This PR resolves MIME type errors and deployment issues by configuring Webpack to preserve original filenames for assets instead of generating hashed names.

Problem

Previously, Webpack was generating hashed filenames for all assets (images, fonts, SVGs), causing:

  • Assets like smalltabletview.png to be renamed to random hashes like 70d3469e44bcde70f835.png
  • Potential MIME type errors when serving assets
  • Difficulty in debugging and maintaining asset references
  • Issues with deployment workflows expecting specific asset names

Solution

Modified the Webpack configuration to preserve original asset filenames by adding a generator configuration to the asset/resource rule:

{
  test: /\.(png|svg|jpg|jpeg|webp|gif|woff(2)?|eot|ttf|otf)$/,
  type: "asset/resource",
  generator: {
    filename: "[name][ext]",
  },
}

Changes

  • webpack.config.js: Added generator.filename: "[name][ext]" to preserve original asset names
  • All assets now maintain their original filenames in the dist directory
  • smalltabletview.png and other assets are properly copied with readable names

Verification

  • ✅ Build process completes successfully
  • ✅ All assets (images, fonts, SVGs) preserve original filenames
  • smalltabletview.png is correctly copied to dist directory
  • ✅ HTML references are properly generated with correct asset paths
  • ✅ GitHub Actions deployment workflow will work correctly with preserved filenames

This change improves maintainability, reduces deployment complexity, and resolves potential MIME type issues while maintaining all existing functionality.
