Subject: [PATCH] fix: Add production build process for server

This commit introduces a production-ready build process for the Node.js server to resolve deployment issues on platforms like Render.

- A `tsconfig.server.json` file is added to handle the compilation of the TypeScript server code.
- The `package.json` scripts have been updated:
  - A `build` script now compiles both the frontend (Vite) and the backend (tsc).
  - A `start` script is added to run the compiled JavaScript server, which is the correct practice for a production environment.

This replaces the previous development-only approach of using `ts-node` in the start command.
