Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Next.js contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Next.js
Current-contract area: Next.js 15 fetch no longer cached by default
Likely root cause: Server component repeatedly hits a third-party API and rate limits.
Repair direction: Verifier checks behavior across multiple requests/build modes, not merely compilation. Check request count, response freshness, and render behavior over multiple calls.

Symptom

Server component repeatedly hits a third-party API and rate limits.

Why This Happens

Local code often type-checks under both old and new framework semantics; the failure depends on the installed framework version and current runtime defaults.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
