Subject: [PATCH] fix(landing): let signed-in users browse the marketing site
 instead of bouncing to /dashboard
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The homepage hard-redirected any authenticated visitor straight to /dashboard,
so clicking the wordmark/home (or opening / while signed in) never showed the
public site — and would block the public docs section too. Drop the redirect and
make the nav, hero, and closing CTAs auth-aware: signed-in visitors get a
"Dashboard" button; signed-out visitors get "Log in" / "Get started".
