docs(branding): collect ASCII study assets with README

Move the four leftover ASCII variants from the repo root into
HellionChat/images/ascii/ and add a README that explains which two
files are embedded in the plugin DLL versus which ones stay as study
material. The original paw file was split into a stipple version and
an outline version because the two paws were stacked in one source.

- wolf-head-blazejkozlowski.txt is by Blazej Kozlowski, originally
  published on asciiart.eu, kept as a style reference

# Hellion Chat — ASCII branding assets
ASCII art collected during the Hellion Chat branding pass. Two variants
ship inside the plugin DLL as embedded resources and render at runtime;
everything in this folder is the wider study collection that did not get
picked for the live slots, kept around as reference material and for
anyone who wants to remix or build on top of them.
## Live assets (rendered at runtime)
These two files live as embedded resources under
`HellionChat/Resources/Branding/` and are loaded by the plugin at
startup. They are intentionally outside this folder so the build
pipeline can treat them as binary blobs rather than loose assets.
| File | Slot |
|---|---|
| `Resources/Branding/fox-banner.txt` | Full fox silhouette with "Hellion Forge" set inside the body. Rendered as a folded `TreeNode` in the First-Run Wizard and in the Settings → Information tab. |
| `Resources/Branding/fox-mini.txt` | Compact fox-head + curly-tail. Prepended to the DI-logger bootstrap banner so an `/xllog` reader sees the signature on every plugin load. |
## Study assets (this folder, not embedded)
Variants drawn during the design pass that did not get picked for the
live slots. Kept around so the next branding iteration can remix them
or pull one in if a new render slot needs an alternative shape.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| `fox-profile-hf.txt` | Fox profile silhouette in `$`/`X` stipple with a small "HF" mark inside the chest. |
| `fox-sitting-stipple.txt` | Sitting fox in `&` stipple with a full tail sweep to the right. |
| `fox-paw-stipple.txt` | Detailed paw print in `@` stipple — five upper pads plus the main pad. |
| `fox-paw-outline.txt` | Compact outline paw with `^` claw marks (non-retractable claws are a fox-vs-cat tell). |
| `wolf-head-blazejkozlowski.txt` | Wolf head, kept as inspiration / style reference. **Not by Julia Moon** — see the attribution section below. |
## License / attribution
### Julia Moon (all `fox-*.txt` files)
All `fox-*.txt` files in this folder and under `Resources/Branding/`
were drawn for Hellion Chat by **Julia Moon**.
- Free to use, no attribution required, no copyright notice needed.
- Remix, adapt, or build on top of them as you wish.
- They travel under Hellion Chat's main EUPL-1.2 license but the
author waives the attribution clause for these specific assets.
### Blazej Kozlowski (`wolf-head-blazejkozlowski.txt`)
The wolf head is by **Blazej Kozlowski**, originally published on the
ASCII Art Archive:
<https://www.asciiart.eu/art/2717ef726b5e8ea6>
It is kept here as a study reference for the fox silhouette work.
The "bug" string at the bottom of the art is the artist's traditional
signature, not a status marker. If you want to use it yourself, follow
the rules on asciiart.eu rather than the Julia Moon waiver above.
