💡 What: Refactored the cn function in apps/web/src/lib/cn.ts to use manual iteration and string concatenation rather than Array.prototype.map and join().

🎯 Why: The cn function is called constantly on a highly trafficked hot path during Preact render cycles. The previous array allocation and garbage collection (from parts.filter(Boolean).join(' ')) caused unnecessary overhead in memory and CPU.

📊 Impact: Reduces intermediate array generation and garbage collection, resulting in a ~4x speed improvement based on micro-benchmarks. This effectively lowers the memory footprint for component tree reconciliation.

🔬 Measurement:
A test micro-benchmark was performed:

iterations = 1,000,000;
cn_old: 501.092862ms
cn_new: 124.136694ms

Running pnpm run test:web completes without failures and existing components continue to merge standard, empty, false, and null classnames efficiently.

Closing: micro-optimization of cn() with no measurable user-facing gain, same as #275/#276 which were already closed.
