Replaced broken shields.io marketplace badges with working vsmarketplacebadges.dev endpoints.
Wrapped all badges in anchor tags to fix navigation issues and ensure they open the correct links.


This changes visible behavior in README.md.

The following changes are proposed:

  • Replaced broken shields.io marketplace badge URL's with reliable vsmarketplacebadges.dev endpoints.
  • Wrapped all badges in anchor tags (<a>) to ensure they navigate to the correct URLs when clicked.
  • Updated the 'Closed Issues' badge link.

The purpose of this change

The previous badge implementation used &link= parameters inside the src attribute, which caused browser navigation issues (the image itself opened in a new tab instead of the target page). This change ensures proper redirection and fixes broken/outdate marketplace badge sources.

Replaced broken shields.io marketplace badges with working vsmarketplacebadges.dev endpoints.
