[Issue #299] Perf: Compress Static Assets with Brotli

[Ogstevyn]

The Next.js production build does not explicitly configure Brotli compression. JS/CSS bundles are served gzip-only, missing ~20% size reduction from Brotli.\n\nConfigure Brotli compression in next.config.js. Verify Vercel serves Brotli by checking Content-Encoding: br response header.\n\nAcceptance Criteria: JS bundle responses include Content-Encoding: br header on Vercel.\n\nFiles: next.config.js (Modify)
