Problem

Vercel builds were failing due to Next.js cache corruption:

Type error: Cannot find name 'logWarn'

Even though the import exists in logger-server.ts, stale .next cache was causing TypeScript to fail.

Solution

This PR forces Vercel to rebuild with a fresh cache by adding a cache-bust file.

Local Verification

rm -rf .next && bun run build works perfectly in 42 seconds

Expected Result

This should trigger a fresh Vercel build that completes in ~2-3 minutes.


Will merge immediately to trigger rebuild.

Build was failing due to Next.js cache corruption.
This commit forces Vercel to rebuild with fresh cache.

Issue: TypeScript errors on valid imports (logWarn)
Root cause: Stale .next cache
Local fix: rm -rf .next && bun run build (works in 42s)
Vercel fix: This commit triggers fresh build

Expected result: Build should complete in ~2-3 minutes

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR attempts to fix Vercel build failures caused by Next.js cache corruption by adding a cache-bust documentation file. The logWarn import error was caused by stale .next cache even though the code exists.

Key Issue Found:

  • Simply committing a new file does not invalidate Vercel's .next build cache. Vercel caches the .next/ directory between deployments based on source code changes, not the addition of unrelated documentation files.

More Effective Solutions:

  • Set VERCEL_FORCE_NO_BUILD_CACHE=1 environment variable (temporary)
  • Modify next.config.js with configuration changes
  • Clear cache manually via Vercel Dashboard → Settings → Caching
  • Touch/modify an actual build config file that Vercel watches

Confidence Score: 2/5

  • This PR is safe to merge but unlikely to solve the build cache issue
  • The approach of adding a documentation file will not invalidate Vercel's .next build cache. Vercel caches the build output directory between deployments, and adding unrelated files doesn't trigger cache invalidation. The build will likely fail again with the same logWarn error. A score of 2/5 reflects that while this won't break anything (safe), it won't fix the problem either (ineffective).
  • The .vercel-cache-bust file needs to be replaced with an actual cache-invalidation strategy (environment variable, config change, or manual dashboard action)

logic: Simply adding a new file may not invalidate Vercel's .next build cache. Vercel caches the .next/ directory between builds, and adding unrelated files typically doesn't trigger cache invalidation.

Consider these more reliable approaches:

  1. Add VERCEL_FORCE_NO_BUILD_CACHE=1 environment variable in Vercel dashboard (temporary)
  2. Modify next.config.js with a build ID or cache invalidation
  3. Use Vercel CLI: vercel build --force
  4. Clear cache via Vercel dashboard: Settings → Caching → Clear Build Cache

Score: 4/5 - High confidence this won't work as intended. The build will run, but likely reuse the corrupted .next cache.
