Home: a thumbnail on each news row, and two-line excerpts
The home page's "From the community" list was a block of text: date, category, title and a three-line excerpt per post. Now each row shows a small crop of the post's featured image, and the excerpt stops after two lines, so the list reads as news. On phones and narrower desktops the card is shorter than before. At 1440 px it is about the same height.
- Images: the thumbnails reuse each post's existing
featuredimage, cropped to a small WebP by Hugo. No post bundles are touched, because deploy replaces them with the Announcements artifact. The images are decorative (alt="") and the whole row is still one link. - Posts without an image: these get a tile in the category's tint with its first letter.
- Layout: date and category now sit on one line above the title, replacing the old date column.
Based on #1118. Checks: SEO, source rules and axe pass, apart from the known /category/event/. Codespell on the changed files is clean. The design check flags nothing on the home page.

Summary by cubic
Reworks the home page's "From the community" list so each news row leads with a small crop of the post's featured image, and excerpts stop after two lines, so the list reads as news.
Posts without a featured image get a tile in their category's tint with the category's first letter. Date and category now sit on one line above the title instead of the old date column. Thumbnails reuse each post's existing featured image, cropped to a small WebP by Hugo, are decorative (alt=""), and each row remains a single link; post bundles are left untouched. On phones the excerpt runs full width below the thumbnail and title, and at 1440px rows are about the same height as before. The fix also clears a leftover 4px vertical gap between rows on phones.
