Summary
Adds a visually-hidden honeypot (
_gotcha) field to all four Formspree-backed forms to cut down on bot spam submissions._gotchais Formspree's built-in honeypot field name: real users never see or fill it, but bots tend to auto-fill every input, and Formspree silently discards any submission where it's populated. No server-side config or third-party scripts (e.g. reCAPTCHA) required.Forms updated

position:absolute; left:-9999px) witharia-hidden="true", and the input usestabindex="-1"/autocomplete="off"so it's skipped by keyboard navigation, screen readers, and autofill.Testing
