Subject: [PATCH] feat: read CV data from plugin file instead of hardcoded
 defaults

_data/cv.js now reads from content/.indiekit/cv.json written by the
CV plugin, matching the homepageConfig.js pattern. Falls back to
empty defaults when no plugin is installed.

- * CV Data — Empty defaults.
+ * CV Data — reads from indiekit-endpoint-cv plugin data file.
  *
- * When the indiekit-endpoint-cv plugin is installed, it serves CV data
- * via its API endpoint and the homepage plugin renders it.
+ * The CV plugin writes content/.indiekit/cv.json on every save
+ * and on startup. Eleventy reads that file here.
  *
- * Without the plugin, users can edit this file directly:
- *   - Add entries to the `experience` array
- *   - Add entries to the `projects` array
- *   - Modify the `skills` object
+ * Falls back to empty defaults if no plugin is installed.
