Self-host social carousel avatars as fingerprinted assets

Proposed changes

Replaces the nine hotlinked pbs.twimg.com avatars on the homepage social carousel with locally-stored JPEGs under assets/fingerprinted/images/home/social/. The carousel partial now routes each avatar through fingerprinted-img.html (width=32 height=32 maxWidth=64), so they ship as appropriately-sized WebPs sized for the 32×32 retina slot rather than 200×200 third-party JPEGs.

Tip

Summary: Infrastructure refactor for the homepage social carousel: replaces nine hotlinked pbs.twimg.com avatar URLs in content/_index.md with locally-stored JPEGs under assets/fingerprinted/images/home/social/, and swaps the raw <img> tag in template-social-carousel.html for the fingerprinted-img.html partial (width 32, height 32, maxWidth 64 — matching the SCSS w-8 h-8 slot in theme/src/scss/_templates.scss:1012). Reader-blocking wrongness would be a frontmatter→asset mismatch (Hugo panics on a missing fingerprinted asset) or a partial-arg mismatch that breaks rendering; both checked — all 9 avatar: paths resolve to one of the 9 new files. Tweet quote bodies are unchanged but were pulled into the diff context, so all four were re-verified against source. Passes run: frontmatter sweep, temporal-trigger sweep, external claim verification (4/4 verified).
