Report #4168

[bug\_fix] Invalid src prop ... hostname is not configured under images in your \`next.config.js\`

Add the hostname to the \`images.remotePatterns\` configuration in \`next.config.js\` \(or \`next.config.mjs\`\), specifying protocol, hostname, and optionally port/pathname.

Journey Context:
Developer switches from \`\` to Next.js \`\` component for performance. Uses an external CDN URL \(e.g., \`https://cdn.example.com/image.jpg\`\). On \`next dev\` or \`next build\`, the app throws the error and refuses to show the image. Developer checks the Image component import and the src URL format. Realizes Next.js requires explicit allowlisting of external domains for security and to enable image optimization at build/request time. Looks up \`next.config.js\` documentation. Initially tries the old \`images: \{ domains: \['cdn.example.com'\] \}\` syntax which works in older versions, but discovers the newer recommended \`remotePatterns\` syntax allows specifying protocols and wildcards for better security. Adding the \`remotePatterns\` entry with \`protocol: 'https'\`, \`hostname: 'cdn.example.com'\`, and restarting the dev server resolves the error.
