💡 What: Replaced individual click event listeners for [data-lightbox] images with a single delegated event listener on document in js/lightbox.js.
🎯 Why: Previously, the script was executing a querySelectorAll and looping through every matching image to bind an individual click event listener. As the number of images grows, this approach increases memory usage and slows down initial script execution.
📊 Impact: Reduces the number of click event listeners from O(N) to O(1) where N is the number of images. Lowers memory footprint and marginally improves page execution time.
🔬 Measurement: Verify that clicking any image with data-lightbox continues to correctly open the lightbox overlay. Performance profilers will show fewer bound event listeners in the DOM tree.

Replaced individual click event listeners for `[data-lightbox]` images with a single delegated event listener on `document` in `js/lightbox.js`. This reduces memory overhead and initialization time.
