Add "Why Flutter" whitepaper landing page to flutter.dev - #13658

Adds `/why-us`, a marketing page making the business case for adopting
Flutter, implemented from a design handoff.

The page reuses the site's existing conventions rather than introducing
parallel ones:

- `DefaultLayout` supplies the header and footer.
- The closing call to action reuses the shared `CTASection`.
- Icons use the existing `Icon` component and Material Symbols Rounded.
- Colour, radius, spacing and type resolve to the tokens in
  `core/_vars.scss`; nine of the design's eleven type sizes map exactly
  onto the existing heading scale.
- The stylesheet is mobile-first and layers wider treatments with the
  `breakpoints.screen()` mixins, matching the rest of the site.

Only the stat numerals and the fixed hero stage geometry are literals,
as no token covers them.

The four sections that hydrate on the client take their asset URLs as
parameters. They must not call `context.asset()` themselves: the asset
helpers import `dart:io`, which pulls the server-only SDK into the client
bundle and stops it compiling.

Four issues only visible once the page was rendered:

- Hero text was black. `core/_base.scss` declares `color: black` directly on
  h1..h6 and a grey on body copy; an inherited colour on the section can never
  override a direct declaration, so the dark-background text restates it.
- The "One team, not three" row was mirrored. The media column already comes
  first in the DOM, so `row-reverse` flipped it to the wrong side.
- Success-case device imagery overflowed its card. The media box had a width
  but no height, so `overflow: hidden` never clipped it.
- Feature-card body copy inherited the body grey instead of black.

Bumps the github-actions group with 3 updates:
[github/codeql-action/init](https://github.com/github/codeql-action),
[github/codeql-action/autobuild](https://github.com/github/codeql-action)
and
[github/codeql-action/analyze](https://github.com/github/codeql-action).

<h2>v4.37.4</h2>
<ul>
<li>This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the
<code>tools</code> input for the <code>codeql-action/init</code> step to
be specified using a <code>github-codeql-tools</code> <a
href="https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/managing-custom-properties-for-repositories-in-your-organization">repository
property</a>. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the
release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI
version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup,
to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues
with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the
value to <code>toolcache</code> to always use the CodeQL CLI version
that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows,
the value provided for <code>tools</code> in the workflow definition
always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property
starts with <code>!</code>. <a

<li>The new address format for the <code>config-file</code> input that
was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In
addition to the format described there, the <code>remote=</code> prefix
can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote

private registries</a> in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration
files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will
allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single
repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in
other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes
out to everyone in July. <a

the analysis is running for, <code>ref</code> to <code>main</code>, and

<h2>v4.37.4</h2>
<ul>
<li>This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the
<code>tools</code> input for the <code>codeql-action/init</code> step to
be specified using a <code>github-codeql-tools</code> <a
href="https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/managing-organization-settings/managing-custom-properties-for-repositories-in-your-organization">repository
property</a>. This feature will gradually be rolled out following the
release of this version. Once rolled out, this allows for the CodeQL CLI
version that is used in GitHub-managed workflows, such as Default Setup,
to be set to a custom value. For example, customers who run into issues
with rate limits when a new CodeQL CLI version is released can set the
value to <code>toolcache</code> to always use the CodeQL CLI version
that is available in the runner toolcache. For Advanced Setup workflows,
the value provided for <code>tools</code> in the workflow definition
always takes precedence unless the value of the repository property
starts with <code>!</code>. <a

packs.</p>
<h2>[UNRELEASED]</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed a bug where a network error while streaming the download of
the CodeQL bundle could terminate the <code>init</code> Action instead
of falling back to downloading the bundle before extracting it. <a

<h2>4.37.4 - 29 Jul 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li>This version of the CodeQL Action adds support for the
<code>tools</code> input for the <code>codeql-action/init</code> step to
be specified using a <code>github-codeql-tools</code> <a

</ul>
<h2>4.37.3 - 22 Jul 2026</h2>
<p>No user facing changes.</p>
<h2>4.37.2 - 21 Jul 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li>The new address format for the <code>config-file</code> input that
was introduced in CodeQL Action 4.37.0 is now enabled by default. In
addition to the format described there, the <code>remote=</code> prefix
can now be used to explicitly indicate that the input refers to a remote
file. All previous input formats continue to be accepted as well. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4023">#4023</a></li>
<li>The CodeQL Action can now make use of <a
href="https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/how-tos/secure-at-scale/configure-organization-security/manage-usage-and-access/giving-org-access-private-registries">configured
private registries</a> in Default Setup to retrieve CodeQL configuration
files from remote repositories that require authentication. This will
allow customers to store their CodeQL configuration in a single
repository that can then be referenced by Default Setup workflows in
other repositories. We expect to roll this and other, related changes
out to everyone in July. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4007">#4007</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>4.37.1 - 16 Jul 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li><em>Upcoming breaking change</em>: Add a deprecation warning for
customers using CodeQL version 2.20.6 and earlier. These versions of
CodeQL were discontinued on 1 July 2026 alongside GitHub Enterprise
Server 3.16, and will be unsupported by the next minor release of the
CodeQL Action. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3956">#3956</a></li>
<li>Update default CodeQL bundle version to <a
href="https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases/tag/codeql-bundle-v2.26.1">2.26.1</a>.
<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/4019">#4019</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>4.37.0 - 08 Jul 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li>Update default CodeQL bundle version to <a
href="https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases/tag/codeql-bundle-v2.26.0">2.26.0</a>.
<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3995">#3995</a></li>
<li>In addition to the existing input format, the
<code>config-file</code> input for the <code>codeql-action/init</code>
step will soon support a new <code>[owner/]repo[@ref][:path]</code>
format. All components except the repository name are optional. If
omitted, <code>owner</code> defaults to the same owner as the repository
the analysis is running for, <code>ref</code> to <code>main</code>, and
<code>path</code> to <code>.github/codeql-action.yaml</code>. Support
for this format ships in this version of the CodeQL Action, but will
only be enabled over the coming weeks. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3973">#3973</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>4.36.3 - 01 Jul 2026</h2>
<p>No user facing changes.</p>
<h2>4.36.2 - 04 Jun 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li>Cache CodeQL CLI version information across Actions steps. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3943">#3943</a></li>
<li>Reduce requests while waiting for analysis processing by using
exponential backoff when polling SARIF processing status. <a
href="https://redirect.github.com/github/codeql-action/pull/3937">#3937</a></li>
<li>Update default CodeQL bundle version to <a
href="https://github.com/github/codeql-action/releases/tag/codeql-bundle-v2.25.6">2.25.6</a>.

<h2>4.36.0 - 22 May 2026</h2>
<ul>
<li><em>Breaking change</em>: Bump the minimum required CodeQL bundle
