Fixes

• Fixes Link latest report from repository README #311 by @TimidRobot

Description

This PR addresses #311 by linking the latest quarterly report directly from the root README.md and updating scripts/3-report/zzz-notes.py so the link is refreshed automatically when new reports are generated.
The ## Latest report section is placed immediately after ## Overview so visitors can access the latest report right away without needing to dig or scroll past setup instructions.

Technical details

• Added a ## Latest report section to the root README.md wrapped with <!-- LATEST_REPORT start --> and <!-- LATEST_REPORT end --> markers.
• Added latest_report(args) in scripts/3-report/zzz-notes.py that:
  • Runs only when --enable-save is set.
  • Determines the latest available report by checking quarters in data/ that have a completed README.md report.
  • Skips updating the root README.md if the target quarter is older than the latest available report.
  • Replaces the link between the comment markers with the current quarter link.
• Updated main() in zzz-notes.py to stage and commit the updated root README.md when --enable-git is used, ensuring git status is preserved across both commits.
• Kept all line lengths within the 79-character limit for flake8 compliance.

Tests

• Verified dry-run behavior (--enable-save omitted) leaves README.md unchanged.
• Tested running zzz-notes.py with --quarter 2026Q3 --enable-save and confirmed it updates the root README.md link to the Q3 report.
• Tested running zzz-notes.py with an older quarter (2026Q2) and confirmed it logs that the quarter is older and skips updating the root README.md.
• Ran flake8 scripts/3-report/zzz-notes.py (0 errors).
• Ran git diff --check (clean).
