SUGGESTION: npm badge style is inconsistent with other badges in the row

The npm badge uses img.shields.io with ?style=flat-square while all other badges use raster.shields.io with ?style=flat and height="20". This creates a visual mismatch in the badge row.

Consider aligning to the same style as the other badges:

• Use raster.shields.io instead of img.shields.io
• Use ?style=flat instead of ?style=flat-square
• Add height="20" for consistent sizing
