Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: prevent duplicate site name in page title when no
 page meta

When a page has no pageMeta or is missing a title, the fallback chain
resolves to the site name, causing titles like "Player2Clubs | Player2Clubs".

Now checks if meta.title equals the site name and renders the title alone
in that case, rather than duplicating it.
