Phase A of docs/plans/20260604-adr-0042-website.md. Scaffolds the site under website/ from the Starlight template; adds Tailwind v4 (via @tailwindcss/vite) bridged to Starlight with @astrojs/starlight-tailwind (src/styles/global.css + customCss). Production build is green: static output, Pagefind search index, sharp image optimization. Template placeholders (title, example pages, sidebar) are left for Phase B/D. Reconciles the ADR/plan/index wording from "Astro 5" to "Astro 6" to match the scaffolded toolchain.

Starlight looks for .md or .mdx files in the src/content/docs/ directory. Each file is exposed as a route based on its file name.
Images can be added to src/assets/ and embedded in Markdown with a relative link.
Static assets, like favicons, can be placed in the public/ directory.
