Pull request overview
This PR redesigns the Docusaurus homepage hero background to look like a spreadsheet grid, replacing the prior radial gradient and adding gridlines plus row/column label strips.
Changes:
- Replace the global
.herobackground with a solid#14824b+ 135° dark wash gradient. - Add a tiled grid overlay and row/column label strips to the homepage hero.
- Add mask-based fading to avoid harsh clipping of the last visible row/column labels.

👍 LGTM. If possible, we look forward to experiencing high-resolution (such as 4K) display effects. If there are no other suggestions, I will merge this PR ASAP. Screenshot
