Quest: the home page's meta description says what the site does (#42)

OP OpenVibers committed 29 days ago · 8bca55e425 · 2 files, +4 −0

The home page's meta description was the layout's fallback, "OpenVibe.Quest — <tagline>" (35-49 characters). A metadata audit of every site flagged it as too short for search results.

- **Home:** it is now a sentence saying what the site does, under 160 characters.
- **/updates:** gets its own description instead of the same fallback.

The home test checks the description is 50-160 characters and is not "Name — tagline".
