Connect Contact Form to API

[WebCraftPhil]

Successfully replaced the mock setTimeout functionality in ContactSection.tsx with a real API call to the /api/contact backend endpoint. The implementation uses the existing apiRequest utility and follows the project's established patterns for form submission, error handling, and toast notifications. Verified the changes through manual code review and chunked file reading.

Reviewer's Guide

Replaces the mocked contact form submission delay with a real POST request to the /api/contact endpoint using the shared apiRequest helper, adding success and error toasts and ensuring submit state is correctly reset in all cases.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Wire contact form submission to backend API with proper success, error handling, and submit-state cleanup.	Import shared apiRequest helper for HTTP calls. Replace setTimeout-based mock submission with an awaited POST request to the /api/contact endpoint using the current form data. Show existing success toast and reset form fields on successful request. Add error toast that surfaces the error message when available and uses a destructive style variant. Ensure isSubmitting is reset in a finally block so the submit button state recovers after both success and failure.	client/src/components/ContactSection.tsx
