The first public release of the GC Platform — a unified, file://-friendly home for the GC Toastmasters Club's AI toolkit.

### Added
- **Meeting Minutes Template Engine** (`meeting-generator/`) — generates responsive HTML recaps from structured JSON, with bilingual quotes, awards table, and group-photo upload.
- **Data Dashboard** (`dashboard/`) — ECharts-powered visualizations over 18 meetings: attendance, role distribution, award flow, member growth.
- **Poster Generator** (`poster-generator/`) — three template themes, one-click PNG export at 3× resolution, supports Chinese + English titles.
- **Unified Navigation Homepage** (`index.html`) — editorial-grand hero, six-tool workshop grid, animated stats, footer.
- **Shared Design System** (`assets/css/shared.css`) — GC brand tokens, light/dark themes, common components.
- **Shared Utilities** (`assets/js/shared-utils.js`) — `GCUtils` namespace with `animateCounter`, `debounce`, `formatDate`, `toggleTheme`, `showToast`, `copyToClipboard`, `downloadFile`.
- **Six SVG Icons** (`assets/images/icons/`) — meeting, dashboard, poster, microphone, robot, book.
- **Nginx Deployment Config** (`deploy/nginx.conf`) — caching rules, gzip, security headers, SPA fallback.

### Technical

- GC brand design system: crimson `#8B0000`, gold `#e8c97a`, ivory `#faf6ef`.
- Editorial typography: Fraunces (display serif) + Inter Tight (utility sans) + JetBrains Mono (numbers).
- Responsive design — 3-column → 2-column → 1-column gracefully.
- IntersectionObserver-driven scroll reveals and counter animations.
- Reduced-motion preferences honored.

### Forthcoming (planned for v1.1+)
