[Bug] Featured/Spotlight event is events[0] (unsorted, not the upcoming event)

[ionfwsrijan]

Description

Across src/app/events/page.jsx, src/app/hackathons/page.jsx, and src/app/projects/page.jsx, the "Spotlight / Featured / Spotlight Project" banner always shows events[0] / hackathons[0] / projects[0] — whatever the backend returned first (typically most-recently-created), with no sorting by eventDate and no filtering to upcoming events.

const filteredEvents = events.filter((e) => { /* search/format/location */ });
const featuredEvent = events[0];   // first element of the raw, unsorted API array

Expected Behavior

Choose the soonest upcoming event (sort by eventDate ascending, optionally filter >= now) before picking the featured item.

Actual Behavior

The most prominent marketing surface of the homepage advertises an arbitrary (and possibly past or arbitrarily-ordered) item as the headline event. Combined with the date-handling bugs, a past date-only event can even render as "yesterday."

Proposed Fix

const now = Date.now();
const featuredEvent = [...events]
  .filter((e) => e.eventDate && new Date(e.eventDate).getTime() >= now)
  .sort((a, b) => new Date(a.eventDate) - new Date(b.eventDate))[0] || events[0];
