 ### `@spacefast/next-adapter`
 
-Wired for you. When `sf publish` runs `next build`, it points Next at the bundled adapter through `NEXT_ADAPTER_PATH`, so there is nothing to add to `next.config`. The adapter opts the build into immutable static assets and writes down what Next produced for the classifier to read.

Other releases from 14.2 through 16.4 build only with `output: "export"`. See the [Next.js recipe](/recipes/next) for the full table.

 ## The gotcha
 
-Automatic Next builds require **Next 16.2 or newer**. 16.2 is the version where Next gained the adapter hook the Spacefast adapter runs on, and the facts that adapter records are what turn the build into a serving plan. On anything older the CLI refuses before it builds:
+Both refusals fail with this code:
 
 ```text
 next_version_unsupported
 ```
 
-That is exit code 2. There is no fallback below the floor, because a publish classified from guessed facts is worse than a refused one.
+A version outside the table stops before anything builds. A server-rendered config on an export-only version runs `next build` first, then stops once the CLI sees the output is not an export. Both exit with code 2. There is no guessing fallback, because a publish classified from guessed facts is worse than a refused one.
 
-On an older Next, do the export yourself and upload it:
+On an export-only version, set `output: "export"` and let `sf publish` build it. On an unsupported version, do the export yourself and upload it:

-One related failure mode. If a custom build command runs `next build` in a way that loses the environment the CLI set, the adapter never runs. The publish then stops with `build_failed`, saying `.spacefast/next-build.json` was not written. Let the CLI invoke the build, or pass its environment through your wrapper.
