Fix About Section Mobile Layout Issue (#10)

Problem

On mobile and tablet devices, the stats grid boxes could potentially appear above the "About Us" heading, creating an incorrect visual hierarchy as shown in the issue screenshot.

Root Cause

The layout used a simple grid system that relied on source order. While the HTML structure was correct, there was no explicit ordering to guarantee the correct visual sequence across all viewport sizes and rendering contexts.

Solution

Applied explicit flexbox ordering to ensure consistent layout across all devices:

1. Changed container from grid-only to flex-first approach:

   • Mobile/Tablet: Uses flex flex-col (vertical stack)
   • Desktop: Uses lg:grid lg:grid-cols-2 (two-column layout)

2. Added explicit order classes:

   • Heading: order-1
   • Text content: order-2
   • Stats grid: order-3

This ensures the correct rendering order is maintained regardless of browser quirks or CSS specificity issues.

Changes Made

• ✅ Modified src/components/AboutSection.astro:
  • Updated container classes from grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 to flex flex-col lg:grid lg:grid-cols-2
  • Added order-1 to SectionHeading
  • Added order-2 to text content div
  • Added order-3 to stats grid div
  • Changed items-start to lg:items-start for desktop-only alignment
• ✅ Updated .gitignore to exclude package-lock.json (project uses pnpm)

Testing

Verified correct layout across multiple viewport sizes:

✅ Mobile (iPhone 12 Pro - 390x844px)

• Correct order: Heading → Text → Stats Grid
• All elements stack vertically as expected

✅ Tablet (iPad - 768x1024px)

• Correct order: Heading → Text → Stats Grid
• Responsive spacing working correctly

✅ Desktop (1440x900px)

• Heading appears above the two-column layout
• Text and stats display side-by-side as designed

Build Verification

• ✅ Build completed successfully with no errors
• ✅ No runtime warnings related to layout changes
• ✅ All Astro components compiled correctly

Accessibility & Semantic HTML

• ✅ HTML structure remains unchanged (semantic and accessible)
• ✅ Source order is correct for screen readers
• ✅ Visual order matches logical order
• ✅ No impact on keyboard navigation

Browser Compatibility

• ✅ Flexbox with order property is well-supported (IE11+)
• ✅ CSS Grid remains for desktop layout
• ✅ Progressive enhancement approach
