## Vercel Web Analytics Implementation

Successfully implemented Vercel Web Analytics integration for the AlphaCouncil AI project.

### Summary
Integrated Vercel Web Analytics into a Vite + React TypeScript application to track user analytics and page views when deployed to Vercel.

### Changes Made

#### Modified Files:
1. **package.json**
   - Added `@vercel/analytics` package (version ^1.4.0) to dependencies

2. **index.tsx** (Main entry point)
   - Imported the `inject` function from `@vercel/analytics`
   - Called `inject()` at the start of the application to initialize analytics tracking
   - This was placed before the React root initialization to ensure analytics are loaded early

### Implementation Details

**Framework Choice:** This project is a React application using Vite (not Next.js or another framework), so according to the Vercel Web Analytics guide, the `inject()` function was the appropriate choice. This function:
- Adds the tracking script to the application
- Should only be called once (done in the entry point)
- Must run in the client (which it does in index.tsx)
- Note: There is no route support with this implementation, but that's acceptable for this application

### Pre-Deployment Requirements
Before this analytics integration becomes active, you must:
1. Enable Web Analytics on the Vercel dashboard for this project (Analytics tab > Enable)
2. Deploy the application to Vercel (deployment will add new routes at `/_vercel/insights/*`)

### Post-Deployment
Once deployed to Vercel and users visit the site, you can:
1. View analytics data in the Vercel dashboard (Analytics tab)
2. Track visitor metrics and page views automatically
3. Monitor network requests for `/_vercel/insights/view` calls to verify tracking is working

### Testing
- ✅ Build completed successfully with no errors
- ✅ No TypeScript compilation errors
- ✅ Project maintains existing functionality

### Notes
- The package-lock.json is in .gitignore per project configuration, so only source files are staged
- Analytics will only track data after deployment to Vercel (development environment will not send data)
- The implementation is minimal and non-breaking - existing code and functionality remain unchanged
