Add comprehensive SEO static checker (#424)

* Add comprehensive SEO static checker that runs before deployment

Implements a production-ready SEO validation system that scans the dist folder and ensures all built pages meet SEO standards. The checker validates 70+ rules across metadata, content, links, images, structured data, and internationalization.

Features:
- Automatically runs after every build via build:after script
- Blocks deployment if critical SEO errors are found
- Highly configurable with granular rule exclusions
- Smart filtering to skip error pages and redirects
- Multiple output formats (console, JSON, SARIF)

Current configuration disables non-critical rules to allow initial deployment. Rules can be gradually enabled as issues are fixed.

* perf: optimize SEO checker with parallel processing

- Rewrite parser.ts with parallel file I/O using fs/promises
- Add parallel directory traversal for faster file discovery
- Process HTML files in batches of 200 for optimal memory usage
- Add file existence caching to avoid redundant filesystem checks
- Run page checks in parallel batches of 500 with setImmediate
- Execute site-wide checks (duplicates, robots, sitemap) concurrently

Performance: ~109s for 6085 pages (previously ~142s)

+## SEO Static Checker
+
+The project includes a comprehensive SEO static checker that runs after each build. It validates:
+
+- Metadata (title, description, canonical, charset, lang)
+- HTML validity (duplicate tags, doctype, duplicate IDs)
+- Content length (title, description, H1 length limits)
+- Headings (H1 presence, heading hierarchy)
+- Links (broken links, empty hrefs, generic anchor text)
+- Images (alt attributes, broken images, file size)
+- Social tags (OpenGraph, Twitter cards)
+- International SEO (hreflang validation)
+- Structured data (JSON-LD validation)
+- Duplicates (across pages)
+
+### Configuration
+
+- `seo-checker.config.json` - Main configuration file
+- `seo-checker.exclusions.json` - Specific issue exclusions
+
+### Excluding Issues
+
+To exclude a specific issue, add it to `seo-checker.exclusions.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "exclusions": [
+    {
+      "fingerprint": "SEO00147::blog/old-post/index.html::/broken-link",
+      "reason": "Legacy link, intentionally kept for redirects"
+    },
+    {
+      "ruleId": "SEO00153",
+      "filePath": "icons/**/*.html",
+      "reason": "Icon pages use decorative images"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Exclusion types (from most to least specific):
+1. `fingerprint` - Exact issue match (rule + file + element)
+2. `ruleId` + `filePath` - Rule for specific file pattern
+3. `ruleId` + `elementPattern` - Rule for specific element content
+4. `ruleId` - Disable entire rule (use config.rules.disabled instead)
+
 ## Common Commands
 
 ```bash
-bun run dev       # Start development server
-bun run build     # Build for production
-bun run preview   # Preview production build
+bun run dev           # Start development server
+bun run build         # Build for production
+bun run preview       # Preview production build
+bun run seo:check     # Run SEO checker manually
+bun run seo:check:json  # Output as JSON
+bun run seo:check:report  # Save report to file
