Navigation polish, custom 404, and project route gating

Cleaned up navigation, added a custom 404 page, and gated project routes until content is ready.

Updates

  • Cleaned up site navigation.
  • Built a custom 404 page and disabled Starlight’s default.
  • Disabled project card links until the content is ready.
  • Gated project routes behind an environment variable.

Notes

Infrastructure work. This was mostly about tightening the experience and preventing dead ends. Route gating keeps unfinished work from leaking into the UI while the structure is still evolving.
