A third of queries (by query hash) search Firecrawl first and the rest Brave, so Firecrawl's free 500 searches a
month and Brave's ~1,000 run out together. Each falls back to the other on an error or no results. Searches that
find nothing serve bad.webp, both providers failing serves donate.webp, and AI images only fill ?i= past a search's
working images. A Firecrawl query's ?i= past 10 serves an AI image without searching.

Brave errors (e.g. its spending limit being hit) now fall back to Bing
like empty results do, with the error in a Brave Unavailable alert. If
Bing fails too (HTTP error or a page without results, which for Bing
means it's blocking us), a new papercraft donate.webp is served instead
of an AI image, and nothing is cached so the query works once either
search is back.

A "Get Updates" form subscribes emails to the direct-img pool on
newsletter.planetrenox.com, behind the shared "newsletter" Turnstile
widget (direct-img.link was added to its allowed domains). The privacy
policy now covers what sign-up stores and the Turnstile script.

- free.direct-img.link serves only unrestricted (public domain/CC0) images
from Openverse (license=cc0,pdm) and Wikimedia Commons
(haslicense:unrestricted), with optional ?src=openverse|wikimedia
- ?i=1..20 picks the i-th working image on both sites; broken links are
skipped so every index is a different image
- Openverse OAuth token is cached in KV and refreshed automatically
- Skip Flickr "photo unavailable" placeholders (served with HTTP 200)
- Free/indexed cache keys use uppercase prefixes; plain main-site keys
are unchanged so existing cache entries stay valid
- Update README, homepage, privacy policy and terms
