Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (withastro/starlight): Key deliverable was the mobile header title clipping fix, ensuring long site titles wrap properly and do not clip on small screens. This involved applying a min-width: 0 to the title wrapper to enable proper wrapping and responsive header behavior. The change improves branding readability on mobile and stabilizes the header across devices. Implemented in commit 0b206d3a23f0876146dc17f5e507984362917696 with message 'Fixes display of long site title on mobile (#2722)'.
