Summary

This PR turns the placeholder "Building this site" scaffold into a complete
three-post launch narrative with lightweight visuals.

  • Rewrites welcome into a real opening essay (voice, goals, constraints).
  • Rewrites how-m2-landed into a practical design-system story while keeping
    the MDX callout structure.
  • Adds a new third post: launch-day-lessons to close the series arc.
  • Updates the series entry (building-this-site) summary and ordering to
    include all three posts.
  • Adds three custom SVG illustrations under public/images/series/ and
    embeds one in each post.
  • Fixes malformed SVG XML in launch-checklist.svg (&&) so it
    renders correctly.

Why

The site is live, comments are shipped, and content is now the highest-value
next step. This PR replaces placeholder text with publishable writing and gives
the first series some visual character without adding runtime weight.

Test plan

  • pnpm format:check
  • pnpm test (content/schema + unit suites)
  • pnpm build (Astro build + Pagefind index)
  • Manual dev preview:
    • /series/building-this-site shows the 3-post order
    • /posts/welcome renders text + image
    • /posts/how-m2-landed renders MDX callout + image
    • /posts/launch-day-lessons renders image after SVG fix

…trations

Turn the placeholder "Building this site" entries into a complete
three-post narrative with a clear arc: why the rebuild happened, how
the design system landed, and what launch week taught in practice.

Add a new launch-day post, update series ordering/summary, and embed
lightweight custom SVG illustrations in each entry so the pieces are
more visual without adding runtime weight.
