Replaces the Rust-based mdbook toolchain with a Node.js-only build using Eleventy 3.x, markdown-it, and linkinator. All 49 markdown source files and SUMMARY.md are unchanged; navigation is parsed from SUMMARY.md at build time. - Add eleventy.config.js with markdown-it config, internal .md link rewriting, Nunjucks filters, and passthrough copies for fonts/CSS/JS assets - Add _data/nav.js: SUMMARY.md parser producing tree + flat nav structures - Add _includes/base.njk, page.njk, sidebar.njk with active/ancestor state - Add theme stubs (ayu-highlight.css, tomorrow-night.css) and self-hosted clipboard.min.js required by book.js - Trim book.js: remove Rust playground IIFE, keep hljs and clipboard logic - Rename localStorage keys from mdbook-* to dsnp-* - Update CI workflows to use npm ci + eleventy + linkinator; remove mdbook composite action and book.toml - Pin all package.json devDependencies to exact versions; bump engines to >=20 - Remove unused package.json fields and tsconfig.json - Combine build and linkcheck in the verify workflow as the latter now relies on the HTML - Update package versions and audit vulnerabilities - Update spellchecker dictionary as needed - Add pagefind search and page title extraction

Problem
mdbook build architecture is getting crusty and requires some heavy tooling.
Solution
replace mdbook with 11ty; rework templates to fit

Testing
Build and browse. There should be no noticeable changes to the site vs. the published version at spec.dsnp.org.
