Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(seo): add comprehensive SEO engine with JSON-LD,
 Open Graph, and per-page components

- Add src/components/SEO/ directory with complete SEO engine
  - seo.config.js: site identity, domain, geo, social handles
  - schemas.js: 7 JSON-LD builders (WebSite, Organization, Event, Breadcrumb, FAQ, ImageGallery)
  - SEOHead.js: core Head component with OG, Twitter Cards, AI/LLM meta
  - 10 per-page SEO components (HomeSEO, AboutSEO, EventsSEO, etc.)
- Add public/robots.txt with crawler directives and sitemap reference
- Add src/pages/sitemap.xml.js with dynamic event sitemap generation
- Add SSR data fetching to events/[id] for SEO-friendly event pages
- Update _app.js: remove duplicate OG tags, keep only PWA meta
- Update _document.js: add geo tags, author, publisher meta
- Integrate SEO into: home, events, event detail, team, gallery, cart, checkout pages

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(seo): address all review comments before merge
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- robots.txt: remove cart/checkout disallow (handled by noindex meta),
  scope /_next/ rules to allow static assets but block image optimizer
- Fix HTML entity encoding bug (&quot;) in HomeSEO, GallerySEO,
  RegisterSEO, TeamSEO descriptions — now uses proper apostrophe
- SEOHead: escape </script> sequences in JSON-LD via \u003c to prevent XSS
- seo.config: add centralized fest stats (competitionCount, participantCount,
  departmentCount) — schemas.js now interpolates instead of hardcoding
- schemas.js: remove contradictory fest-level offers block, set
  isAccessibleForFree: true (fest entry is free, individual events vary)
- events/[id].js: fix seoEvent field mapping — event.title (not .name),
  event.images (not .banner_url), event.departmentName (not .department_name)
- Home page: render HomeSEO inside loading/error early returns so meta tags
  are always present regardless of data-fetch state
- Add SEO to all remaining pages: about, login, register, tickets,
  tickets/verify, checkout/payment-status
- Create TicketsSEO, TicketVerifySEO, PaymentStatusSEO components (noindex)
- sitemap.xml: paginate event fetch loop instead of hard-capping at 500
