the actual release assets (three Linux .debs,
  Windows .exe, macOS .pkg); drop the .AppImage mention.
- TWIC-only -> all three live reference sources, with their homepages and
  credits in Acknowledgements.
- Mention the opening tree, position search, scheduled feed checks,
  automatic maintenance and LPDO_DATA_DIR.
