Establish Patreon as an additional funding channel and integrate it with GitHub via FUNDING.yml.

This expands monetization beyond GitHub Sponsors and enables:

• tiered support
• recurring subscriptions
• community engagement

• Define sustainable support tiers
• Integrate Patreon into GitHub funding system
• Ensure consistent messaging across platforms

Phase 2 — Tier Design

• Define support tiers (e.g.):
  • supporter
  • contributor
  • collaborator
• Define benefits:

Phase 3 — GitHub Integration

• Add Patreon username to:
