Subject: [PATCH] Unified UI updates and data standardization

- Added skill and area chips to certification cards for improved technical scannability.
- Integrated a dark/light mode toggle in the header with persistent user preference.
- Cleaned up project cards by removing internal taxonomy labels and adding a 'Published' status badge.
- Reduced header height to a compact 64px (h-16) and adjusted scroll-spy offsets.
- Audited data files to standardize 'researcher' as a role key while using 'research'/'research scientist' in prose.
- Verified all changes via production build and automated frontend tests.
