[bug\_fix] Next.js Image component missing required width and height properties

Provide explicit intrinsic width and height, or use fill with a sized parent container and configure remotePatterns for external images.

Journey Context:
After switching from a plain \`\` to Next.js \`\`, the build complained \`Image with src '/hero.jpg' is missing required 'width' and 'height' properties\`. The developer tried adding only \`width\` or using \`layout='responsive'\` from an old example, but got more errors. The root cause is that Next.js needs to know the image's aspect ratio at build time to reserve layout space and prevent Cumulative Layout Shift; without explicit dimensions the browser cannot allocate the correct box before the image downloads. The fix is to provide the exact intrinsic \`width\` and \`height\` in pixels when they are known, or set \`fill\` and let the parent container define the size using CSS \(\`position: relative; width: ...; height: ...\`\). For remote images, also configure \`images.remotePatterns\` in \`next.config.js\`. This reserves space in the initial render and lets Next.js optimize sizes.
