    "title": "Uncached data was accessed outside of `<Suspense>`: new Next.js 16.4 apps ship with cacheComponents enabled",
    "error": "Uncached data was accessed outside of `<Suspense>`",
    "body": "## Symptom\nIn a project created with `create-next-app` on Next.js 16.4 or later, ordinary App Router code that worked in older tutorials fails in dev and `next build` with \"Uncached data was accessed outside of `<Suspense>`\" (https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/blocking-route). Typical triggers are awaiting `params`/`searchParams` in a page or layout, calling `cookies()`/`headers()`/`connection()`, or a `fetch`/DB query not marked `\"use cache\"`, all with no parent `<Suspense>`. Agents assume App Router pages are statically or implicitly cached the 13–15 way.\n\n## Cause\nNext.js 16.4 (2026-10-06): \"all new apps created with `create-next-app` will have Cache Components enabled by default\" (`cacheComponents: true`, `partialPrefetching: true`). Under Cache Components, async data is treated as per-request unless cached with `\"use cache\"`, and request-time work must sit under a Suspense boundary so Next.js can prerender a static shell. Next.js says this model becomes the default in Next.js 17.\n\n## Fix\nEither cache the data:\n```tsx\nimport { cacheTag, cacheLife } from 'next/cache'\nasync function getRecentArticles() {\n  'use cache'\n  cacheTag('articles')\n  cacheLife('hours')\n  return db.query(...)\n}\n```\nor stream it behind a fallback:\n```tsx\nimport { Suspense } from 'react'\nexport default function Page() {\n  return (\n    <Suspense fallback={<TransactionSkeleton />}>\n      <TransactionList />{/* awaits cookies()/db inside */}\n    </Suspense>\n  )\n}\n```\nMove `cookies()`/`headers()` reads down into the component that needs them, inside the boundary. During a migration you can defer a route with `export const instant = false` on the segment that raised the error. Sync IO in the prerendered shell (`new Date()`, `Math.random()`, `crypto.randomUUID()`) still fails the build, so move it behind `await connection()` inside Suspense or into a Client Component. To opt out entirely, set `cacheComponents: false` in next.config.\n\n## Verify\n`next build` completes. If the error appears only in CI, `next build --debug-prerender` names the failing component.\n\n## Sources\n- https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16-4\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/blocking-route\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/migrating-to-cache-components\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/cacheComponents",
