Discord invite codes in README and CONTRIBUTING.md are expired #279

Description

@kimjune01

Issue

The Discord invite codes linked from the project are dead. Verified against the Discord API:

Location Code API response
README.md (badge link, alt text) dAuKfZS {"message":"Invite is expired.","code":50270}
CONTRIBUTING.md 8TW9nfF {"message":"Unknown Invite","code":10006}

Reproduce:

curl -s https://discord.com/api/v9/invites/dAuKfZS
curl -s https://discord.com/api/v9/invites/8TW9nfF

Both return non-2xx error bodies as shown above (50270 = expired, 10006 = unknown/revoked).

Impact

The README badge advertises a "join us on Discord" link that dead-ends. CONTRIBUTING.md compounds this for first-time contributors who follow the doc. There's also an alt-text bug: the badge image alt currently reads "Embark" rather than "Discord", which screen readers will announce incorrectly.

What I'd need to fix this

A working Discord invite code (or a permanent invite URL) from someone with server membership at the EmbarkStudios Discord. Once you can supply that, I'm happy to open a PR that updates both `README.md` (link + alt text) and `CONTRIBUTING.md` in one change. Without a live invite I can verify hits Discord successfully, any code I'd put in is a guess.
