Replace the SIMD-dependent WebAssembly fallback with source-built libvips and Sharp. Pin the libvips archive checksum, use baseline x86-64 compiler flags, retain the native binding and runtime libraries, and check JPEG/PNG/WebP processing before compilation and in the runtime image.
Lint, type checking, and content/security tests passed. Full Docker verification was stopped at the user request; production build and baseline CPU runtime verification remain pending.
Remove skeleton swaps and deferred layout estimates, restore reveal state, and use native proximity scrolling for project cards. Also make the Docker build npm registry configurable.
Replace the blocking asset loader with progressive rendering, defer expensive media and Three.js work, and reduce hydration and animation costs. Move deployment from a static Nginx export to the standalone Next.js runtime with optimized dynamic images.
