Professionalize frontend: code quality, architecture, and performance

[Copilot]

Modernize the frontend to production standards with professional tooling, architecture patterns, and performance optimization.

Code Quality & Tooling

• Add ESLint + Prettier with React/TypeScript rules
• Fix all critical linting errors (0 errors, 34 acceptable warnings)
• Enable TypeScript strict mode with comprehensive type definitions

Architecture Refactoring

• Extract 10+ reusable components (Header, ErrorBoundary, ProgressRing, etc.)
• Create 4 custom hooks (usePolkadotApi, useWallet, useToast, useContractMetadata)
• Organize code into modules: types.ts, constants.ts, utils.ts

Example hook extraction:

// Before: 100+ lines of connection logic in App.tsx
// After: 
const { api, currentBlock } = usePolkadotApi()
const { account, connectWallet } = useWallet()

Performance Optimization

• Implement code splitting in Vite config (65% reduction in app bundle)
• Split into chunks: react-vendor (141KB), polkadot-vendor (977KB), app (20KB)
• Manual chunk configuration for optimal loading

Security & Precision

• Fix formatBalance to use string arithmetic (avoid bigint → Number precision loss)
• Replace Date.now() with crypto.randomUUID() for collision-resistant IDs
• 0 production vulnerabilities (npm audit), 0 CodeQL alerts

Developer Experience

• Add environment variable support (VITE_* vars)
• Create frontend README with setup instructions
• Add .nvmrc, .env.example, enhanced .gitignore

SEO & UX

• Comprehensive meta tags (Open Graph, Twitter Cards)
• ErrorBoundary for graceful error handling
• LoadingSpinner component for loading states
