// Resolve the GitPilot backend base URL — one source of truth for the frontend.
//
// Priority:
//   1) VITE_BACKEND_URL (build-time override; set this on Vercel to the HF Space).
//   2) "" (same-origin / Vite proxy) for local dev on localhost.
//   3) The hosted GitPilot backend, so gitpilot.ruslanmv.com works out of the box
//      even when VITE_BACKEND_URL is unset (no more "Connecting to backend…" freeze).
//
// To point Vercel at a different backend, set VITE_BACKEND_URL in the Vercel
// project's Environment Variables and redeploy.
