Description

Issue with current documentation:

Currently the embeded REPL on the https://numpy.org landing page shows a REPL with the prompt cell at the bottom, which can be confusing to some users:

Idea or request for content:

As a quick heads-up, JupyterLite 0.6.0 (currently in beta) will allow changing the position of the prompt cell: https://jupyterlite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html#enhanced-repl-options

Just wanted to bring this up in case folks would be interested in tweaking a couple of settings for the current REPL.

cc @agriyakhetarpal who opened a similar issue on another repo (also in case a common single deployment for scientific Python is still something to consider).

Research direction

Start at the embedded REPL on the NumPy landing page and review JupyterLite's enhanced REPL options in the 0.6.0 changelog. Update the relevant REPL settings so the prompt cell appears at the top, then verify that the landing-page embed displays the new position.
