Rebuild the site as a terminal-style agent on Astro

Replace the single Gatsby page with a dark, terminal-style agent that answers
questions about Dennis's work from one curated knowledge base. There is no
model and no network call, so answers cannot be invented. A plain "Classic
view" and an optional light theme sit one click away.

Site
- Terminal UI (React island): typed answers, tool-call lines, slash commands,
  autocomplete, history, deep links, a short /oncall game
- Content focused on what recruiters scan for; personal and employer-internal
  details are left out
- No profile photo anywhere, including the new link-preview card and icons
- Corrected facts from the old page (dates, titles, tenses, skill tiers)

Tooling
- Migrate Gatsby 5 to Astro 7 (Node 22.23+); builds in about 1 second
- Self-host fonts, so visitors make no request to third parties
- Link-preview card, favicon set, web manifest and a service-worker clean-up
  for returning visitors
- Deploy workflow builds with npm ci on Node 22 and uploads dist/
- Track package-lock.json

Quality
- Tests for routing and for markup injection from visitor input
- A content guard scans every reachable answer; the list of things that must
  never be published lives in a git-ignored local file

 Personal site of **Dennis Thiessen** — Staff Data, Analytics & AI Engineer (Bern, Switzerland).
 
-Built with [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/) 5 and React 18. Single-page, Swiss-minimal design; styles are plain CSS in `src/assets/style.css` (no preprocessor).
+Built with [Astro](https://astro.build/) and one React island. The home page is a dark, terminal-style
+agent that answers questions about Dennis's work, stack and projects, with a plain page one click away
+("Classic view") and an optional light theme. Styles are plain CSS in `src/assets/style.css`
+(no preprocessor). Fonts are self-hosted, so visitors make no request to any third party, and the site
+uses no analytics.
+
+The content is deliberately focused on what recruiters scan for: current role, headline stack,
+what was delivered at each employer and at what scope, education, and contact. Personal, private and
+employer-internal details are left out on purpose. `npm test` checks every answer the terminal can give
+against a list of things that must never be published; the specifics live in `test/banned.private.json`,
+which is git-ignored so the list itself never leaks.
+
+## How the agent works
+
+There is no language model and no network call. Every answer is generated in the browser from one
+curated knowledge base, so nothing can be invented.
+
+| Path                   | Role                                                                           |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `src/data/profile.mjs` | The only place facts live: roles, skills (by how they were used), projects     |
+| `src/agent/engine.mjs` | Command parser, intent matcher and answer builder. Pure functions, no DOM      |
+| `src/agent/oncall.mjs` | The short `/oncall` choose-your-path scene                                     |
+| `src/components/`      | `Terminal` (input, typing effect), `blocks` (answer renderers), `Classic`, `Shell` |
+| `src/layouts/Base.astro` | Document shell: fonts, icons, theme script                                   |
+| `src/pages/`           | `index.astro` (head tags, share card, JSON-LD) and `404.astro`                 |
+| `public/`              | Static files copied as-is: share card, icons, web manifest                     |
+| `test/`                | Routing tests and a content guard (see below)                                  |
+
+To change what the site says, edit `src/data/profile.mjs`. Skills carry a tier (`now`, `before`, `ai`,
+`poc`, `study`); a skill that is not listed is answered with "not in his listed stack" via `NON_CLAIMS`.
+
+Deep links work: `thiessen.io/#/projects`, `#/experience bosch`, `#classic`.
 
 ## Develop
 
-```bash
+Needs Node 22.23 or newer (see `.nvmrc`).
-npm install --legacy-peer-deps
-npx gatsby develop      # http://localhost:8000
-```
-
-## Build
 
 ```bash
-npx gatsby build        # output in ./public
+npm install
+npm run dev             # http://localhost:4321
+npm test                # node's built-in test runner, no extra dependencies
+npm run build           # static site in ./dist
+npm run preview         # serve ./dist locally
 ```
 
-Use Node 20 (see `.nvmrc`).
+After changing `public/icons/icon-512.png`, regenerate the favicon, touch icon and manifest with
+`node scripts/make-icons.mjs`.
 
 ## Deploy
 
 Pushing to `master` triggers the Gitea Actions workflow in
-`.gitea/workflows/workflow.yaml`, which builds the site and rsyncs `public/`
+`.gitea/workflows/workflow.yaml`, which builds the site and rsyncs `dist/`
 to the web server over SSH. It relies on these repository secrets:
 `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`, `SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS`, `DEPLOY_USER`, `DEPLOY_HOST`, `DEPLOY_PATH`.
+The rsync does not delete files that are no longer part of the site.

-            I work where <strong>software engineering meets operations</strong>. I design ETL/ELT and
-            streaming pipelines, containerise ML inference, and turn monolithic data processes into
-            event-driven, serverless systems.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            Right now I&apos;m at Swisscom in Bern, moving a legacy Teradata and Oracle stack onto
-            AWS. What I care about most is <strong>automation and reliability</strong>: systems that
-            run themselves, recover on their own, and don&apos;t page anyone at 3&nbsp;a.m.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            That path has taken me across three countries, with a research stint in Shanghai along
-            the way, so distributed, cross-border teams are familiar ground.
