feat: add Dockerfile for production deployment

Multi-stage build: Node 18 builds the Vite app, nginx serves
the static output. Nginx config proxies /api/ to the backend
container and handles SPA client-side routing with try_files.

Build args VITE_API_BASE_URL and VITE_APP_NAME are configurable
at build time via docker build --build-arg.

-# EnCoach Frontend — v2
-
-## Branching Workflow
-
-This repo is connected to the staging server via a Git post-receive hook.
-**All deployment is automatic — but only after code review approval.**
-
-### How to contribute
-
-1. Never push directly to `main` — branch protection will block it.
-2. Push your changes to your feature branch (e.g. `feature/full-frontend-v1`)
-3. Open a Pull Request on Gitea targeting `main`
-4. Request review from **devops (Talal)**
-5. Once approved and merged, the staging server rebuilds and redeploys automatically.
-
-### Environment
-
-The `.env` file is **not committed**. It lives only on the staging server at `/opt/encoach/frontend-v2/.env`.
