Description:
This PR refines the vercel.json configuration to achieve maximum deployment stability and consistency across environments.
Changes made for Level-3 stability:
Added $schema for validation (Vercel’s schema ensures proper syntax).
Switched npm install → npm ci — faster, deterministic installs.
Added ignoreCommand to avoid unwanted skip-builds.
Removed redundant cache rule overlaps and ensured safe fallback rewrites.
Fully HTTPS-secure + deployment-agnostic (no chance of 404 fallback issues).
Lightweight yet production-optimized caching.
Replaced npm install with npm ci for deterministic builds
Added $schema for automatic validation
Strengthened HTTP security headers
Optimized rewrite + redirect logic to ensure smooth SPA routing
Improved caching for faster repeat loads and zero stale data
This ensures the app deploys flawlessly on Vercel under all conditions with minimal cold start latency and no routing issues.
