Closes #61 by giving its content the home that did not exist when it was written.

#61 proposed a download-count badge and said, in its own words, that it "is a recommendation, not part of the required badge block and not an additional condition for P08". It was written on 2026-09-16 — a week before the Recommendations section existed — so it had to be optional prose inside the criterion it was careful not to change.

Now it is REC-02, and being a recommendation is stated by where it sits rather than by a sentence asking the reader to treat it that way.

The substance is unchanged. The caveat from #61 is kept and sharpened: GitHub counts asset downloads rather than unique users or installations, and checksum downloads are in the total, so the number is a direction and not a figure.

Version

Patch — and the first change to use the rule the Recommendations section states: a recommendation produces no result, so no recorded result can change.

The version in #61 was 1.11.2, now three versions stale, which is the other reason to land this fresh rather than rebase it.

Validation

standard.py --check, conformance.py --check, links.py, 159 tests, Ruff, markdownlint — all green.

Pull request #61 proposed a download-count badge and said, in its own words,
that it "is a recommendation, not part of the required badge block and not an
additional condition for P08". It was written on 2026-09-16, a week before there
was anywhere to put a recommendation, so it had to be optional prose inside the
criterion it was careful not to change.

There is somewhere now. The content is unchanged in substance; only its home is
different, and being a recommendation is stated by where it sits rather than by
a sentence asking the reader to treat it that way.

The caveat from #61 is kept and sharpened: GitHub counts asset downloads rather
than unique users or installations, and checksum downloads are in the total, so
the number is a direction and not a figure.

Patch, which is the first use of the rule the Recommendations section states: a
recommendation produces no result, so no recorded result can change. The version
in #61 was 1.11.2 and is now three versions stale, which is the other reason to
land it fresh rather than rebase it.
