+### 8. Next.js 15.4.3 — Vercel platform blocks deploys (vulnerable version)
+
+- **Discovered:** 2026-05-22 during the bootstrap PR CI run. Vercel build completes successfully (~29s) but the deployment exits with status `Error` and `"Vulnerable version of Next.js detected, please update immediately"`.
+- **Files:** `package.json` line 22 (`"next": "^15.4.2"` → locked at `15.4.3`), `package-lock.json`.
+- **Impact:** **Vercel will not deploy any branch — including `main` — until Next.js is bumped.** Preview URLs are unavailable, which means `preview-smoke.yml` and `visual-diff.yml` can't fire. The last successful deploy on `main` was 2025-08-01; production may already be running an outdated build.
+- **CVE context:** Next.js shipped a middleware auth-bypass advisory (CVE-2025-29927) patched in 15.2.3, plus subsequent advisories. The exact CVE Vercel is flagging on 15.4.3 needs confirmation via `npm audit` and the Next.js security advisory page.
+- **Fix:** Bump `next` to the latest secure 15.x (`npm install next@^15.5` and run smoke tests) OR the latest 16.x (`next@^16.2.6` — major bump; review breaking changes in [Next.js 16 release notes](https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16)).
+- **Owns:** `role-architect` (pick target version + assess breaking changes) → `role-implementer` (bump + verify dev/build/start + smoke).
+- **Convoy:** `bump-next-js` — runs before `fix-auth-bypass` lands, OR in parallel as a separate PR. **Without this convoy, every L3 gate that depends on a Vercel preview is non-functional.**

 - **Fix:** Adopt `node-pg-migrate` (lightweight, matches the existing pattern best) OR migrate to `drizzle-kit` if the team wants schema-as-code. Backfill a single "initial" migration matching current prod schema. From there, every new column ships as a migration file.

+### 11.5. Codebase has ~100 pre-existing ESLint errors
+
+- **Discovered:** 2026-05-22 during the bootstrap PR. The repo had `"lint": "next lint"` in `package.json` but no `.eslintrc.json` — meaning lint was never run. Bootstrap added the config; lint now surfaces ~100 errors.
+- **Most serious:** `react-hooks/rules-of-hooks` violations (hooks called conditionally) in several components. These are **real bugs** — React's hook ordering is undefined when hooks are called after early returns. They likely manifest as state-loss / stale-closure bugs in edge cases.
+- **Less serious:** `react/no-unescaped-entities` (cosmetic), `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` (warnings about missing useEffect deps), `@next/next/no-img-element` (cosmetic).
+- **Impact:** The L3 CI lint job is currently `continue-on-error: true` (see `.github/workflows/ci.yml`) so it doesn't block PRs. Lint output is visible in logs but PRs merge regardless of lint state until this is cleaned up.
+- **Fix:** Triage each error. The rules-of-hooks ones need genuine code restructuring (move hooks before any early returns). The unescaped-entities are mechanical (`'` → `'`). After cleanup, remove `continue-on-error: true`.
+- **Convoy:** `fix-lint-baseline` — run after `fix-auth-bypass` and `drop-public-setup`. Multitask-safe: split into briefs by file group.
+- **Owns:** `role-architect` (group strategy) → `role-implementer` (per-group fan-out).
