Jatin K MalikandGitHub f7147bdb44 fix(web): SEO fixes from Search Console and Lighthouse audit (#1039)
* fix(web): SEO fixes from Search Console and Lighthouse audit

Technical:
- Emit BreadcrumbList JSON-LD from the same trail as the visual breadcrumbs
  on every SeoSubpageShell page.
- absoluteUrl() no longer appends a trailing slash to file paths. The
  Organization and publisher logo URLs pointed at /vocalinux.png/, a 404.
- Fetch the GitHub star count once at build time in next.config.js and
  drop the client-side api.github.com fetch and preconnect (Lighthouse
  "third-party code" on every page). Falls back to the "GitHub" label.
- Fix h1 -> h3 heading skips on 11 pages by promoting the leading card
  headings to h2; new .subpage-card-title keeps the old h3 sizing.
- Header and footer logo get alt="" next to the visible "Vocalinux" text.
- Footer links every guide, distro and feature page, so the pages added in
  #1038 and /vs-nerd-dictation/ (Discovered, not indexed) and /writers/
  (no inbound links) are linked sitewide.

Titles and descriptions:
- Rewrite titles/descriptions for pages with high impressions and low CTR
  in Search Console (home, FAQ, compare, languages, open-source, GPU,
  alternatives, offline, install) to lead with the queries they rank for.
- Distro pages use "<Distro> Speech to Text: Offline Voice Typing Setup"
  as the search title; the on-page h1 is unchanged.
- Remove brand repetition and shorten 75+ character titles.
- Bump sitemap lastmod for the rewritten pages.

* fix(web): keep home install card titles styled

The home page's install cards still use h3; only /install/ moved to h2.
Style both so the home cards keep their size and spacing.

Jatin K MalikandGitHub 25ceec017d web: restyle vocalinux.com to the Voca family workbench (#728)
* web: restyle vocalinux.com to the Voca family workbench

Bring the Linux marketing site onto the same paper, ink, and teal language
as VocaHQ, VocaMac, VocaPhone, and VocaGateway. Drop the site-wide dark
mode so the canvas stays paper-only, matching the other product sites.

* web: loop the home ribbon without a gap or jump

The ticker used a stretched full-width track, so a -50% slide left an empty
right edge before snapping back. Two equal groups, each wider than the
viewport, scroll by exactly one group width.

* web: match vocahq.com ribbon speed and teal band

The looped ticker was covering six item cycles in 32s, so it raced.
It now spends 28s per cycle like vocahq.com, uses the same dark-teal
band, and pauses when the tab is hidden.

* web: drive the hero panel clock from the visitor's local time

Replace the static 11:24 mock with a 24-hour HH:MM clock in the client
timezone, updated on the minute.

* web: add official platform marks on the family cards

Use the .github brand platform SVGs (Linux, Apple, Android, Windows)
plus the HQ server mark for VocaGateway, matching vocahq.com's product row.

* web: restore a Light/Dark flip on the screenshots page

The captured GTK shots exist in both appearances. A page-local switch
defaults to prefers-color-scheme and stores a tab override. The rest of
the site stays paper-only.

* web: make the homepage CTA say Install, not Get

The button already jumps to the one-line installer. Name that action,
note that there is no account, and keep the same copy in the closer
and the mobile menu.

* web: style install commands as GTK terminals

Command boxes use a headerbar with copy, a centered title, and
window controls on the right. The prompt is user@linux:~$, not
Mac traffic-light chrome.

* web: stop repeating the engine list in the hero

The proof line, the notes window, and the tray terminal all said
the same whisper.cpp / Whisper / VOSK / Remote API line. Engines
stay on the window chips. Proof is now desktop and license facts.
The terminal shows launching into the tray.

* web: reflow copy, color prompts, and add install paths

Drop pretty/balance wrapping so titles and ledes follow the
shell width. Color the user@linux prompt. Hero terminal now
says audio stays on this machine. Ribbon adds project words.
AppImage and source-build sit under the install command.

* web: put X, Discord, and GitHub by the footer mark

Official family social marks sit next to the Vocalinux logo.
Footer columns are Product, Install, Guides, and Project.
The bottom line is Part of VocaHQ, without X11 or whisper.cpp.

* web: add hello@vocahq.com to the footer social row

The official mail mark sits with X, Discord, and GitHub and opens
the family hello@vocahq.com address.

* web: use the circular mark in the header and footer

Header and footer now use the official teal circle lockup instead
of the square app icon.

* web: ship a circular favicon and a family OG card

Favicons use the teal circle lockup. The Open Graph image is redone
in the paper workbench language with the current homepage line.

* web: set the hero to Dictate locally / In any app

Shorter couplet in the VocaHQ display size, with a matching
lede and Open Graph card.

* web: gray the hero terminal note as a comment

The second line was reading as part of the vocalinux command.
It is now a dim # comment under the prompt.
