Code Review

This pull request, automatically generated by Snyk, upgrades the next package from version 10.2.3 to 12.0.8 to resolve two critical security vulnerabilities. My review focuses on the potential impact of this major version upgrade. While the security fix is necessary, the jump from Next.js v10 to v12 introduces significant breaking changes that could affect application stability, as noted by Snyk itself. I've added a comment highlighting the need for thorough testing and review of the official migration guides before merging.

[gemini-code-assist]

This is a major version upgrade for next from v10 to v12. As noted in the Snyk metadata for this PR (isBreakingChange:true), such a significant jump introduces breaking changes that could impact the stability and functionality of your application.

To mitigate the risks, I strongly recommend the following actions before merging:

• Review Migration Guides: Carefully read through the official Next.js migration guides to understand the breaking changes and required code modifications.

  • Next.js 11 Upgrade Guide
  • Next.js 12 Upgrade Guide

• Comprehensive Testing: Execute your full test suite (unit, integration, and end-to-end tests) to identify any regressions.

• Manual QA: Perform a thorough manual quality assurance check of the application in a staging environment that mirrors production.

While this upgrade is crucial for security, ensuring the application remains functional is paramount.
