Build me a simple static website that acts like a categorized, searchable directory of freedom of information resources. I want a clean home page with category cards and a big search box, separate pages for each main category, and a search page that can quickly find links even if the search is a little fuzzy. Keep it lightweight with plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS, no trackers, no ads, and no heavy framework.

The site should use one JSON file as the single source of truth for all links, with fields like category, subcategory, title, URL, and description. Then add a small Python render script that can regenerate the HTML pages from that data. Include an about page with disclaimer, credits, and legal notes, plus a 404 page, sitemap, and robots file. I also want a keyboard shortcut so pressing / jumps to search.

If possible, include a simple link checker script that can find dead links and write out a report, so the directory stays cleaned up over time. Look up current docs online if you need to.
