Subject: [PATCH] Populates Home page with build and release status
Updates the Home page UI to display current build, latest release, and release status. Moves the resources section to the Home page and adds a new section to display the latest GitHub discussions. Add helper functions to query GitHub for the latest release and recent public discussions to keep users informed efficiently.
