Add lesson, dashboard, and course pages with session management (#801)

* Add lesson and dashboard pages with layout, SEO, and session handling

- Implemented lesson page for web development module with video, content, and assignment sections.
- Added dashboard page displaying user stats, current courses, upcoming assignments, and recent activity.
- Integrated session management using next-auth for user authentication.
- Included breadcrumb navigation and SEO optimization for both pages.

* Refactor authentication and session management

- Updated AdminDashboard to use new styling for links and admin indicator.
- Enhanced GitHub sign-in logic to allow development mode and specific user access.
- Implemented a fallback for session management in CoursesIndex and Profile pages, allowing for a development session.
- Created a new DevLogin page for testing purposes, enabling a quick bypass of GitHub OAuth.
- Introduced a custom hook `useDevSession` to manage development sessions.

* Add AI Engineering, Data Engineering, and Software Engineering course pages with modules, prerequisites, and session handling

* feat: update environment configuration and improve build process for Vercel deployment

+# Database Migration Guide for Production
+
+## Current Setup (Development)
+
+- **Database**: SQLite (file:./dev.db)
+- **Pros**:
+    - Zero setup required
+    - Perfect for development
+    - Data persists between restarts
+- **Cons**:
+    - Single file, not scalable for multiple users
+    - Limited concurrent access
+
+## Production Options
+
+### Option 1: PostgreSQL (Recommended)
+
+**Best for production with multiple users**
+
+```bash
+# Example production DATABASE_URL
+DATABASE_URL="postgresql://username:password@hostname:5432/vwc_production"
+```
+
+**Hosting Options:**
+
+- **Vercel Postgres**: Seamless integration with Vercel deployment
+- **Supabase**: Free tier available, great for startups
+- **PlanetScale**: MySQL-compatible, auto-scaling
+- **Railway**: Simple deployment with PostgreSQL
+- **AWS RDS**: Enterprise-grade, scalable
+
+### Option 2: Keep SQLite (For Small Scale)
+
+**If you have < 50 concurrent users**
+
+```bash
+# Production SQLite with better location
+DATABASE_URL="file:/app/data/production.db"
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+
+- Simple deployment
+- No additional database server needed
+- Good for small veteran cohorts
+
+### Option 3: Hybrid Approach
+
+**Start with SQLite, migrate when needed**
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Launch with SQLite for first cohort
+2. **Phase 2**: Migrate to PostgreSQL when scaling
+3. **Migration**: Prisma handles schema migration automatically
+
+## Migration Steps (When Ready)
+
+### 1. Update Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# In production .env
+DATABASE_URL="postgresql://..."
+```
+
+### 2. Run Prisma Migration
+
+```bash
+npx prisma db push
+npx prisma generate
+```
+
+### 3. Data Migration (if needed)
+
+```bash
+# Export from SQLite
+npx prisma db seed
+
+# Import to PostgreSQL
+# (Prisma handles this automatically)
+```
+
+## Current Data Storage
+
+Your platform currently stores:
+
+- ✅ User profiles with military background
+- ✅ Course progress and enrollments
+- ✅ Assignment submissions and files
+- ✅ Admin analytics and tracking
+
+## File Storage
+
+For user-uploaded files (avatars, assignments):
+
+- **Current**: Local file system
+- **Production**: Consider cloud storage (AWS S3, Cloudinary, Vercel Blob)
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**For VWC Launch:**
+
+1. **Start with current SQLite setup** - it's perfect for initial launch
+2. **Monitor usage** - migrate to PostgreSQL when you have 20+ concurrent users
+3. **Plan migration** - Prisma makes this transition seamless
+
+The platform is production-ready with SQLite for your first veteran cohorts!

+# Deployment Configuration
+
+## Quick Fix for Current Build Issues
+
+The build failure was caused by Prisma trying to run migrations during the Vercel build process without a proper database connection.
+
+### Changes Made:
+
+1. **Updated `package.json`**:
+
+    - Changed `vercel-build` script from `prisma generate && prisma migrate deploy && next build`
+    - To: `prisma generate && next build`
+    - This removes the migration step that was failing
+
+2. **Environment Setup**:
+    - Created `.env.local` for local development with SQLite
+    - Created `.env.example` for reference
+    - SQLite works for development, but production will need PostgreSQL
+
+### Current Status:
+
+- ✅ Build should now work on Vercel
+- ✅ Local development works with SQLite
+- ⚠️ Production database needs proper setup
+
+## Next Steps for Production
+
+For a production deployment, you'll need to:
+
+1. **Set up a PostgreSQL database** (recommended providers):
+
+    - Vercel Postgres (easiest integration)
+    - Railway
+    - Supabase
+    - PlanetScale
+
+2. **Update Prisma schema** for PostgreSQL:
+
+    ```prisma
+    datasource db {
+      provider = "postgresql"
+      url      = env("DATABASE_URL")
+    }
+    ```
+
+3. **Set environment variables in Vercel**:
+
+    - `DATABASE_URL`: Your PostgreSQL connection string
+    - `NEXTAUTH_SECRET`: Random secret for NextAuth
+    - `NEXTAUTH_URL`: Your production URL
+    - `GITHUB_CLIENT_ID` & `GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET`: For OAuth
+
+4. **Run initial migration**:
+    ```bash
+    npx prisma migrate deploy
+    ```
+
+## Local Development
+
+1. Copy `.env.local.example` to `.env.local`
+2. Run `npm run dev:setup` to initialize the SQLite database
+3. Start development with `npm run dev`
+
+## Authentication Setup
+
+The app uses NextAuth with GitHub OAuth. You'll need to:
+
+1. Create a GitHub OAuth App
+2. Set the client ID and secret in your environment variables
+3. Configure the callback URL: `http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/github`
