/**
 * CV Page Configuration Data
 * Reads config from indiekit-endpoint-cv plugin CV page builder.
 * Falls back to null — cv.njk then uses the default hardcoded layout.
 *
 * The CV plugin writes a .indiekit/cv-page.json file that Eleventy watches.
 * On change, a rebuild picks up the new config, allowing layout changes
 * without a Docker rebuild.
