Noticed a URL

(dummy text fillers so no one would click it)

hXXps://www.mempalace[.]tech/

Though the README currently warns, it is perhaps best to surface it at urgency level at the top of the README.

Checklist

  • Tests pass (python -m pytest tests/ -v)
  • No hardcoded paths
  • Linter passes (ruff check .)

> [!CAUTION]
> **SCAM ALERT:** MemPalace does **not** have an official website. Any site claiming to be MemPalace (including .tech, .io, or .com, etc. domains) is fake and likely contains malware.

Replace the blanket ban on .tech/.io/.com domains with an allowlist
of real MemPalace surfaces (GitHub repo, PyPI, mempalaceofficial.com)
and call out mempalace.tech as the reported impostor. The blanket
.com ban would have flagged mempalaceofficial.com as fake once DNS
resolves (CNAME shipped in MemPalace#877).

Also update the April 11 follow-up section to match so the two
notices no longer contradict each other.
