Pull Request – Simulation Only

Summary

This PR adds structured GitHub issue templates and enhances both English and German README documentation:

New Files:

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml — Guided bug report form with fields for affected script, error description, reproduction steps, environment, and pre-submission checks.
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml — Feature request template capturing problem statement, proposed solution, and alternatives.
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml — Issue template configuration disabling blank issues and providing contact links to documentation and discussions.

Documentation Updates:

  • README.md — Added "Why this repo?" section highlighting key features (one-command install, VM/LXC support, self-updating, security, auto-sized JVM, CI-linted, bilingual docs), table of contents with section links, and star history chart.
  • README.de.md — Parallel German translation of the new sections with identical structure and content.

These changes improve issue triage by standardizing bug and feature submissions, reduce duplicate issues through better documentation discoverability, and make the project more approachable to new users.

Checklist

  • No commands executed locally; all steps are simulated/explained only.
  • Changes are limited to documentation and GitHub configuration files.
  • No SIMULATION.md update needed (no behavioral or risk changes to scripts).
  • No new scripts or security considerations introduced.

Testing (Simulation)

Expected side effects when deployed:

  • GitHub will display the new issue templates in the "New Issue" UI, guiding users to fill structured forms instead of blank issues.
  • Blank issues will be disabled; users will see contact links to troubleshooting docs and discussions.
  • README will render with improved navigation (table of contents) and visual appeal (star history chart).
  • No local files, services, or ports affected.

Rollback: Simply delete the .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory and revert README changes to restore previous behavior.

Improve README first-impression and navigation, and lower the barrier
for community contributions to help the project attract more stars:

- Add a '✨ Why this repo?' feature highlight section (EN + DE)
- Add a Table of Contents to both READMEs
- Add a Star History chart + call-to-action section (EN + DE)
- Add GitHub issue templates (bug report, feature request, config)
