Added More tools sections linking each project to the other four, and pointed all support links to ewancroft.uk/support

Replaced inline symbolic characters with Lucide icons

Swapped unicode symbols for Lucide icon components across malachite, opal, jasper, bismuth, tourmaline, landing-ui, and croft-click

Added hero SVG OG images to malachite, opal, jasper, bismuth, and tourmaline landing pages

devlog: Dynamic OG image generation with @ewanc26/og
