Why

The top of the README still names the game and the console, though the website no longer does (#193). The repo's description on the forge was also changed to the same neutral wording. Visitors also had no Discord link in the link row, and nothing explaining what this site is.

What changed

README: the tagline and the intro sentence use #193's wording ("a supported console game").
README: a bold Discord link in the link row, next to Website and Download.
README: a centered note under the links: "This website is our Git hosting, similar to GitHub."
The trademark notice under License is unchanged because it's a legal notice. The game-specific wording further down the README (status table, troubleshooting, controls) is left for a follow-up.

Flags and settings

None.

Measurements

None: a README-only change.

Testing

Tested: python -I -B tests/run_all.py on Linux: 450 passed, 7 failed, 65 skipped. The same 7 tests (test_display_pointer, test_bake_portability, test_program_cache_cleanup, test_control, test_longshot_ctl, test_program_cache_one_variant, test_vram_budget_row) fail with main's README too, so this change does not cause them.

Not tested: Nothing runtime; no code changes.

Needs other testers: None.

Screenshots

Nothing in the game. Only the README page on the forge changes.

Risk and rollback

None beyond wording; revert the commit.

Issues

See #193

Checklist

For everyone

One topic.
The title is a Conventional Commit (type(scope): description).
Rebased on current main.
python -I -B tests/run_all.py run and passing (any failure that also fails on main is named above).
Tested in the game, or what wasn't is named under Testing.
Testing filled in: what was tested, what wasn't, and what needs other testers (with test requests).
Measured: main and this PR at named commits, on the same PC, scene and settings, at least 2 interleaved runs each, the median reported.
No game files, dumps, build output or generated files.
third_party/ untouched (a new folder with a PROVENANCE.md instead).
The license is OK: GPL-3.0-or-later, nothing incompatible and nothing decompiled.

If applicable

AI assistance recorded with Assisted-by: / Co-Authored-By: trailers.
Docs updated.
