Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 5 ab8ef2aa23 Say how the project is run, and ask better bug questions
The bug form now asks what JP's Discord post asks: how often it happens, whether
there's a workaround, what hardware you're on, and which companion device — with
the note that "a Xiao" doesn't narrow anything down. Three things his post didn't
cover got added: the MeshTerm version, whether it still happens under `--mock`
(which splits an app bug from a radio bug before anyone spends an evening on it),
and whether you're on the regular or PicoCalc look, since those draw differently
enough that a bug in one often doesn't exist in the other.

The README gains the part that was missing: what to expect from a maintainer
doing this on evenings and weekends. Issues welcome, ask before opening a pull
request, no promised timelines, and a nudge on a quiet issue is fine. Report on
GitHub or on Discord, whichever you have — the real ones get moved across either
way, and being told beats filing it tidily.

Install is rewritten for someone who wants to run MeshTerm rather than work on
it. It said `pip install -e ".[dev]"`, which is a contributor's command and puts
pytest and ruff on the machine of somebody who just wants to talk to a radio. Now
it's one pip line, a pipx alternative, `--mock` for people without a radio yet,
and an honest "coming" list for installers and PyPI.

Badges now include CI, the licence and Discord, so they say something checkable
rather than only decorating. The two survey documents get a line at the top
saying they're a snapshot of a date, not a to-do list.
