Subject: [PATCH] fix(fermata): .botignore as fallback root, not ignored;
 extract SVGs to files
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Walk-up: .botignore no longer stops the search but is remembered as a
  fallback when no strong marker (.git, botignore.toml, .botignore.toml)
  is found — prevents fail-open regression for projects without .git
- Extract inline SVGs to policy-layers.svg and architecture.svg
- READMEs reference SVGs via <img> tags
