* Default Open Graph + Twitter card image for the site root.

* Generated at build time as a static PNG (1200×630) so social platforms
* cache a single asset. Matches the social-kit design: stacked-triangle
* mark + lockup top-left, big headline center, orbital motif on the right,
* chartreuse + cobalt aurora backdrop on dark.
* Tuned for LinkedIn / X / Slack feed posting: dark plate (high contrast
* against feeds' white surfaces), oversized headline, four measured-fact
* pills as the visual rhythm, restrained orbital motif on the right.
*
* Generated at build time via next/og ImageResponse so a single PNG ships
* to /out/opengraph-image and platforms cache one canonical asset.
