feat: add meta descriptions to all pages - #180

None of the ten pages carried a <meta name="description">, so search engines synthesised snippets from page content and chat clients had no text to unfurl. Add a typed Props interface to Layout.astro and render the tag, then give each page a description written from its actual content. The prop is required rather than optional so that a page added without one fails `astro check`, which CI already runs on every push and PR. This covers the description tag only; og:* and twitter:* are still absent and need a 1200x630 card image before they are worth adding.

The previous description listed paradigms and features, which reads much like the other effect-oriented research languages. Lead instead with the claim the homepage itself makes and the tooling comparison table backs: compiler, LSP, REPL, and build tool in a single binary.

Reuse the first paragraph of the homepage rather than a rewrite, so the search snippet and the landing page open in the same voice and credit both Aarhus University and the open source contributors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Layout.astrogains a typedPropsinterface and renders the tag:descriptionis required rather than optional, so a page added later without one failsastro check— already run by CI on every push and PR. This also typestitle, which was previously implicitany.Each of the ten pages then passes a description written from its actual content, 69–157 characters, front-loaded so the distinctive part survives truncation.
Scope
Description tag only.
og:*andtwitter:*are still absent — those need a 1200×630 card image designed before the markup does anything, so they are left for a follow-up. No JSON-LD.Verification
