Important Notes

• Node.js version: Next.js 15 requires Node.js ^18.18.0 || ^19.8.0 || >= 20.0.0. Use nvm to manage versions.
• Static export: next export was removed in Next.js 15. Static export is configured via output: "export" in next.config.js and runs automatically during next build.
• Images: Next.js image imports (e.g. import img from "./photo.jpg") return an object, not a string. Use img.src when passing to a plain <img> tag. Image optimization is disabled (images.unoptimized: true) for static export compatibility.
• sharp: The sharp package is required for image processing during build. It is listed as a dependency.
