The repo already avoids publishing features publicly, but it still lacked explicit guidance for the remaining GitHub-side step: changing repository visibility. This update adds a short README section that tells maintainers exactly where to find that setting and how to use it.

  • README: repository visibility instructions

    • adds a dedicated section for making the repo fully private in GitHub
    • documents the exact navigation path: SettingsGeneralDanger ZoneChange repository visibility
    • includes the final action (Make private) and the confirmation requirement
  • README: wording alignment

    • updates the private-use note to describe the intended repository state without implying the GitHub visibility setting is already applied
    • keeps the note near the top of the README, after the repo description, for quick discoverability
  • README: admin-access caveat

    • notes that missing Settings / visibility controls usually means the viewer does not have admin permissions
## How to make the GitHub repository private
