Pull request overview
Documentation-only update to the Release Integrity section in README.md. Removes the inaccurate claim that git tags are GPG-signed and adds documentation for verifying npm provenance attestations.
Changes:
- Reword opening line to drop the unsupported "git tag" signing claim.
- Clarify the Note to specify "No GPG verification" (since npm provenance verification is now available).
- Add a new subsection describing how to verify npm provenance via
npm audit signatures.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
