[bug\_fix] Next.js Image component missing required width and height or fill prop

Provide explicit width and height \(in pixels\) for local images or remote images where dimensions are known. For remote images, also configure next.config.js domains/remotePatterns. For responsive images with unknown aspect ratio or fill container mode, use the fill prop and ensure the parent element has position: relative, width, and height.

Journey Context:
Developer imports Image from 'next/image' and uses . Immediately gets error: 'Image is missing required "width" and "height" properties'. Developer checks docs and realizes Next.js Image requires dimensions to prevent Cumulative Layout Shift \(CLS\). For local images, they can import the image: import hero from '/public/hero.jpg' and use which automatically provides width/height. For remote images \(CMS\), they must manually provide width=\{800\} height=\{600\}. Then they get error about hostname not being configured in next.config.js. After adding the domain, they try to create a hero banner that fills the container width while maintaining aspect ratio. Setting width/100% doesn't work. They switch to fill prop: . Realizes parent must have relative positioning and defined height.
