Subject: [PATCH] perf(seo): response compression, security headers, immutable
 upload cache
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Now that the origin serves directly (no CDN compressing for us):
- Add gzip + brotli response compression — homepage HTML 84KB -> ~25KB
  (~71% smaller), big Core Web Vitals / crawl-budget win
- Baseline security headers on every response: X-Content-Type-Options,
  X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy (no HSTS yet — cert just stabilised)
- Long-cache immutable GUID uploads (Cache-Control max-age=30d,immutable)

Verified locally: gzip+br negotiated, headers present, uploads cached.
