Refactor participate page with data-driven card components
Extract submission track data into _data/participate/tracks.yml, create a reusable _includes/submission-track-card.html component, add CSS grid styles to assets/css/style.css, and rewrite participate.md to render all 7 tracks via a Liquid loop. Removes the dense markdown summary table in favour of cards that surface the same information more readably. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Review Process

4228
All submissions are peer-reviewed for quality, relevance, and novelty, which will determine acceptance. Reviewers are expected to provide constructive feedback and maintain confidentiality and fairness throughout the review process. The final decision will be based on reviewer recommendations and program committee deliberations.
4329

4430
**Please note** *— if your Paper, Talk, Notebook, Birds of a Feather, or Workshop submission is rejected we would highly encourage you to consider submitting a Poster for an opportunity to engage with the community. The Poster deadline is intentionally after notification of acceptance or rejection for the other tracks. If your Poster submission is rejected then we would furthermore encourage you to participate in the event via the Rapid Access Microtalks opportunity if you are still interested and able to attend in person.*
