Subject: [PATCH] Add end-of-file acknowledgements for sponsors, developers,
 and LinuxDo community

README updates now place a unified acknowledgement section near the end (before License) in both English and Chinese, explicitly thanking sponsors, developers/contributors, and the LinuxDo community with a neutral non-endorsement disclaimer.

Constraint: Keep existing sponsor/developer showcase blocks intact while adding final acknowledgement wording

Rejected: Put acknowledgement near top profile blocks | user requested end-of-file placement

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep acknowledgement wording neutral and avoid implying official affiliation

Tested: Manual README markdown diff review

Not-tested: Render preview in GitHub UI

 - Verify on a clean macOS box: permission flow, hotkey, recording, ASR, polish, insertion, clipboard fallback.
 - Push a `v<version>-tauri` tag — CI builds + signs the updater artifacts and the macOS `.dmg` + Windows `.msi`. The updater needs `TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY` repo secret (matching the pubkey in `tauri.conf.json`).
