Erich Blume 1c32e351f7 Backfill date-modified frontmatter on all docs
Dagger's --src=. excludes .git, so Quartz can't use git history for
page dates inside containers. Populate date-modified: YYYY-MM-DD in
frontmatter for all 80 doc articles so the frontmatter priority level
(highest in quartz.config.ts) works with or without git.
