Fix homepage event order and consolidate dependency updates

[Elvis020]

Before

• The homepage selected the three farthest-future events, hiding nearer events such as the current #HowToBuild session and the next Project Night.
• The Mission section's Join the community button stretched across its flex column.
• Routine dependency updates were split across Dependabot PRs Bump pnpm/action-setup from 6.0.10 to 6.1.0 in the github-actions group #50 and Bump the npm-dependencies group with 4 updates #51.

After

• The homepage shows the next three ongoing or upcoming events, with recent past events used only when fewer than three active events remain.
• Initial Astro rendering and the live EMS refresh use the same shared ordering policy, preventing cards from changing to a different order after refresh.
• The Mission CTA keeps its intrinsic content width.
• PRs Bump pnpm/action-setup from 6.0.10 to 6.1.0 in the github-actions group #50 and Bump the npm-dependencies group with 4 updates #51 are consolidated here as part of the same single commit.

Dependency updates

• pnpm/action-setup: 6.0.10 → 6.1.0, SHA-pinned in all three workflow uses
• astro: 7.3.1 → 7.3.2
• zod: 4.5.4 → 4.6.2
• @cloudflare/workers-types: 5.20260904.1 → 5.20260911.1
• wrangler: 4.129.0 → 4.131.0

Why this happened

1. The homepage had its own descending start-date sort in both render paths.
2. That overrode the shared soonest-event ordering already used by the live events client.
3. The Mission CTA inherited the default stretching behavior of its column flex parent.

Verification

• pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
• pnpm build — 20 pages built
• pnpm wrangler deploy --dry-run — 73 assets bundled; no deployment performed
• git diff --check
• Fixed-time ordering fixtures covering ongoing, upcoming, past-only, exact end boundary, empty, fewer-than-three, and input immutability
• Installed dependency versions verified with pnpm list --depth 0
• Live public event feed verified against the shared ordering helper
• Desktop browser inspection of the Mission CTA
• Astra final review — no actionable findings

The build environment could not reach EMS and used the repository's documented local meetup fallback during static generation; the live feed was fetched and verified separately.
