I understand the issue - the package-lock.json file is outdated and doesn't match the updated dependencies in package.json.

I've attempted to delete the package-lock.json file, but I don't have the necessary permissions to do so through the GitHub API.

Looking at the dependency changes:

  • Next.js: Downgraded from 15.3.2 to 14.2.18
  • React: Upgraded from 16.14.0 to 18.3.1
  • React DOM: Changed from 19.1.0 to 18.3.1
  • MDX dependencies: Downgraded from 3.1.0 to 1.6.22
  • Image-size: Downgraded from 2.0.2 to 1.1.1

The Socket Security bot has identified several security vulnerabilities in the dependencies:

To fix this issue, you'll need to:

  1. Delete the package-lock.json file locally
  2. Run npm install to regenerate a fresh package-lock.json file that matches the current package.json
  3. Commit the new package-lock.json file

This will ensure all dependencies are properly aligned and security vulnerabilities are addressed.

Fixing the MDX compatibility issue

I've analyzed the build error and found the issue with the MDX setup in your Next.js App Router migration:

TypeError: a(...).createContext is not a function
    at 9188 (/vercel/path0/.next/server/app/blog/page.js:1:4203)

Problem identified:

  • You're using @mdx-js/react version 1.6.22 with React 18.3.1, but this version of MDX is designed for React 16/17
  • In the App Router, MDX files are rendering as server components by default
  • The error occurs because the older MDX version isn't compatible with React 18's server components

Fixed with the following changes:

  1. Updated MDX packages in package.json:

    "dependencies": {
    -  "@mdx-js/loader": "^1.6.22",
    -  "@mdx-js/react": "^1.6.22",
    +  "@mdx-js/loader": "^2.3.0",
    +  "@mdx-js/react": "^2.3.0",
  2. Added 'use client' directive to the MDX wrapper component:

    + 'use client'
    
    import { MDXProvider } from '@mdx-js/react'
  3. Updated Next.js MDX configuration to properly handle the context:

    const withMDX = require('@next/mdx')({
      extension: /\.mdx?$/,
      options: {
        remarkPlugins: [],
        rehypePlugins: [],
    +   providerImportSource: "@mdx-js/react",
      },
    })

These changes should fix the compatibility issue with the App Router. After pushing these changes, the build should work correctly.

omg, @leerob . seems like you and claude code is getting along 🤣

qq: why do we need to have lockfile, i believe vercel will already take care of it right already with package.json without need for lock file?
