What

Adds a new About page (about.html) and a top-level About nav item in the last position, on both the desktop nav and the mobile drawer menu.

The page content is "Why Constructor Fabric?" — the intellectual origins of the name (von Neumann's Universal Constructor, Deutsch's Constructor Theory) and the project mission.

How

  • about.html mirrors the structure of the existing pages: same head metadata (title, description, canonical URL, social-sharing tags), shared header/footer partials, page-hero + white content section, and the standard CTA block.
  • Page-scoped spacing classes (page-hero--compact, section--about) tighten the gap between the heading and the text on this page only — shared styles.css is untouched.
  • Styling in the text: bold for the name introductions (Constructor Fabric, Constructor, Fabric), italics for Universal Constructor and Constructor Theory.
  • Nav item is placed after the commented-out Try entry in partials.jsx, so About remains last when Try is restored.
  • about.html added to sitemap.xml.

Verified locally

  • About appears last in desktop nav and mobile drawer, highlighted as active on its page
  • All paragraphs render, with the intended bold/italic styling
  • No browser console errors

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a new About page with project background, compact hero content, and clear call-to-action/footer sections.
    • Added an About link to the main navigation so visitors can reach the new page easily.
  • Documentation

    • Updated site metadata and sitemap to include the new About page, improving discoverability and sharing previews.

New top-level About nav item (last position) linking to about.html,
which covers the von Neumann / Constructor Theory origins of the name
and the project mission.

The page follows the same structure as the other pages (shared
header/footer partials, page-hero plus content section) with
page-scoped spacing tweaks so the heading flows directly into the
text. Also adds about.html to sitemap.xml.

Changes

About Page Addition

Layer / File(s) Summary

about.html
Adds head metadata (canonical, favicon, Open Graph/Twitter tags), loads React/ReactDOM/Babel and site stylesheet, and defines inline CSS for hero spacing and .about-prose typography.
About page React component
about.html
Builds the body structure with a React root, loads partials.jsx, and defines the About component rendering SiteHeader, a hero section, prose paragraphs, CtaStart, and SiteFooter, then mounts it via ReactDOM.createRoot.
Navigation and sitemap wiring
partials.jsx, sitemap.xml
Adds an "About" entry to the SiteHeader nav items array and a new <url> entry for about.html in the sitemap with monthly changefreq and 0.6 priority.

Consider consolidating page-scoped spacing overrides into styles.css over time.

Defining .page-hero--compact and .section--about inline per page works but risks duplication/divergence if other pages later need similar spacing tweaks with the same class names but different values. Not blocking since this mirrors the PR's stated intent to keep styles.css untouched.
