docs(readme): add hero/diff GIFs + Origin narrative
Hero GIF (520x484, 12.5s) drops in below the status line; Diff window gets its own mini-section with a separate GIF. Origin section frames gitwink as the post-agent replacement for VS Code+GitLens. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

**Status:** v0.1 — usable. Cold-start friendly tray app.

gitwink lives in your system tray. Click it to glance at recent commit

activity across **all** your local repos. It is **not** a git client — it
911
cannot commit, push, merge, or modify anything. Read-only by design.

## Origin
14+
15+
I used to live in VS Code with GitLens pinned. The branch graph,
16+
heat-mapped blame, the lens annotations — that *was* my git workflow.
17+
Then 2025 happened. With Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex doing the
18+
actual editing, the editor itself became optional. The only thing
19+
dragging me back was GitLens.
20+
21+
That felt wasteful — booting an entire IDE just to peek at commit
22+
history. The agent runs the git commands now; I only need to
23+
sanity-check the result, occasionally, when something looks off.
24+
gitwink is the smallest possible tool for *that* loop — a tray icon
25+
that expands into a glance, hands the commit off as AI context, and
26+
gets out of the way.
27+
28+
No commit. No push. No merge. If I need git surgery, I tell the agent.

## Diff window
75+
76+
For the *"wait, did the agent actually do that?"* moments. Click any
77+
commit and a separate window opens — full file sidebar, side-by-side
78+
diff with synchronised scroll, inline image preview for binary assets,
79+
and a singleton that remembers position, size, and maximised state.
