docs: remove all marketing fluff and emojis from README

Removed:
- All emojis from section headers and content
- "Star History" section requesting stars
- "Made with ❤️" footer
- Time estimates ("2 minutes", "5 minutes")
- "Use Cases" marketing section
- "Real-World Examples" section
- "Coming Soon" teaser section
- Horizontal dividers
- Emoji bullets throughout

Added:
- Simple, factual Features section

Cleaned up:
- Fixed remaining badge URLs (cpfarhood → privilegedescalation)
- Fixed tarball filename (0.2.0 → 0.2.4)
- Removed marketing language throughout

Result: 108 lines removed, 47 lines added
README is now professional, factual, and focused on technical content.

A comprehensive [Headlamp](https://headlamp.dev) plugin for managing [Bitnami Sealed Secrets](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets) with **client-side encryption** and **RBAC-aware UI**.
## ✨ Highlights
## Features
### 🔒 Security First
- **Client-Side Encryption**: RSA-OAEP + AES-256-GCM in browser (plaintext never transmitted)
- **Type-Safe**: Branded types prevent mixing plaintext/encrypted values at compile-time
- **RBAC-Aware UI**: Shows/hides actions based on your Kubernetes permissions
- **Certificate Validation**: Automatic expiry detection with 30-day warnings
- Client-side encryption using RSA-OAEP + AES-256-GCM
- List, view, create, and manage SealedSecrets
- View and download sealing key certificates
- Decrypt sealed values (requires RBAC permissions)
- RBAC-aware UI adapts to user permissions
- Support for all three scoping modes (strict, namespace-wide, cluster-wide)
- Type-safe implementation with branded types
- 92% test coverage
### 💻 Developer Experience
- **Full TypeScript**: Result types + branded types for compile-time safety
- **92% Test Coverage**: Comprehensive unit and integration tests
- **Well-Documented**: 15+ guides, tutorials, ADRs, and troubleshooting docs
- **Performance Optimized**: React hooks, memoization, skeleton loading
### ♿ Accessibility
- **WCAG 2.1 AA Compliant**: Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation
- **Screen Reader Support**: Descriptive labels and live regions
## Quick Start
### 🛠️ Additional Features
- **Health Monitoring**: Real-time controller status checks
- **Input Validation**: Kubernetes-compliant name/value validation
- **Retry Logic**: Exponential backoff with jitter for resilient API calls
- **Error Handling**: User-friendly error messages with context
