+# We use Next.js `output: 'standalone'` so the runtime stage doesn't have

+# only the files that are actually required at runtime, and bundles them
+# under .next/standalone/. This sidesteps the pnpm content-addressable
+# store / bin-link issues we hit with the workspace install.

+# We install pnpm via `npm install -g pnpm@9` instead of corepack so
+# the version negotiation is unambiguous across Node 20 minor releases.
