# Next.js 16 & Turbopack Migration Protocol
- Deprecate `react-router-dom`: replace with `next/navigation` and `next/link`.
- Detect any component using hooks (`useState`, `useEffect`) or events; prepend `'use client';`.
- Transform `index.html` root into `app/layout.tsx` using `next/font/google` and `Metadata`.
- In Next.js 16, migrate `middleware.ts` to `proxy.ts` to avoid deprecation warnings.
- In `next.config.ts`, declare `turbo: {}` and `experimental: { optimizeCss: true }`.
- Run production validation via `next build` before committing to Netlify.
⚡ Antigravity Agent Master Prompt
Migrate this repository from Vite + React SPA to Next.js 16 with Turbopack:
1. Update `package.json` with `next@16.1.1` and `react@19`.
2. Convert `src/App.tsx` routes into App Router segment folders under `app/`.
3. Separate Client Components by adding `'use client'` to interactive modules.
4. Replace legacy `middleware.ts` with Next.js 16 route `proxy.ts`.
5. Enable `optimizeCss: true` in `next.config.ts`.
6. Verify production build passes `next build` with zero errors.

Why Turbopack in Next.js 16 Outperforms Webpack and Rollup
1. Function-Level Incremental Cache: Rather than re-bundling entire modules on change, Turbopack caches the evaluated results of individual AST functions in a persistent memory graph.
2. Rust Memory Layout: Zero garbage collection pauses. Native Rust structs and parallel rayon work-stealing threads compile code across all available CPU cores simultaneously.
3. Native CSS Optimization: Eliminates PostCSS/LightningCSS round-trip overhead by performing critical CSS inlining directly during the layout synthesis pass.
The 5 Next.js 16 Migration Traps & Automated Diagnostic Suite Automated Engine
Common pitfalls when transitioning from Vite SPA to Next.js 16 and automated verification
TRAP 1
Deprecated middleware.ts File Convention (Line 72 in Log)
Next.js 16 deprecates the root edge middleware convention in favor of route-level proxies, generating compilation warnings during builds.
Remedy: Migrate middleware.ts logic to proxy.ts or configure reverse proxy rules in next.config.ts.
TRAP 2
Unguarded window / localStorage References in Server Components
Vite SPAs execute exclusively in the browser where global window exists. Next.js 16 evaluates components on the server first, causing ReferenceError: window is not defined crashes.
Remedy: Wrap browser APIs in typeof window !== 'undefined' or execute inside useEffect().
TRAP 3
Missing 'use client' Directives on Interactive Hooks
Components declaring useState, useEffect, or event handlers fail to build in Next.js App Router if they omit the client directive.
Remedy: Place 'use client'; at the exact first line of stateful component files.
TRAP 4
Lingering react-router-dom Primitives (useNavigate, <Link to>)
Importing react-router-dom inside Next.js creates bundle bloat and routing collisions with Next's file-based router.
Remedy: Replace with next/navigation (useRouter, usePathname) and next/link (<Link href>).
TRAP 5
Netlify Build Output & OpenNext Plugin Mismatches
Deploying Next.js 16 to Netlify without the latest @netlify/plugin-nextjs v5+ can lead to 404s on dynamic SSR routes.
Remedy: Declare [[plugins]] package = "@netlify/plugin-nextjs" in netlify.toml.
