# Frontend Containerization Instructions

## Scope
- Applies to frontend Docker/build/runtime concerns for Next.js.

## Rules
- Keep `.next` as a generated artifact; never rely on stale local cache in source control.
- If dev manifest/cache issues appear, clear `.next` and restart dev server.
- Keep environment-driven API base URL behavior explicit and documented.
- Ensure Docker/compose settings match the expected runtime port and host bindings.

## Build Health
- Distinguish pre-existing lint/type issues from feature-specific regressions in reports.
- Do not weaken lint/type checks just to pass builds.
