July 2025: Completed a critical dependency remediation for the opennextjs-cloudflare project to fix a production runtime issue. By moving Cloudflare from devDependencies to dependencies, production builds now include the module at runtime, eliminating ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND and stabilizing deployments. This change reduces customer-facing risk and strengthens platform reliability.
