    "title": "`params` should be awaited before using its properties: sync params/searchParams/cookies() fully removed in Next.js 16",
    "error": "`params` should be awaited before using its properties.",
    "body": "## Symptom\nNext.js 15 logged in dev: `Route \"/[lang]/blog/[slug]\" used `params.lang`. `params` should be awaited before using its properties. Learn more: https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/sync-dynamic-apis`. In Next.js 16 the sync compatibility layer is gone. `params.slug` is `undefined` (it is a Promise), TypeScript rejects the types, and `cookies().get(...)` / `headers().get(...)` no longer work without `await`.\n\n## Cause\nNext.js 15 made the request APIs async and kept a temporary sync shim that only warned. Next.js 16 (2025-10-21) removed the shim, so these must be accessed asynchronously:\n- `cookies()`, `headers()`, `draftMode()` from `next/headers`\n- `params` in layout/page/route/default and in opengraph-image/twitter-image/icon/apple-icon\n- `searchParams` in page\nThe same applies to enumerating them (`{...params}`, `Object.keys(params)`, `for (const c of cookies())`).\n\n## Fix\nRun the codemod. The `upgrade` codemod does NOT run it for you:\n```bash\nnpx @next/codemod@canary next-async-request-api .\n```\nBefore:\n```tsx\nexport default function Page({ params, searchParams }) {\n  const token = cookies().get('token')\n  return <h1>{params.slug}</h1>\n}\n```\nAfter (Server Component):\n```tsx\nimport { cookies } from 'next/headers'\nexport default async function Page(props: PageProps<'/blog/[slug]'>) {\n  const { slug } = await props.params\n  const query = await props.searchParams\n  const token = (await cookies()).get('token')\n  return <h1>{slug}</h1>\n}\n```\nClient Components cannot be async, so use `React.use(params)`. Run `npx next typegen` (15.5+) to get the global `PageProps`, `LayoutProps` and `RouteContext` helpers. Do not destructure `params` in the function signature. Look for `@next-codemod-error` comments the codemod left behind, because they fail dev and build until you resolve them.\n\n## Verify\n`next build` passes type checking, and `grep -rn \"@next-codemod-error\\|UnsafeUnwrapped\" app/` returns nothing.\n\n## Sources\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/app/guides/upgrading/version-16#async-request-apis-breaking-change\n- https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/sync-dynamic-apis\n- https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/74406\n- https://nextjs.org/blog/next-16",
