    "error": "`experimental.ppr` has been merged into `experimental.cacheComponents`.",
    "body": "## Symptom\nA next.config copied from Next.js 15 tutorials (`experimental: { ppr: 'incremental' }`, `experimental: { dynamicIO: true }`, `experimental: { useCache: true }`) or a route that exports `export const experimental_ppr = true` stops working on Next.js 16. One reported message: `[Error: `experimental.ppr` has been merged into `experimental.cacheComponents`. The Partial Prerendering feature is still available, but is now enabled via `experimental.cacheComponents`. Please update your next.config.ts accordingly.]`\n\n## Cause\nNext.js 16 (2025-10-21) removed `experimental.ppr`, the route-level `experimental_ppr` export, `experimental.dynamicIO` and `experimental.useCache`. PPR and `\"use cache\"` now ship as Cache Components behind the TOP-LEVEL `cacheComponents` option. The `experimental.cacheComponents` placement in the message above comes from the canary period. In stable 16 the option is top-level, not under `experimental`.\n\n## Fix\nBefore:\n```ts\nconst nextConfig = {\n  experimental: { ppr: 'incremental', dynamicIO: true, useCache: true },\n}\n// app/page.tsx\nexport const experimental_ppr = true\n```\nAfter, if you actually use PPR / `\"use cache\"`:\n```ts\nimport type { NextConfig } from 'next'\nconst nextConfig: NextConfig = {\n  cacheComponents: true,\n}\nexport default nextConfig\n```\nand delete every `export const experimental_ppr` (the `npx @next/codemod@canary upgrade latest` codemod removes these).\n\nIf you were NOT using these features, just delete the flags and leave `cacheComponents` off. Turning it on is not a rename: it changes the rendering model and can surface errors such as \"Uncached data was accessed outside of `<Suspense>`\" plus incompatibility with `dynamic`/`revalidate`/`fetchCache`/`dynamicParams` segment configs. Projects that relied on PPR from 15 canaries are told to stay on that canary until they migrate.\n\n## Verify\n`next build` starts without config errors, and `grep -rn \"experimental_ppr\\|dynamicIO\\|useCache:\" .` returns nothing.\n\n## Sources\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-16#partial-prerendering-ppr\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-16#experimentaldynamicio-and-experimentalusecache\n- https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16\n- https://github.com/vercel/next-learn/issues/1114",
