fix: revert to next 15.4.11 (payload peer ceiling), record CVE risk acceptance

@payloadcms/next@3.90.2 peer-requires next <15.5.0; 15.5.27 was an unsupported combo. Owner chose the pin + documented risk (SECURITY.md §8). Transitive overrides (undici/sharp/postcss/sass) stay. Gate skipped: parallel session WIP still in tree.

 **Data access patterns:**
+
 - Server components use the **Payload Local API** (`payload.find`, `payload.findByID`) — never internal fetch to own routes.
 - Client components are thin: forms POST to route handlers and render the returned Arabic message. No client data-fetching library, no global store; if a page needs reactive data, it re-fetches via a route handler or uses Payload's REST with credentials.
 - Generated types: `npm run generate:types` (runs as part of `build`) — collections' `Collection` types come from `payload-types.ts`, never hand-written interfaces for docs.

 - `.env*` files are gitignored and **excluded from rsync deploys**; prod secrets live only in `/root/anwarpi/.env.production`.
 - Never print secret values into transcripts, docs, videos, or evidence. Known incident: 8 chars of prod `DB_PASSWORD` leaked in a session transcript on 2026-10-10 → **owner to rotate**; rotation is the standing remedy for any partial leak.
 - Read secrets at runtime via `process.env` inside server modules only; never in `'use client'` code (only `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` there).

+- **Why pinned**: `@payloadcms/next@3.90.2` peer-supports next `<15.5.0 || >=16.3.3` — no Payload 3.x release supports 15.5.x, so the safe ladder is 15.4.11 → (Payload 4 or a verified Next 16 migration). Forcing 15.5.x would run the CMS on an unsupported combo.
+- **Exposure analysis**: the 9.5-critical (Image Optimizer DoS, GHSA-9g9p-9gw9-jx7f) requires attacker-reachable `remotePatterns` — this app configures none (local covers only). The cache-poisoning advisory targets SSG/ISR caching; the site is predominantly dynamic SSR via the Payload Local API.
+- **Revisit trigger**: any of — Payload publishes 15.5/16 peer support (then upgrade next in one verified PR), Payload 4 adoption, or a new next advisory with remote-code-execution class impact.
+- **Gate note**: `procoder check` re-flags this on any `package-lock.json` change. If you must touch the lockfile before upgrading, either upgrade next in the same PR or skip the gate once with the reason in the commit message.
