Why

README.md, README.it.md, README.jp.md, README.zh.md are hand-maintained side-by-side. Every README change means editing the same paragraph in 4 places — easy to miss one and let drift creep in.

This PR migrates all four files to a single source-of-truth template using Nanolaba Readme Generator (NRG). Combined with nanolaba/nrg-action@v1, regeneration happens in CI on every push to master — no toolchain locally, just YAML.

What changes

  • New: README.src.md — the unified source. Each line is tagged with <!--<lang>--> so it appears only in that language's output. Generated programmatically from the existing four files; outputs are byte-identical to today's files (modulo a 2-line auto-generated header).
  • New: .github/workflows/nrg.yml — runs nanolaba/nrg-action@v1 (pinned to NRG 1.1):
    • Push to master touching README.src.md or workflow → regenerates and auto-commits.
    • PR touching any README*.md or template → drift check (mode: check) — fails with unified diff when a contributor edits a generated file directly.
  • Modified: all 4 README files — regenerated. The only change is the 2-line auto-generated header at the top.

Verification

Locally, regenerating with NRG 1.1 from Maven Central against current master produces output that diffs against the originals only by the 2-line auto-generated header. Zero functional content change.

What's intentionally NOT in this PR

  • Translation alignment. Today's content lives unchanged in README.src.md. Future PRs can extract shared structural elements into shared regions of the template.
  • Nothing in the mediago source/build is touched.

How to regenerate locally

```bash
curl -L -o nrg.jar https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/nanolaba/readme-generator/1.1/readme-generator-1.1.jar
java -jar nrg.jar -f README.src.md
```

About NRG

`com.nanolaba:readme-generator` — open-source, Apache 2.0, Java 8+. Ships as CLI, Maven plugin, GitHub Action, and library. Zero local toolchain needed when used through the action.

Replaces 4 hand-maintained READMEs (en + it/jp/zh) with a single
README.src.md, regenerated in CI by nanolaba/nrg-action@v1 on push
to master. All 4 outputs are byte-identical to the originals
(modulo a 2-line auto-generated header NRG injects at the top).

Drift-check job runs in mode: check on PRs that touch any README*.md
or the template, failing the build with a unified diff when a
contributor edits a generated file directly.
