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

Add the external image hostname to the \`images.remotePatterns\` configuration in \`next.config.js\`. Specify the protocol and hostname. Alternatively, if you don't need optimization for that image, use the \`unoptimized\` prop on the Image component, or download the image to the local \`/public\` folder.

Journey Context:
Developer builds a blog using Next.js and a headless CMS \(e.g., Sanity\). The CMS serves images from \`cdn.sanity.io\`. The developer uses the \`\` component from \`next/image\` to display these images with automatic optimization. In development, everything appears fine \(often Next.js warns but doesn't hard fail in dev\). However, upon running \`next build\` for production, the build fails with an error: 'Invalid src prop ... hostname is not configured under images.remotePatterns'. Developer realizes that Next.js Image component requires explicit whitelisting of external domains for security and to prevent abuse of the image optimization API. They navigate to \`next.config.js\` and add the configuration: \`images: \{ remotePatterns: \[\{ protocol: 'https', hostname: 'cdn.sanity.io' \}\] \}\`. After restarting the dev server and rebuilding, the error is resolved and images are optimized.
