design: de-slop public pages, Hindi typography, survivor flow clarity

- Replace emoji tier icons with stroked SVGs; de-card privacy list and
  escalation timeline; full-bleed teal closing band; redacted notice
  preview artifact on home
- Load Noto Serif Devanagari for Hindi headings; zero letter-spacing
  and taller line-height for lang=hi
- Translate Emergency/Privacy in hi.json; i18n for FAQ/Menu/Resources
  nav links
- Add 4-step FlowProgress indicator across eligibility, register,
  submit, review-sign
- On-device fingerprinting reassurance copy; plain-language rewrite of
  Rule 3(2)(b) confirmation line
