* feat(web): overhaul SEO structure and landing pages
Add distro-specific install pages and an engine comparison hub to capture high-intent organic queries. Centralize metadata and structured data handling to improve crawl consistency, internal linking, and rich-result eligibility.
* feat(web): add subpage navigation and visual polish
Make SEO landing pages easier to discover and navigate by adding persistent subpage header/footer links to home and key routes. Refresh install and comparison pages with colorful icon-driven sections while expanding homepage footer links for stronger internal linking.

Drop the internal SEO audit markdown from the PR so only production website and workflow changes are included.

* feat(web): Add live demo, improve logo and install UX
Changes:
- Use actual app logo SVG image for consistent branding
- Added live browser-based speech recognition demo using Web Speech API
- Allows users to try voice-to-text directly in their browser
- Clear indication that the demo uses cloud-based Web Speech API

* fix(web): Remove duplicate DictationOverlay that conflicted with LiveDemo
The old DictationOverlay was still responding to double-tap Ctrl alongside

LiveDemo now handles double-tap Ctrl detection internally.
