What is the documentation issue?

Docs show browserDebugInfoInTerminal as still experimental in NextJS 16.1.6 (it is not): https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/browserDebugInfoInTerminal <img width="3024" height="1716" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd40ee68-ab91-4a5a-879a-ef2e0be3e50c" />

Is there any context that might help us understand?

TL;DR

Update the documentation to reflect that browserDebugInfoInTerminal is no longer experimental in NextJS 16.1.6.

Guidance

  • Verify the current documentation status of browserDebugInfoInTerminal to confirm it's still marked as experimental.
  • Check the NextJS version to ensure it's 16.1.6 or later, as the issue seems specific to this version.
  • Update the documentation at https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/config/next-config-js/browserDebugInfoInTerminal to remove the experimental label.
  • Test the configuration with browserDebugInfoInTerminal enabled to ensure it works as expected without any type errors.

Example

No code snippet is necessary for this issue, as it's a documentation update.

Notes

This fix assumes that the only issue is the outdated documentation. If there are other problems, additional steps may be required.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the documentation to reflect the correct status of browserDebugInfoInTerminal, as the issue is specific to the documentation being outdated.
