✨ Enhancement 1: Add product size selection

Description
Currently, products do not have a size option (S/M/L, etc.), which limits usability for fashion/e-commerce flows.

Suggestion

• Add size field in product schema
• Update product add/edit form in Admin Panel
• Allow customers to select size when adding to cart

Medium

• Or show a success toast notification
