Remove unused files including documentation and update .gitignore for build/test artifacts

[Copilot]

This PR cleans up unused development artifacts, test files, and documentation from the repository while carefully preserving all files that are actually used in the codebase or installation processes.

Files Removed (28 total)

From root directory:

• Documentation files (4 files): ADIF_IMPORT_GUIDE.md, INSTALLATION.md, PROPAGATION_FEATURE.md, DATABASE_SETUP.md
• Development test utilities: test-install-check.js, test-propagation.sh
• Build artifacts: .next.bak/ directory, test-results/ directory

From scripts/ directory:

• scripts/docker-clean.sh - Docker cleanup utility with no references in codebase
• scripts/docker-dev.sh - Docker development utility with no references in codebase

From test directories:

• Entire playwright-report/ directory (18 files) - Auto-generated test reports and traces

Files Preserved

Root directory:

• README.md - Main project documentation (restored as requested)
• vercel.json - Vercel deployment configuration
• postgres-lotw-migration.sql - Referenced in Docker/installation documentation
• propagation-schema.sql - Referenced in feature documentation
• .env.docker - Docker environment configuration

.gitignore Updated

Added entries to prevent future commits of build and test artifacts:

/playwright-report
/test-results
/.next.bak/

Analysis Process

Conducted thorough analysis to ensure only truly unused files were removed:

1. Searched for references across the entire codebase using grep
2. Verified installation dependencies by checking all shell scripts and Docker files
3. Confirmed database migration patterns that use wildcard matching
4. Validated that all preserved files have verified usage

Verification

Both linting and building pass without issues:

npm run build # ✅ Compiled successfully, all 79 routes generated

The cleanup removes documentation files and development artifacts while preserving complete functionality of the Nextlog amateur radio logging application, including the main project README.

Fixes #111.

@copilot are the markdown (.md) files actually being used? I want to remove those especially in the root of the project

Removed all 5 markdown documentation files from the root directory: README.md, ADIF_IMPORT_GUIDE.md, INSTALLATION.md, PROPAGATION_FEATURE.md, and DATABASE_SETUP.md. These were standalone documentation files not referenced in the application code. Build still completes successfully with all 79 routes generated.
