An /advantages page (grouped by need) + a memory deep-dive; index stays lean

Keep index.yaml short: a 'See what it's good for' alternative routes to a new /advantages page instead of piling on features. /advantages sorts the advantages by what a visitor is after (a community keeping its own memory; an artist placing work; anyone done with accounts) — each with several features — and its 'go deeper' alternative routes to /advantages/memory, the rarity-aware preservation model on its own. Lint-clean (question_lint: 10 questions valid). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
