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.

They were kept for 24h so a later search could replace them, but that
regenerated them daily for no real gain. Searches where the AI image also
fails are still remembered for 24h as bad.webp. With one TTL for all images
again, the per-image ttl stored in KV and R2 is no longer needed.

ai.direct-img.link serves images from the AuroraIMG-6M API on our Dokploy
server (github.com/direct-img/AuroraIMG-6M) instead of searching. It takes
?src= (auroraimg-6m, case-insensitive, the default and only source for now)
and ?i=, where each i gets its own seed derived from the query, so it's a
different image of the same prompt. It has its own daily limit
(AI_DAILY_LIMIT) and AI: cache keys / ai/ R2 prefix. Failed generations
aren't cached, since they're likely temporary.
On direct-img.link and free.direct-img.link, a search that finds nothing (or
fewer than i working images) now serves an AI image of the query instead of
bad.webp. It's kept for 24h like failures were, so a later search can still
find a real image; bad.webp is only served if the AI image fails too. Its ttl
is stored in KV and R2 metadata so cache hits and deduped waiters send a
matching max-age.

Add _routes.json so /, /robots.txt and /assets/* skip the worker and
don't count against the Functions request quota. rate-limit.js moves to
assets/ so the homepage reads it client-side instead of via HTMLRewriter.

Free searches never spend Brave credits, so they no longer share the
main site's 35/day counter. Main-site rate ids are unchanged.

- 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
