Implement Phased Upgrade Plan for TailAdmin React Dashboard

Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive 5-phase upgrade plan for the TailAdmin React dashboard, covering dependency updates, testing infrastructure modernization, build improvements, code quality enhancements, and CI/CD automation.

Phase 1 - Dependencies: Updated FullCalendar (6.1.15→6.1.19), apexcharts (4.1.0→5.3.6), react-apexcharts (1.7.0→1.9.0), and react-router (7.1.5→7.10.1). Added npm audit script and fixed js-yaml vulnerability.

Phase 2 - Testing: Migrated from Python-based Selenium/Playwright tests to TypeScript-based Vitest (unit) and Playwright (E2E). Added tests for ThemeContext and SidebarContext.

Phase 3 - Build: Enhanced Vite config with path aliases (@, @components, etc.), code splitting (vendor/charts/calendar chunks), and bundle visualization. Updated ESLint ecmaVersion to 2022.

Phase 4 - Code Quality: Refactored SidebarContext from multiple useState calls to useReducer for better state management. Added Husky + lint-staged for pre-commit hooks.

Phase 5 - CI/CD: Added GitHub Actions workflows for CI (lint, typecheck, test, build, e2e), security audits, and deployment pipelines.

Updates since last revision

• Fixed E2E navigation tests for Forms, Tables, and Charts pages - tests now properly expand dropdown menus before clicking nested links
• Fixed 404 page test to match actual page text ("can't seem to find the page" instead of literal "404")
• All 7 CI checks now passing (Lint, Type Check, Unit Tests, Build, E2E Tests, NPM Audit, Dependency Review)

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify chart rendering - apexcharts was upgraded from v4 to v5 (major version). Manually test that all charts on the dashboard render correctly and look as expected
• Test sidebar functionality - SidebarContext was refactored to use useReducer. Verify sidebar expand/collapse, mobile menu toggle, and submenu behavior work correctly
• Verify React 19 compatibility - Dependency overrides remain for react-helmet-async and @react-jvectormap packages that don't officially support React 19. Check for console warnings/errors
• Run E2E tests locally - The new Playwright tests use flexible selectors; verify they actually test the intended functionality by running npm run test:e2e

Recommended test plan:

1. Run npm install && npm run dev
2. Navigate through all dashboard pages, especially charts (line/bar) and calendar
3. Test sidebar on desktop and mobile viewports
4. Toggle dark mode
5. Run npm run test and npm run test:e2e -- --project=chromium

Notes

• The deploy.yml workflow is a placeholder template - actual deployment steps need to be configured for your infrastructure
• Dependency overrides for React 19 compatibility remain necessary until upstream packages add official support
• Build now produces separate chunks for vendor, charts, and calendar libraries for better caching
• Dependency Review CI step uses continue-on-error: true because it requires Dependency Graph to be enabled in repository settings
