What it looks like now

The README opens with the logo rendered at 734×246 on a desktop viewport — a wall of logo before a single word of text — followed by eight badges of ragged widths.

The logo is an SVG with no intrinsic width, so GitHub stretches it to the full width of the README column. It also uses the #gh-light-mode-only / #gh-dark-mode-only fragment hack, which GitHub has since superseded with <picture> and prefers-color-scheme.

Changes

Logo → a <picture> element at a fixed width="340". Bounds the logo (now 340×114, measured on the branch) and drops the hack in the same move. Light and dark variants still switch.

Badges → eight down to six. Two carried no information:

  • Open Source links to opensource.org and says what the Apache-2.0 badge directly beside it already says.
  • Status: Active is a hand-set claim rather than a measurement — the commit-activity badge next to it is the real thing, and this one was also served over plain http://.

The remaining six are ordered identity → health → support: release, licence, commit activity, OpenSSF Best Practices, OpenSSF Scorecard, commercial support. The licence badge now points at LICENSE in this repository rather than at opensource.org.

Also removed trailing whitespace on lines where it did nothing. The deliberate two-space line breaks in the use-case list are untouched.

Verification

Rendered on the branch and measured in the browser: logo 340×114, six badges, light and dark variants both resolving.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the README logo for light and dark modes.
    • Reorganized project badges, updated LICENSE and commit activity links, and added a CLOMonitor badge.
    • Removed the Open Source and Active badges.
    • Revised introductory, contribution, and community information.
    • Updated the Semantic Versioning link and removed the Roadmap link.
    • Added a project documents table and CNCF/Kubernetes community channels.

The logo is an SVG with no intrinsic width, so GitHub rendered it at the
full width of the README column -- 734x246 on a desktop viewport, a wall
of logo before a single word of text. It also used the
#gh-light-mode-only / #gh-dark-mode-only fragment hack, which GitHub has
since superseded with <picture> and prefers-color-scheme.

Replaced with a <picture> element at a fixed 340px, which both bounds the
logo and drops the hack.

The badge block had eight entries of ragged widths. Two carried no
information: 'Open Source' says what the Apache-2.0 badge beside it
already says, and a hand-set 'Status: Active' is a claim rather than a
measurement -- the commit-activity badge next to it is the real thing,
and the static one was also served over plain http. Both removed.

The remaining six are ordered identity, then health, then support, and
the licence badge now points at the LICENSE file rather than at
opensource.org.

Logo and badge updates
README.md
The logo uses light- and dark-mode image tags. The badge row removes two badges, updates badge links, and adds a CLOMonitor badge. The introductory text now describes the project as free and open-source and as a CNCF Sandbox project.
Project information and community links
README.md
The README uses HTTPS for the Semantic Versioning link, removes the Roadmap bullet, revises contribution wording, adds CNCF and Kubernetes Slack channels, and adds a project documents table.

The logo works on GitHub, but the requested portable light/dark image markup is not implemented and other Markdown renderers may show both variants.

Reverted the <picture> element. #gh-light-mode-only keys off GitHub's
account theme; prefers-color-scheme keys off the OS. They diverge for
anyone who pins a GitHub theme rather than syncing with the system, and
the combination 'OS dark, GitHub light' renders the white logo on white.
The fragment form is correct in all four combinations. Kept the width
attribute, which was the actual fix -- the logo stretched to 734px
because the SVG has no intrinsic width, not because of the fragment.

Also from review:
- /docs/roadmap/ on the website is a 404; linked ROADMAP.md instead.
- Added a project-documents table. The README linked one of the eight
  policy files in the repository root; governance, code of conduct,
  security policy and adopters are what a newcomer and a CNCF reviewer
  both look for first.
- Added both Slack channels. The community section listed Telegram only,
  while the CNCF-hosted #cozystack channel went unmentioned.
- Added the CLOMonitor badge, the standard CNCF project-health signal.
  It currently reports A.
- semver.org was the one remaining plain-http link, which sat oddly next
  to dropping a badge for the same reason.
- The commit-activity badge linked to the contributors graph.
- 'free platform' reads as price now that the Open Source badge is gone.
- 'CNCF Sandbox Level Project' is legacy phrasing.
- Fixed an ungrammatical sentence in Contributions.

Comment thread README.md Outdated
Final review nits: the project-documents table had an empty header row
that GitHub renders as a blank band, ROADMAP ended up linked twice once
the table landed, and one sentence in Contributions still read wrong.

Both Slack channel links assume the reader is already in the workspace;
anonymously they just 403. Added the invite link beside each, so someone
arriving from the README can actually get in: cncf-slack.netlify.app for
CNCF Slack and slack.kubernetes.io for Kubernetes Slack. Both verified.

Replace the GitHub-only logo fragments with a <picture> element.

The current two <img> elements do not meet the change requirement for portable light/dark logo selection. Use <picture> with prefers-color-scheme sources and retain the black logo as the fallback.
