Why

The visitor-persona audit of libredb.org found the site sells well to developers and DevOps but leaks trust at specific, fixable points. This PR closes the gaps the owner selected, in one pass.

Addresses the visitor-persona audit findings in one pass:

First-time developer (info scent):
- Homepage gains a feature bridge — an in-fiction "SELECT name, summary
  FROM features LIMIT 4;" mini result set (NL2SQL Copilot, AI Query
  Safety, Visual EXPLAIN, Data Masking) linking to all 18 features

Evaluating DBA (consistency + trust):
- New /security page consolidating the honest security model: OIDC+PKCE,
  RBAC, env-var seed credentials, TLS/SSH tunnels, display-level masking
  (stated as such), supply-chain checksums, and the SECURITY.md
  disclosure path
- Studio version now fetched from GitHub releases at build time
  (bare-semver app tags only, chart releases filtered, memoized, with
  fallback) and rendered as "studio:x.y.z" in the StatusBar and as
  JSON-LD softwareVersion — replaces three conflicting hardcoded numbers
- Engine list single-sourced in src/data/engines.ts (hero + JSON-LD)
- Compare page gains a methodology footnote with last-check date and a
  corrections channel

DevOps engineer:
- /get-started gains "Next: connect your first database" — four steps
  with least-privilege guidance and links to the seed-connections guide
  and /security
- /features ends with a closing CTA instead of a dead end

Customer (honest licensing):
- Platform pages now state the real model: closed source, beta,
  self-hosted, per-organization enterprise licenses, no online sales
  yet, with a "talk to us" contact path (LinkedIn)
- Home family card: "Managed for teams" -> "Self-hosted for enterprises"
- FAQ +2: "How is LibreDB Platform licensed?" and "Why sponsor LibreDB?"

JSON-LD sameAs now includes X/YouTube/Instagram/Reddit.

The video sits inside the "Next: connect your first database" panel as
the written steps in motion — same click-to-load nocookie facade as the
homepage promo (self-hosted poster, zero third-party bytes until play).
Its flow mirrors the steps 1:1: New Connection -> pick engine -> host &
credentials -> SSL/SSH -> Test Connection -> first query.

Also fixes three whitespace-collapse spots in the step copy where
prettier's line breaks ate the space before inline spans.

The video opens with the install itself ("docker run ..."), so it is the
whole page's journey — install, connect, first query — not just the
connect panel's. It now sits directly under the page header, above the
fold: watch 70 seconds first, then follow the steps. The connect panel
keeps its written steps and links.

Pull request overview

This PR updates libredb.org content and metadata to address “trust leak” points identified in a visitor-persona audit, by adding a dedicated Security section/page, tightening product/info-scent copy, and making key site claims (supported engines + Studio version) more consistent and less likely to drift.

Changes:

  • Adds a new /security section (page + content + section metadata) and wires it into the dynamic section router.
  • Introduces a single source of truth for supported database engines and reuses it in JSON-LD + hero copy.
  • Fetches the latest LibreDB Studio version from GitHub releases at build time (with fallback) and surfaces it in structured data + UI.

…en version fetch

All five findings verified valid (single-source consistency class):

- studio-version fetch: per_page 15 -> 30 and a 10s AbortSignal timeout
  so a slow network can't hang the static build
- FAQ pageDescription now mentions Platform licensing and sponsorship,
  matching the section's actual content
- get-started step 2 engine list derives from ENGINES
- home feature-bridge counts derive from sectionById['features'].rows
- JSON-LD keywords derive from ENGINES
