Summary

Fix Next.js 16 compatibility by handling string nextConfig parameters to prevent TypeError during webpack property assignment.

Changes

  • Add type check to convert string nextConfig to empty object in compiler's next() function
  • Add comprehensive test for Next.js 16 string nextConfig compatibility scenario
  • Prevent "Cannot create property 'webpack' on string 'phase-production-build'" error

Testing

Business logic tests added:

  • Test validates string nextConfig ('phase-production-build') gets converted to object without throwing TypeError
  • Test ensures webpack function is properly assigned to converted config object
  • All tests pass locally

Visuals

Required for UI/UX changes:

  • Before/after screenshots attached
  • Video demo for interactions (< 30s)

Checklist

  • Changeset added (if version bump needed)
  • Tests cover business logic (not just happy path)
  • No breaking changes (or documented below)

Closes #1651
