Repo Conventions

README sections — every indexed repo should carry these headers for babb-admin to parse:

## What is it?
## The Problem
## How it Works
## Current Status
## The Vision
## Industry Context

GitHub topics — use these to control heybabb indexing:

Topic	Effect
babb-tool	Full deep scan — all README slots parsed
babb-featured	Babb leads with this in introductions
babb-standard	Spec/standard repo — indexed as standard category
babb-vision	Strategic — Babb speaks to direction, not features
babb-internal	Infrastructure — brief mention only

babb-admin (private) is the source of truth for all heybabb content. company-character (public) is the generic version. babb-admin improvements should be backported to company-character.
