Add deployment preview environments for PRs

[Akatenvictor]

What

Configure automatic deployment preview environments for every pull request so reviewers can test changes in a live environment before merging.

Why

Code review alone can't catch all issues. Preview environments let reviewers interact with the actual application, test features, and verify changes work correctly before approving PRs.

Scope

In scope:

• Configure Vercel, Netlify, or similar for PR preview deployments
• Each PR gets a unique preview URL
• Preview environment uses development API endpoints
• Preview URL is posted as a PR comment automatically
• Environment variables are managed per-environment

Out of scope:

• Production deployment pipeline
• Custom domain configuration
• Database seeding for previews
• Multi-region deployment

Acceptance Criteria

• Preview URL generated for each PR
• Preview URL is posted as PR comment
• Preview uses development API endpoints
• Preview deploys automatically on PR creation/update
• Preview is destroyed when PR is closed/merged
• Environment variables are correctly configured

Technical Context

• Check if the project already has Vercel/Netlify integration
• app/next.config.js for environment-specific config
• GitHub Actions or platform-native integration
