The home page caught every fetch failure and rendered its empty state,
so a backend outage looked like a site with no schools in it. School
pages turned any error into notFound(), which told visitors — and
crawlers — that a real school had ceased to exist. Place fetches did the
same by returning [] and null. Failures now reach a retryable error
boundary; only a genuine 404 still calls notFound().
"Load more" and the map fetch resolved against whatever state existed
when they returned, so results from an abandoned search appended
themselves to the new ones. Each fetch now carries an AbortController
and checks that its search scope is still current before touching state.
The map only records its cache key on success, so a failed load retries
instead of pinning the stale marker set.
Jest ignored .next/, whose build output otherwise shadowed real suites.

Payload's admin panel ships its own root layout rendering html/body.
Next allows multiple root layouts only when no app/layout.tsx exists, so
the site's routes move into their own group. Route groups are invisible
to routing: every public URL is unchanged, verified against the build's
route table.
The metadata file conventions deliberately stay at the app/ root. Moving
them into the group renamed /icon.png to /icon-4usi79.png (likewise
apple-icon and opengraph-image) and dropped /robots.txt altogether,
which would have broken the /icon.png cache-control rule, the
outputFileTracingIncludes entry for the share card, and robots.txt.
darkThemeSafety reads app/globals.css off disk rather than importing it,
so it needed its own path fix — a grep for import specifiers misses it,
and it fails as an unrunnable suite rather than a failed assertion.
