## Summary

The homepage only listed active GitHub Sponsors, so past sponsors dropped out of the thanks row. It now lists every public sponsorship, past and present, with John Carmack in that row. The document also declares UTF-8, so names like Michaël render instead of Michaël.

## Evidence

- **Before:** the sponsors query used `activeOnly: true`, so the row only showed Nohac and scottwey. The HTML had no charset declaration, and `Michaël` rendered as `Michaël`.
- **After:** the query uses `activeOnly: false` with `includePrivate: false`, and the build-time fallback lists all 11 public sponsors. `_root.tsx` now declares UTF-8; `document.characterSet` is `UTF-8` and the DOM text is `Michaël`. `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit`, `pnpm lint`, `pnpm format:check` and `pnpm build` pass.

## Risk

**Impact:** the homepage sponsors row, plus the charset declaration every page should have had. Private sponsorships stay hidden because the query passes `includePrivate: false`.
