## Notes

- Images are **copied into this repository** for reliable serving; the marketing pages do not hotlink Unsplash at runtime.
- Blog seed data references these paths as `coverImage` values (for example `/site/images/blog-ai.jpg`).
- If you replace an image, update this file and the marketing footer credit link remains valid.
