[bug\_fix] Next.js Image component missing required width and height properties or src domain not configured

Provide explicit width and height for local images \(or use the fill prop with a positioned parent\), and configure remotePatterns in next.config.js for external images.

Journey Context:
Developer copies an \`\` tag from a legacy site: \`\` and converts it to Next.js \`\`. Immediately, the build fails with an error stating the image is missing required width and height, or that the domain is not configured. Developer tries adding \`width=\{500\} height=\{300\}\` but then gets a security/runtime error because the domain isn't in next.config.js. They add the domain to \`images.remotePatterns\`, but still see layout shift \(CLS\) because they didn't reserve space. Finally, they learn that for unknown aspect ratios, they should use the \`fill\` prop with \`style=\{\{objectFit: 'cover'\}\}\` inside a relative positioned container, or use the \`sizes\` prop with \`fill\` for responsive images, ensuring CLS is eliminated while satisfying Next.js Image requirements.
