Conversation
Removes *.png from .gitattributes LFS tracking so contributors can clone and run the project without git-lfs installed. PNG files in this web project are small UI assets that don't benefit from LFS. Audio (*.mp3, *.wav), video (*.mp4), and 3D model (*.glb) files remain in LFS as they are legitimately large. Fixes contributor onboarding issue where oscg26.png and other PNG assets were stored as LFS pointers, causing Next.js build errors for contributors who cloned without git-lfs. Closes #25

Summary
This PR fixes the build error reported in #25 by migrating all PNG assets from Git LFS to regular git objects.
Root Cause
The .gitattributes file was tracking *.png via Git LFS. When contributors forked and cloned the repo without git-lfs installed, they received broken LFS pointer files instead of the actual PNG binaries, causing Next.js to throw:
\
Module not found: Can't resolve '@/assets/oscg26.png'
