seo: give every page its own description, og:title and canonical - #15

Conversation
Auditing the site right after handing it to Google and Bing found that all 19 pages shipped identical metadata. VitePress gives each page a unique <title> but leaves `description` and the og:* tags at whatever the site config says, so: · Search Console reports duplicate meta descriptions · every search snippet is the same paragraph, whatever the page · sharing a deep link shows the homepage's social card · no page had a canonical URL at all transformPageData now derives all three per page. Descriptions come from frontmatter, written for each of the 18 content pages — these are the search snippets, so they say what that page answers rather than repeating the pitch. Verified on the built output: title, description, og:title and canonical are each unique across all 19 pages, and nothing is missing a canonical. The verification file and 404 are excluded from the audit, correctly — neither should be indexed.
