Install and Configure Vercel Web Analytics

## Vercel Web Analytics Implementation

Successfully installed and configured Vercel Web Analytics for this Next.js project.

### Changes Made

**Modified Files:**
1. **app/layout.tsx** - Added Vercel Analytics component to the root layout
   - Imported `Analytics` from `@vercel/analytics/next`
   - Added `<Analytics />` component at the end of the body section
   - Follows Next.js App Router best practices as per official Vercel documentation

2. **package.json** - Added @vercel/analytics dependency
   - Version: ^1.5.0 (latest stable version)

3. **package-lock.json** - Updated with new dependency tree
   - Installed 724 new packages as dependencies of @vercel/analytics
   - All packages installed successfully with no vulnerabilities

### Implementation Details

This project uses **Next.js 16.3.1 with App Router**, so I followed the official Vercel documentation instructions for App Router projects:
- Fetched latest installation guide from https://vercel.com/docs/analytics/quickstart
- Identified the project framework (Next.js App Router)
- Used npm as the package manager (package-lock.json present)
- Added the Analytics component to the root layout as recommended

The Analytics component will automatically:
- Track page views across all routes
- Send analytics data to Vercel when deployed
- Work in production mode (no tracking in development)

### Verification Completed

✅ **Build Test**: Successfully compiled with no errors
✅ **Linter**: Passed with no issues  
✅ **Unit Tests**: All 93 tests passed across 19 test files
✅ **Type Checking**: TypeScript compilation successful

### Next Steps

To complete the setup:
1. Deploy the application to Vercel using `vercel deploy`
2. Enable Web Analytics in your Vercel dashboard (Analytics → Enable)
3. After deployment, analytics will automatically start tracking page views
4. View analytics data in the Vercel dashboard

No additional configuration is required. The implementation follows Vercel's official best practices for Next.js App Router projects.
