docs(readme): move scam/retention alerts below header, soften tone - #1608

Conversation
The scam-alert and Claude-Code-retention admonitions were the first content visitors saw on the repo page — louder than the project introduction. Moves both below the logo/title/badges so the project identity reads first, and softens the scam block (drops the H1 "CRITICAL SECURITY WARNING" + all-caps shouting + redundant emoji) to a single-paragraph CAUTION. All factual content preserved: impostor-domain warning, official sources, malware caveat, link to docs/HISTORY.md.

Pull request overview
Reorders and rewrites the README’s top-of-page alerts so the project header (logo/title/summary) is the first visible content, while keeping the scam and Claude Code retention notices prominent but less “shouty”.
Changes:
- Moves the CAUTION (scam/impostor-site) and IMPORTANT (Claude Code retention) admonitions below the centered header block.
- Consolidates/softens the scam warning copy into a single-paragraph CAUTION block and removes redundant alarm styling in the retention notice.

Code Review
This pull request relocates and condenses the security warning and Claude Code session notice within the README.md file, moving them from the top of the document to a position below the header section. The review feedback suggests wrapping the long lines in these newly added blocks to adhere to a 100-character line limit, which will improve readability and maintainability.

The added [!CAUTION] block is currently a single very long line (465 characters). Following the project's preference for a 100-character line limit (as mentioned in CONTRIBUTING.md), wrapping this text would significantly improve maintainability and make future diffs easier to read in line-based tools.

The [!IMPORTANT] block also contains lines exceeding the 100-character limit. Wrapping these lines improves readability and adheres to the repository's formatting guidelines.
