Fix #1056: Web freezing when loading locality map. The countryPolygons.ts file is 4.4MB and was being imported synchronously, causing the main thread to block and the UI to freeze. Solution: - Dynamically import countryPolygons using async import() - Only load the data after the map component mounts - Add loading state for country borders This prevents the large module from blocking the main thread during initial page load.
