#52 Add Boston-Based Student Question

[Copilot]

Adds a required question to page 2 of the senator application asking whether the applicant will be on the Boston campus for the entirety of their potential term, with a conditional explanation field when the answer is "No".

Changes

• Prisma schema + migration — two new columns on applications: bostonCampus Boolean @default(true) and bostonCampusExplanation String?
• Zod schema — bostonCampus required boolean (no form default, forcing explicit selection); cross-field refinement requiring a non-empty bostonCampusExplanation when bostonCampus === false
• Form UI (page 2) — yes/no radio group appended after campaignBlurb; explanation <textarea> conditionally rendered on "No" selection
• Server action — ApplicationData type and submitApplication payload updated to forward both new fields to the data layer
