Add HSTS header with a 1-year max-age and includeSubDomains flag to improve security for production deployments. This ensures browsers will always connect via HTTPS after the first visit. The existing security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Referrer-Policy) are preserved.

Summary
Adds the
Strict-Transport-Security(HSTS) header to the nginx configuration to enforce HTTPS connections in production deployments.Changes
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" always;to the security headers blockWhy
The nginx config already sets several security headers (
X-Frame-Options,X-Content-Type-Options,X-XSS-Protection,Referrer-Policy) but was missing HSTS. This header tells browsers to always connect via HTTPS after the first visit, helping protect against protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.Impact
