The previous verbiage fallback loaded package.json via createRequire(), which broke Astro/Netlify prerender bundling because the relative package.json path is not available inside the generated chunk layout. Replace it with static fallback strings so the app-test text stays populated without depending on runtime file access.
Constraint: Must restore Netlify production builds immediately
Rejected: Revert the verbiage fix entirely | would reintroduce the blank app-test subtitle in production
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep public runtime fallbacks bundle-safe; do not require repo files from prerender/runtime chunks
Tested: pnpm run typecheck (workspace); GitHub Actions failure analysis for netlify-build
Not-tested: Full redeploy completion at commit time
