Pull request overview
This PR refreshes the Foundry Local website messaging and examples to position Foundry Local as an SDK-first product (vs. a CLI-first flow), and updates installation/docs links accordingly.
Changes:
- Replaced the hero “two-step CLI” install flow with tabbed per-language SDK install commands and copy-to-reveal hello-world snippets.
- Updated homepage feature copy + the “Ship to Production” example to match current SDK patterns and a real model alias.
- Updated the download dropdown with correct Rust crate name and added WinML-specific install options; fixed Learn docs URLs across the site.

## What changed Redesigned the Foundry Local homepage to make the SDK the primary path for new users, with the first viewport focused on app integration rather than CLI tooling. - Updated hero copy and CTAs for an SDK-first story. - Reworked the install widget into three stacked steps: install package, load a model, and run chat inference. - Added Python, JS, C#, and Rust tabs with compact syntax-highlighted snippets. - Added progressive 1 -> 2 -> 3 reveal: steps unlock on copy or click, with a reduced-motion-aware animation. - Kept the inference step honest to the existing samples by showing the chat path instead of adding unsupported chat/speech/vision sub-tabs. - Fixed copy toast theming to use semantic site tokens. - Updated the install dropdown, features, and footer to keep SDKs primary and CLI tooling secondary. ## Testing - `npx prettier --check src/lib/config.ts src/lib/components/install-command.svelte` - `npm run build` --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Foundry Local is now delivered as a native SDK (~20 MB) that ships inside your app. The website still led with CLI install commands (
winget install+foundry model run), which framed it as a CLI tool. This PR updates the website to reflect the SDK-first positioning.Changes
