## Statements (checkable)
0. Next.js 16 removes the next lint command: use Biome or ESLint directly; next build no longer runs linting.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. A codemod is available: npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli .  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Replace `next lint` in scripts/CI with `eslint .` (or Biome); run `npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli .`; add an explicit lint step to CI because next build no longer lints.
