- Built for AI coding agents — AGENTS.md, per-feature docs and a link checker.
- Privacy-first — No analytics or ads on by default; consent bar only when needed.
- One settings folder — Name, colours, menus, pages and deployment in config.
- SEO and AI-ready — Canonical URLs, Open Graph, schema, sitemap, RSS, robots.txt, llms.txt.
