Resolve the missing top-level heading warning.
README.md still begins with <img>, so markdownlint rule MD041 remains violated. Add a top-level heading before this image, or add a narrowly scoped exception if the image must remain the first rendered element.

💡 What: Added
role="presentation"to<table>elements and converted purely decorative markdown images to HTML<img>tags witharia-hidden="true"and an emptyaltattribute.🎯 Why: When tables are used purely for visual layout rather than tabular data (which is a common practice in GitHub profile READMEs due to lack of flexbox support), screen readers often announce them as complex data tables. This creates significant auditory noise for visually impaired users. By marking them as purely presentational and ensuring decorative bounding elements are hidden from screen readers, the actual content of the profile is made much more accessible.
📸 Before/After: Visually, the rendered markdown remains completely unchanged, but the underlying DOM and accessibility tree is streamlined.
♿ Accessibility: Prevents screen readers from interpreting visual layouts as semantic tables and ignores decorative images, greatly reducing noise during page navigation.
