fix: resolve SEO, accessibility, and color contrast issues (Lighthouse audit)

[amankv1234]

What this PR does

Fixes a series of issues found through Lighthouse audits (SEO, Accessibility, and Agentic Browsing categories) on the landing page.

1. SEO — Descriptive link text

All "Learn more" links previously used identical, non-descriptive text across 9 cards. Added a screen-reader-only span (sr-only) with unique context per card (e.g., "Learn more about Lightweight & Fast"), without changing any visible text or design.

2. Accessibility — ARIA hidden focusable elements

The duplicate card set used for the seamless scroll animation was wrapped in aria-hidden="true" but still contained focusable <Link> elements, creating an invalid accessibility tree. Added tabIndex={-1} to the duplicate set only, so keyboard/AI-agent navigation only reaches the real, visible cards.

3. Accessibility — Heading hierarchy

The "Share this Page" modal heading was an <h3> appearing directly after the page's <h1>, skipping <h2>. Changed it to <h2> (no visual change, since styling comes from className).

4. Accessibility — Color contrast

Several text elements failed WCAG contrast requirements:

• Footer text was previously too dark against its permanently dark background — lightened.
• Hero share-modal text now uses the project's existing theme-aware CSS variables (text-card-foreground, text-foreground) instead of hardcoded gray, so it automatically adapts correctly in both light and dark mode.
• Playground config panel labels (which use hardcoded light/dark backgrounds, not the CSS variable system) now have explicit dark: variants.
• Decorative background card numbers ("01", "02"...) had their opacity increased from 30% to 60% to pass contrast while remaining a subtle visual element.

How to verify

• npm run build && npx serve out (do NOT use npm run dev — dev mode performance numbers are not representative)
• Run Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools → Lighthouse tab) against the served build
• Confirm: SEO 100, Accessibility improved, no visible layout/design changes in either light or dark mode

Screenshot

Notes

• No visual/design changes — all fixes are either invisible (sr-only, tabIndex) or subtle (opacity, near-identical gray shades).
• Performance metrics should only be measured against a production build, not npm run dev, which reports artificially inflated blocking-time numbers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Accessibility Improvements

  • Improved screen-reader descriptions for feature links.
  • Marked decorative numbering as hidden from assistive technologies.
  • Removed duplicated carousel cards from keyboard navigation.
  • Improved heading structure in the page preview.

• Style Improvements

  • Improved text contrast across the 404 page, code showcase, feature sections, footer, hero, and playground.
  • Updated colors for better light and dark theme support.
  • Refined button and preview text styling for improved readability.

Walkthrough

The landing page updates text contrast across messages, code samples, footer content, and playground controls. It also improves feature-card accessibility and updates Hero mockup semantics.

Changes

Landing page updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Text contrast updates landing-page/src/app/not-found.tsx, landing-page/src/components/CodeShowcase.tsx, landing-page/src/components/Footer.tsx, landing-page/src/components/Playground.tsx	Text classes now provide updated light- and dark-mode contrast.
Hero mockup styling and semantics landing-page/src/components/Hero.tsx	The button text color, mockup text colors, and “Share this Page” heading level are updated.
Feature card accessibility landing-page/src/components/EverywhereFeatures.tsx, landing-page/src/components/Features.tsx	Decorative numbers are hidden from assistive technology. Links include card-specific screen-reader text. Duplicated carousel cards are removed from keyboard navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d2e5d

The PR improves SEO and accessibility, but it should merge with owner awareness that the new screen-reader link context is English-only and that the duplicate-card focus suppression may not work reliably with the current React version, potentially affecting localization and keyboard or assistive-technology navigation.

Poem

I, a rabbit, hop through the landing page bright
Contrast grows clearer in day and night
Card numbers hide, while link names appear
Carousel tabs now skip duplicate cards here
Fresh headings and colors complete the cheer

Inline comments:
In `@landing-page/src/components/CodeShowcase.tsx`:
- Line 63: Update CodeShowcase.tsx to use text-neutral-300 for the code comment,
add the appropriate dark-mode text variant to the 404 message in not-found.tsx,
and apply the existing isDark text branch to the reachable empty-platform
message in Playground.tsx. Affected sites:
landing-page/src/components/CodeShowcase.tsx lines 63-63 requires the token
change; landing-page/src/app/not-found.tsx lines 25-25 requires the dark-mode
variant; landing-page/src/components/Playground.tsx lines 117-124 requires the
isDark branch.

In `@landing-page/src/components/EverywhereFeatures.tsx`:
- Line 107: The screen-reader phrase “about” is hardcoded in both feature
components and must be localized. Update the link labels in
EverywhereFeatures.tsx lines 107-107 and Features.tsx lines 40-40 to use the
appropriate i18n message with card.title interpolation, preserving the existing
accessible link structure.

In `@landing-page/src/components/Features.tsx`:
- Line 123: Make the duplicate track containing FeatureCard inert in addition to
its existing aria-hidden state, ensuring its links cannot receive pointer or
programmatic focus while remaining excluded from keyboard navigation. Update the
duplicate-track rendering near FeatureCard and preserve the normal interactive
behavior of non-duplicate cards.

In `@landing-page/src/components/Footer.tsx`:
- Around line 135-142: Update all four social link anchors in the footer to use
the text-neutral-500 default color instead of text-neutral-600, while preserving
their existing hover styling and other attributes.
