Replace Vercel SSR (fallback: "blocking") with Next.js static export (`output: 'export'`), enabling deployment to any static host (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, etc.) for free. Approach: - Changelog pagination pages (~970) are fully statically generated - Commit/item detail pages use client-side rendering with pre-built JSON data chunks fetched at runtime - Data is chunked by SHA prefix (256 buckets) for efficient loading - _redirects provides SPA fallback for client-rendered routes New files: - scripts/buildStaticData.ts: pre-builds JSON data chunks - data/clientDatabase.ts: browser-side data fetching - components/ClientCommitPage.tsx, ClientItemPage.tsx: shared UI Build produces ~3000 files in ~35 seconds (vs. 50k+ pages that previously timed out).

Add shell index.tsx pages alongside [sha].tsx/[name].tsx dynamic routes. The shell pages generate HTML for _redirects SPA fallback (direct URL access), while the dynamic routes register in Next.js's client-side router (so <Link> navigation works correctly). Reverts the <Link> → <a> changes since proper dynamic routes make client-side navigation work as expected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
