docs(readme): document Vue setup and project structure

Replace the Svelte badge and stale runtime references with the Vue 3 toolchain, current Node requirement, and reproducible npm ci installation path.

Tell the contributor story from entry point to page: explain how App.vue, the custom router, bilingual routes, shared components, locale JSON, YAML content, public assets, and Vue Storybook fit together, then list the commands used for local development and verification.

Update the component guide for Vue props, slots, layout primitives, Svg.vue variants, and Storybook controls so contributors can find the right abstraction before adding route-specific markup.

+## 🧭 How the project fits together
+
+The site is a Vue 3 single-page application built with Vite. Vue starts in `src/main.js`, which mounts `src/App.vue`. The app keeps its intentionally small custom router and translation system rather than introducing larger framework plugins.
+
+- `src/routes/` contains the page components and the bilingual public route table.
+- `src/components/` contains reusable UI building blocks; layout primitives live in `src/components/layout/`.
+- `src/layout/` contains the site-wide navigation and footer.
+- `src/lib/` contains routing, translations, image-path helpers, and the shared YAML loader.
+- `src/lib/locales/{est,en}/` contains escaped JSON translation data for each language.
+- `public/_data/` contains editable YAML for members, mentors, workshops, projects, partners, and pricing.
+- `public/assets/` contains source assets; generated image variants remain ignored.
+- `.storybook/` and `src/stories/` provide isolated Vue component previews.
+
+Page components use Vue's `<script setup>` syntax and Composition API primitives such as `ref` and `computed`. Use `usePageText("PageName")` for page translations, `loadYaml(path, fallback)` for YAML-backed content, and the exported `navigate()` helper for programmatic internal navigation.
+
+Useful commands:
+
+```bash
+npm run dev             # start the local site
+npm run build           # create a production build
+npm run storybook       # preview components in Storybook
+npm run build-storybook # verify the static Storybook build
+npm run optimise        # regenerate local image variants
+```

 # Components
 
-under components are building blocks that are not layout related.
+Components in this directory are reusable Vue building blocks that are not layout-specific. They use `<script setup>`, Vue props, and the default slot for child content.
 
 ## details
 
 - Button: a simple button component with some styling.
 - Dropdown: a dropdown component that can be used to show/hide content.
 - Slideshow: a simple slideshow component that can be used to show multiple images in a slideshow format. Includes options to enable/disable autoplay and to set the autoplay interval.
-- Svg: a component that renders different SVG icons based on the `type` prop. See the VARIANTS constant in `Svg.svelte` or storybook for the available types.
+- Svg: a component that renders different SVG icons based on the `type` prop. See the `VARIANTS` constant in `Svg.vue` or Storybook for the available types.
 - Image (Use for larger images): a component that renders an image with some styling. It accepts a lot of props. Main ones are `src` (the main image source that is used if anything else fails or not provided), `alt` (the alt text for the image), `srcSet` (a string of comma-separated image sources for different screen sizes, jpg or png files), `webpSrc` (the webp image source as a webp file), `webpSrcSet` (a string of comma-separated webp image sources for different screen sizes). We use 2 webp images: 400 and 800 width, and one jpg image 800 width as default src for fallback.
 
 # Layout components
 
-under components/layout are components that are used to structure the page, such as Container, Stack, Center, etc.
+Components under `components/layout` structure page content. Prefer these shared primitives over duplicating container, spacing, or grid rules in a route.
 
 - Container: a simple container component that centers its content and adds some padding.
 - Stack: a component that stacks its children vertically or horizontally.
 - Center: a component that centers its content both horizontally and vertically.
 - Section: a component that is used to create sections on the page.
 - Card: a component that adds some padding, a border, and a shadow to its content, used to create cards on the page.
-- Grid: a component that creates a CSS grid layout for its children, with customizable columns and gap. It is dynamic and changes automatically with page size, best practice is to set `columns` for desktop and `mobileColumns` for mobile views to control the behavior if needed.
