Build and maintain the semester course website that a set of Quarto lecture decks hangs off: the landing page students bookmark, the week table, the site theme, the navbar and school mark, the instructor line, the handout post-render hook, and publishing to GitHub Pages. TRIGGER on "course website", "course site", "syllabus page", "course landing page", "week table", "add week 4 to the site", "link the new deck on the site", "publish the course site", "GitHub Pages for my course", "the site navbar", "logo on my course page", "put my syllabus online", "the site looks wrong on a phone". Use teaching-lecture to write or repair a deck; this skill owns everything around the decks.

One Quarto website project per course, per semester. It holds the page students bookmark, a row for every week, the theme that makes the site and the decks read as one system, and the publish path to GitHub Pages.
