-OpenSSF Best Practices badge — one-time setup, then add the markup
-back into the badge row above:
-
-  1. Sign in with GitHub at https://www.bestpractices.dev/en/projects/new
-  2. Submit the project; the form assigns a numeric PROJECT_ID and
-     opens the criteria checklist (passing / silver / gold tiers).
-  3. Add the following to the <p align="center"> block above (replace
-     PROJECT_ID with the assigned number):
-
-        <a href="https://www.bestpractices.dev/projects/PROJECT_ID">
-          <img src="https://www.bestpractices.dev/projects/PROJECT_ID/badge"
-               alt="OpenSSF Best Practices">
-        </a>
-
-The badge auto-updates as criteria are checked off — no CI integration
-required (unlike the Scorecard badge, which is updated by the
-.github/workflows/scorecard.yml workflow on every push to main).
