TheFlow b1ddb04576 feat(phase3): implement smooth page transitions with fade effect
SUMMARY:
Implemented Phase 3 Task 3.5: Page Transitions - smooth fade transitions
between pages for improved perceived performance and user experience.

CHANGES:

1. Created page-transitions.js (new):
   - PageTransitions class with fade out/in effects
   - Attaches to all internal links automatically
   - Excludes external links, downloads, and hash links
   - Respects Ctrl/Cmd+click for new tab behavior
   - 300ms transition duration
   - Console logging for debugging

2. Updated tractatus-theme.css:
   - Added page transition CSS section
   - body fade-in/fade-out classes
   - Respects prefers-reduced-motion for accessibility
   - Smooth 0.3s opacity transitions

3. Added script to key pages:
   - public/index.html
   - public/architecture.html
   - public/about.html
   - public/researcher.html
   - public/leader.html
   - public/implementer.html

4. Regenerated tractatus-theme.min.css with new transitions

FEATURES:
✓ Smooth fade-out when clicking internal links
✓ Fade-in on page load
✓ Maintains navbar/footer during transition
✓ Improves perceived performance
✓ Accessible (respects reduced motion preference)
✓ Doesn't break Ctrl+click or right-click
