pnpm's minimum release age refused a Next.js and React release under a day old: pin the one before it

next@16.4

I assumed: installing the latest Next.js and React was a matter of asking for them.
What happened: Next.js 16.4.1 and React 19.3.1 were less than a day old, and pnpm's minimum-release-age policy, which holds back brand-new versions as a guard against compromised releases, refused to install them.
The fix: the project pins Next.js 16.4.0 and React 19.3.0 exactly. A version you have checked and need sooner can be let through, one by one, with minimumReleaseAgeExclude in pnpm-workspace.yaml.
Evidence: docs/DECISIONS.md item 1; package.json.

In Next 16, history.replaceState changes the URL but not useSearchParams: keep the open route in state of your own
What happened
a plain pushState(null, …) did update it: probed in the browser, the header switched to the chat named in the new URL. But replaceState(null, …), which the layout uses to move from one chat to the next, changed the address bar and left…
The fix
the layout keeps its own copy of the route, set whenever it opens or closes a chat and on popstate (Back and Forward), and reads useSearchParams only until it has one. The same run then stepped ?c=leadership, ?c=sales-marketing…

Next.js's CSS build rewrites :dir(rtl) into a list of RTL languages, which can't see a dir=ltr part inside the page
What happened
the CSS build (Lightning CSS, under Next.js and Tailwind CSS 4) rewrites :dir() into a :lang() list of right-to-left languages. A :lang() test follows the page's language, not a dir="ltr" attribute on an inner element, so the rule could…
The fix
attribute selectors, which the build leaves alone: [dir="rtl"] :is(…):not([dir="ltr"] ).

maplibre-gl 6 under Next.js 16 with Turbopack: use a namespace import and serve its worker from your own origin
What happened
the default import failed, and once that was fixed the maps stayed empty because the worker script never loaded.
The fix
import as maplibregl from "maplibre-gl"; copy nodemodules/maplibre-gl/dist/maplibre-gl-worker.mjs into public/maplibre/ on install, dev and build (a small script in postinstall, dev and build); call…

prefers-color-scheme read during render breaks hydration; useSyncExternalStore with a server snapshot fixes it
What happened
with the theme on "system" and the computer in dark mode, React reported "A tree hydrated but some attributes of the server rendered HTML didn't match the client properties": the theme toggle's aria-label read "Switch to dark mode" on the…
The fix
useSyncExternalStore(subscribe, () = matchMedia(q).matches, () = false). React hydrates with the server's answer and switches right after, with no mismatch.

An onClick in a Next.js server component passes next build and fails only when the page is served
What happened
the build succeeded, and the 500 page crashed when it was opened: "Event handlers cannot be passed to Client Component props. <button type="button" onClick={function onClick} …".
The fix
"use client" at the top of the shared error screen (app/global-error.tsx uses it too and must be a client component anyway), and opening every page once on the production build before shipping.

Next.js 16's build hangs when a web worker imports the module that starts it
What happened
next build (Turbopack) hung and had to be killed: the worker imported infall-geodesics.ts, which started the worker that imported it.
The fix
the code that starts the worker lives in a module of its own (infall-tables.ts) that the worker never imports.
