This commit addresses the TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'focus') that occurs when the skip-link component attempts to focus on an element that does not exist in the DOM, specifically on the /details/:username/:cuid/:version/ route.

The root cause was identified as SkipLinkComponent.goToContent() calling document.getElementById(value).focus() without a null guard. When document.getElementById('pageContent') returns null (because the element is absent), calling .focus() on it throws the TypeError.

The fix implements optional chaining (?.) on the .focus() call, changing document.getElementById(value).focus() to document.getElementById(value)?.focus(). This ensures that the .focus() method is only called if document.getElementById(value) returns a non-null element, gracefully handling cases where the target element is not present without throwing an error.
