feat: config-driven identity (site.config.json) + buildable sample content

- site.config.json  single source of identity (name/url/description/author/social)
- scripts/configure.mjs  stamps it into app, content-pipeline, and astroagent configs
- app/src/lib/blog-data.js  SITE + author now read from app/src/config/site.json
- astro.config.mjs  default site URL from config
- index.astro / Footer.astro  neutralized hardcoded title, hero alt, social link
- sample 'welcome' post + placeholder hero/avatar so the site builds out of the box

Verified: cd app && npm ci && npm run build -> 13 pages, Complete.
Remaining comiida demo prose in about/faq/services/contact + Newsletter (sample content).

+This is a sample post included with the **SeedProject base**. It exists so the
+blog, homepage, RSS feed, and sitemap all build before you've written anything.
+
+## Getting started
+
+1. Edit `site.config.json` at the repo root with your site's name, URL, and author.
+2. Run `node scripts/configure.mjs` to stamp that identity across the theme and engines.
+3. Replace this post with your own content under `app/src/content/blog/`.
+
+Each post is a folder with an `index.mdx` file and a `cover` image, using the
+frontmatter fields defined in `app/src/content.config.js`.
