chore: remove Sentry integration
Remove @sentry/nextjs and all related files since it was never actively used.
- Delete sentry.server.config.ts, sentry.edge.config.ts
- Delete sentry-example-page and sentry-example-api routes
- Clean up instrumentation.ts, global-error.tsx, middleware.ts
- Remove Sentry env vars from env.example and docs
- Update CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md, PRODUCTION_READINESS.md

Middleware bundle reduced from 86KB to 34.8KB (-51KB).

    • Ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance
  2. Performance optimization

    • Review bundle size with analyzer
    • Lazy load non-critical components
    • Optimize database queries
  3. Backup strategy

    • Automated database backups
    • Recovery testing

Low Priority

  1. Enhanced monitoring

    • Performance metrics dashboard
  2. Advanced features

    • Progressive Web App (PWA)
    • Offline support

🚀 Deployment Checklist

Before deploying to production:
