Merge develop into main

[SiegfriedBz]

This pull request promotes several key improvements from the develop branch to main, focusing on wallet-state handling, significant performance optimizations through asset compression, and layout refinements.

Summary of Changes

1. Wallet UX & Connection Logic

• Connection-Gated UI: Replaced chain-dependent controls (submit buttons, sidebar network switches, and stat cards) with "Connect Wallet" prompts when no session is active.
• Stale State Resolution: Implemented useAppKitAccount() as the source of truth for connection status to prevent "stale" wagmi cookies from showing an interactive UI while disconnected.
• Access Improvements: Removed hard redirects in ChainStatsWrapper to ensure pages remain accessible to fresh visitors.
• Consistent Styling: Updated form validation colors to use the standard text-error token instead of text-destructive.

2. Performance & Asset Optimization

• Hero Media Overhaul: Replaced the 1.7MB hero video with a high-priority, optimized Next.js Image. This eliminates buffering delays and improves Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).
• Massive Image Compression: * Hero Image: Compressed from 7.7MB (PNG) to 530KB (JPEG)—a ~93% size reduction with no visible quality loss. * OG Image: Compressed from 1.6MB to 133KB, ensuring compatibility with social crawlers.
• Social Preview Fix: Added explicit dimensions (width/height) and metadata tags to the OpenGraph config to ensure link previews render correctly on WhatsApp and Twitter.

3. Layout & UI Refinements

• Hero Rebalancing: Adjusted the desktop layout to a 57/43 weighted split (media/text) to fix the visual imbalance where the media appeared too small.
• Mobile UX: Increased top padding on hero assets and removed height caps to allow for natural scaling across devices. * Code Cleanup: Deleted the unused hero-video.tsx component and legacy assets.

Impact

• Performance: Drastic reduction in initial page weight (saving ~8MB+ in raw assets).
• UX: Improved clarity for disconnected users, preventing "dead" interactions caused by session-cookie mismatches.
