Implements window deletion approach to fix paraglide crash on cold edge function starts. Netlify's Deno 2.3.1 provides partial window object (window exists but window.location undefined) which breaks paraglide-js. Changes: - Add window deletion in hooks.server.ts before paraglide imports - Remove custom isServer override (use paraglide default) - Clarify disableAsyncLocalStorage comment for serverless context The fix detects Netlify's Deno environment and removes the incomplete window stub, making it behave like standard Deno/Node.js where window is properly undefined during SSR.

With paraglide's default isServer check, we no longer need the importRuntimeWithoutVite() workaround that patched 'import.meta.env.SSR'. Changes: - Remove importRuntimeWithoutVite() function from utils.ts - Use static imports in vite.config.ts, l10ntamer.ts, and check-setup-needed.js - Keep dynamic await import() only in run.ts (bootstraps runtime.js) - Update test mocks to mock runtime module directly All scripts can use static imports since runtime.js is generated before checks run (via pnpm inlang:settings in CI). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Re-add People page with AirTable integration Restores the People of PauseAI page, now pulling data from AirTable Members table to showcase staff and key contributors. The page encountered edge function issues with HTTP 500 errors on cold starts due to Netlify's Deno runtime providing a partial window object that broke paraglide-js. This was investigated in #544 and fixed in #548 with a runtime workaround that deletes the incomplete window stub. The fix has been verified working with this page deployment. Note: This page dynamically queries AirTable on each request. It should probably be prerendered (static) in the future to avoid unnecessary load on AirTable, as our key staff don't change frequently. However, it served as a valuable test case for edge function fixes, so merging as-is for now. Original work by @Pato-desu Fixes: #538, #540 Related: #544, #548

Summary
Fixes the paraglide window.location crash on cold Netlify edge function starts and removes the now-unnecessary
importRuntimeWithoutVite()workaround.(Apologies for the branch name pun - couldn't resist "deno-uncement" for removing cemented workarounds from our Deno edge code!)
Problem
Netlify's Deno 2.3.1 edge runtime provides a partial
windowstub wherewindowexists butwindow.locationis undefined. This breaks paraglide-js which assumeswindow.locationexists ifwindowexists, causing HTTP 500 errors on first request to dynamic pages.Solution
hooks.server.tsbefore paraglide loads, making Netlify's Deno behave like standard Deno/Node.jsimportRuntimeWithoutVite()function and use simple static imports now that we use paraglide's defaultisServercheckChanges
