- @fontsource/noto-naskh-arabic and noto-nastaliq-urdu bundled with the site; no Google
Fonts request (Brave Shields blocked it, so the switch had nothing to switch to)
- ?font=nastaliq|naskh sets the reading font (shareable links)
Validated: both fonts render from local files in headless Chromium; no googleapis requests.
