This pull request adds Vercel Analytics to the application, enabling tracking of user interactions and site performance. The main changes are the installation of the analytics package and its integration into the root layout so that analytics are collected across all pages.

Analytics integration:

  • Added @vercel/analytics as a dependency in package.json.
  • Imported the Analytics component from @vercel/analytics/next in app/layout.tsx.
  • Included the <Analytics /> component in the root layout, ensuring analytics are loaded on every page.

Implemented Vercel Web Analytics for Next.js App Router project.

## Changes Made

### Installed Package
- Added `@vercel/analytics` (v1.6.1) to project dependencies using npm install

### Modified Files

1. **app/layout.tsx** - Root layout component
   - Added import: `import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/next';`
   - Added `<Analytics />` component inside the `<body>` tag after `{children}`
   - This ensures analytics tracking is active across all pages in the App Router

### File Changes Summary
- Created/Modified: 2 files
  - `app/layout.tsx` - Added Analytics import and component
  - `package.json` - Added @vercel/analytics dependency
  - `package-lock.json` - Updated with new dependency and its transitive dependencies

## Implementation Details

### Why These Changes?
1. **Package Installation**: The @vercel/analytics package was installed using npm, which is the project's package manager (detected via package-lock.json).

2. **App Router Configuration**: Since this project uses Next.js App Router (identified by the `/app` directory structure), the Analytics component was:
   - Imported from '@vercel/analytics/next'
   - Added to the root layout file (`app/layout.tsx`) for maximum coverage
   - Placed inside the `<body>` tag after `{children}` as recommended

3. **Placement Strategy**: By adding Analytics to the root layout, it automatically instruments all pages and routes in the application without requiring individual component modifications.

## Verification

✅ Build completed successfully with no errors
✅ TypeScript compilation successful
✅ ESLint check passed with no linting issues
✅ All pages generated (/, /_not-found, /archive, /sitemap.xml)

## Notes

- The implementation follows Next.js and Vercel Analytics best practices
- The Analytics component is fully compatible with Next.js 16.0.10
- No existing code structure was modified; only necessary additions were made
- The package requires zero configuration for basic usage
- Analytics will be collected automatically when the site is deployed to Vercel
