Why

The homepage currently reserves space for the Instagram module even when there are no Instagram items available, which wastes above-the-fold real estate and makes the page less relevant.

What Changes

• When the Instagram feed dataset is empty, the homepage MUST omit the Instagram module entirely (not render an empty state block).
• The rest of the homepage modules MUST continue to render normally.

Capabilities

New Capabilities

• (none)

Modified Capabilities

• homepage-content-modules: change the "no Instagram items available" behavior from rendering an empty state to hiding/omitting the Instagram module.

Impact

• Affected UI: homepage module composition and layout.
• Likely code changes in the homepage renderer (e.g., site/src/pages/index.astro) and any Instagram module component(s).
• Tests/verification should cover: with Instagram items => module visible; without items => module omitted.
