Replace Next.js 16 + React 19 with Astro 5. Same visual design,
same deploy pipeline, zero client-side framework.
- All components rewritten as .astro files
- Dark mode via inline scripts (no React context)
- Timeline animation via IntersectionObserver script
- Nav active state computed at build time
- Self-hosted Source Code Pro woff2 fonts
- Drop Font Awesome (icons were never loaded)
- Drop unused headshot PNG (1MB, unreferenced)
- Fix pfSense hardware refs (Netgate 1100, not N100)
- Output: 212KB static HTML vs 2.6MB before
- JS shipped: ~700 bytes inline vs ~130KB React runtime
Unlayered CSS always wins over Tailwind's @layer utilities, so the
bare * { margin: 0 } reset was overriding mx-auto everywhere. Moving
it into @layer base restores correct cascade order.
