### New Landing Page

The homepage now showcases what's happening in the DeckyVault community:

- **Recently Added Benchmarks** — games with the newest benchmark submissions
- **Trending This Week** — games with the most benchmarks, comments, and upvotes in the last 7 days
- **Most Tested Games** — the most benchmarked games across all devices

Each section shows compact game cards with cover art, **playability badges** (with readable status labels), **performance tags** (Raw Performer / Poor Performance), and average FPS. Click any card to jump straight to the game's detail page.

### SteamDB Version Auto-Fetch

When submitting a benchmark, the wizard now automatically checks SteamDB for the latest game version and build ID. If found, it appears as a recommended option at the top of the version selector — no more guessing which version you're on.

This feature is best-effort and can be disabled via the `STEAMDB_SCRAPING_ENABLED` environment variable.

### API Security Hardening

We've tightened up the API with several layers of protection:

- **Tiered rate limiting** — different limits for authentication, reads, writes, and public forms
- **Comment anti-spam** — duplicate detection, size limits, and hourly caps
- **Submission validation** — FPS must be within realistic bounds, settings payloads have size caps
- **Content sanitization** — comment content is cleaned server-side before storage
