This resolves the live-reload conflict where automatic file enhancement
was causing unwanted page reloads during content editing in development.

Production mode: Content saved + files enhanced for immediate static deployment
- Add SiteManager for registering and managing static sites with file-based enhancement

immediately update static files without requiring rebuilds or redeployment.
The database remains the single source of truth while maintaining static
file performance benefits.
