fix: polish copy, remove homepage icon from module cards, and tighten footer/link styles

- Drop `IconHome` anchor from `ModuleCard` header; only the `IconInfoCircle` details link remains (opacity toned down to `text-foreground/40`)
- Reword error messages (`describeError`), empty-state strings, route-boundary messages, and stats page copy for clarity and consistency
- Replace `rel="noreferrer"` with `rel="noopener noreferrer"` across header, footer, detail page, and stats
- Add external-link icon to footer GitHub anchor; add `hover:text-foreground` to footer nav links
- Fix `PreviewBlock` top spacing (`mt-4` moved to `pt-4` on the wrapper so the border-top sits flush)
- Add "audit the code" link to stats telemetry opt-out blurb pointing at the telemetry source file
