There was a problem hiding this comment.
I did a quick sanity check, here are some minor comments to consider; nothing blocking at the moment.
I cannot build the website at this state, it still needs #945 (and we should prioritize a CI workflow to test this on every PR).

This PR replaces the legacy Jekyll _layouts with standard Hugo equivalents (layouts/_default). During the port, I also cleaned up some of dead Javascript code (unused map/sidebar scripts) and fixed a bug where the footer was rendering twice on posts.
This establishes the baseline layout structure needed before migrating the actual content sections and shortcodes.
Also added the .gitignore entries for hugo
