🖼️ Fix broken Public Lab project image link

📌 Problem

The image for the Public Lab project card failed to load because the original external link was invalid:

[https://code.publiclab.org/images/Boots-ground-02.png](https://code.publiclab.org/images/Boots-ground-02.png)

This resulted in a browser request error:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

As a result:

• The project card showed a default placeholder icon
• Lighthouse flagged the issue under Best Practices
• Missing image reduced the visual quality and clarity for contributors

---

🛠️ Solution

I replaced the broken external image URL with a valid local image asset stored within the repository.

- imageSrc: "https://code.publiclab.org/images/Boots-ground-02.png",
+ imageSrc: "/publiclab.png",

This ensures:

• consistent rendering
• no external dependency
• no image load errors
• reduced Lighthouse issues

🔍 Changes Made

✔️ Added replacement image file into the project's image folder
✔️ Updated image path in src/data/projects.js
✔️ Eliminated dependency on inaccessible remote resource

🧪 Testing & Verification

Local Test Process

1. Run:

   npm run dev
   

2. Open the site at http://localhost:4321/

3. Locate the Public Lab project card

4. Confirm:

5. Run Lighthouse with Best Practices enabled
