Code Review — PR #36490 (Next.js experiments example)

• Gather context
• Review changed files
• Post review feedback

This PR is scoped to the examples/ Next.js app rewrite plus starter version bumps (20260630) across docker-compose/README files. No Java/backend code changed despite the labels, so the backend-convention checks don't apply here. Review focuses on the new example code.

New Issues

• 🟡 Medium: examples/nextjs-experiments/src/views/Page.tsx:25-30 — withExperiments(DotCMSLayoutBody, …) is called inside the component body, so it produces a new component reference on every render. React treats a changed component type at the same position as a full unmount/remount of the subtree, which can remount the layout body (state loss, flicker, and potentially re-firing experiment assignment) on each render. Wrap it in useMemo keyed on [replace] (and gate on experimentsConfig.apiKey) so the wrapped component is stable across renders. Fix this →

• 🟡 Medium: examples/nextjs-experiments/.env.local.example:5 — NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 ships in the example env template. This globally disables TLS certificate verification for the Node process. Even in an example, this teaches an insecure default and can silently mask cert misconfiguration. Recommend removing it or gating it behind a clearly-commented "local self-signed only" note.

• 🟡 Medium: examples/nextjs-experiments/src/app/blog/post/[[...slug]]/page.tsx:19,41 — const path = slug?.[0] only uses the first path segment. For a catch-all route ([[...slug]]), a nested post URL like /blog/post/2024/my-post collapses to fetching /blog/post/2024, dropping the rest. If nested post slugs are ever valid, use slug?.join("/") like getPath does in the main [[...slug]]/page.tsx. (Assumption: post slugs may be multi-segment. What to verify: whether dotCMS post URLs are always single-segment in the demo starter.)

Notes (non-blocking)

• getDotCMSPage (src/utils/getDotCMSPage.ts:34) swallows all errors into { error } — that's intentional and handled by the isPageError guards, so it's fine. Just confirm real network failures still surface a usable status via getErrorStatus (it returns undefined when the SDK error has no status field, which then renders a generic error page — acceptable for an example).

Overall this is clean example/demo code. The withExperiments remount issue is the only one I'd recommend addressing before merge since it affects the headline feature (experiments) this example is meant to showcase.
