Investigation Brief

On Next.js 16 with Cache Components, avoid older segment-config advice. The right question is whether the route can keep a static shell while dynamic data moves behind explicit cached or runtime boundaries.

Evidence To Check

Check cacheComponents, use cache, cacheLife, request-time APIs, Suspense boundaries, and scanner evidence such as force-dynamic or headers-in-page.

Do Not Recommend When

Do not suggest dynamic, revalidate, or fetchCache as the primary fix when Cache Components is enabled. Do not cache request-personalized content.

Verification

Name the Next.js version, Cache Components state, dynamic trigger, and the exact boundary or directive that can change.
