Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issues #8438, #8439, and #8440, then run pnpm deploy with NEXT_PUBLIC_STATIC_EXPORT_LOCALE=true to measure the current build size and duration. Trace the static-build path from that command and identify the work producing the tens-of-gigabytes output; done means a documented, measurable reduction in CI time and generated size, though the issue provides no target.

Description

Ref: #8438
Ref: #8439
Ref: #8440

Currently, static builds of all locales (pnpm deploy with NEXT_PUBLIC_STATIC_EXPORT_LOCALE=true) take tens of gigabytes and over 20 minutes for CI to compile them.

We should work on reducing this.
