+// Override of Starlight's SocialIcons component. Renders two
+// quick-access pills on the left — a "← packetThrower" back-link
+// to the parent landing page, then a "Docs" pill to /install/ —

+// The back-link is an absolute URL on purpose: Astro's configured
+// `base` is `/Baudrun/`, so a relative `/` would resolve to
+// `/Baudrun/` (this site's own root). The absolute form skips the
+// base prefix and reaches the actual parent at
+// https://packetthrower.github.io/.
