Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• img.shields.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -sI REDACTED (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -I -L --max-time 10 REDACTED (dns block)
  • Triggering command: /usr/bin/curl curl -s -o /dev/null -w %{http_code} REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Due Date: November 13-14, 2025 (48 hours after PyPI publish)
Priority: High

Background

We temporarily simplified README badges while PyPI and badge services index the newly published empathy-framework package. Dynamic badges should be restored once indexing is complete.

Checklist

• Test badge URLs to verify they're indexed (see test commands below)
• Replace simplified badges in README.md with full dynamic badges
• Verify all badges display correctly on GitHub
• Commit and push changes
• Delete BADGES_REMINDER.md
• Delete TODO_BADGES.md
• Close this issue

Test Commands

Run these to check if badges are ready:

```bash

Should return HTTP 200 if ready

curl -I https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/empathy-framework.svg
curl -I https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/empathy-framework.svg
curl -I https://img.shields.io/pypi/dm/empathy-framework.svg
```

Badges to Restore

Replace the current simplified badges section with:

```markdown
