Analytics has no query string, so a WAF custom rule logs image requests with
theirs and promote.js splits each path's views across its variants. The
rewrite names static files after the param values (/orange%2Bcat/i2-), since
the static file server redirects names with = or &. Drops the legacy
/free/5/x paths and the /1/ segment.

Rule conditions see the original path, so chained rules can't encode +s. One
rule per number of +s does it instead, which only fits the free plan's 10
rules if they're shared by all sites, so static files now live under their
hostname (/free.direct-img.link/1/orange%2Bcat).

Static assets don't count toward the free plan's 100,000 requests a day, so a
daily GitHub Action promotes the most viewed images (by Cloudflare analytics)
from R2 into public/ before deploying, and reports to ntfy. Zone rules fold
the site and ?i= into the path, since static files ignore query strings.
