Merge pull request 'Revert to next 15.4.11 (payload peer ceiling) + record CVE risk acceptance' (#6) from fix/next-pin-cve-acceptance into main

@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. Transitive CVE fixes already applied: undici 8.11.2, sharp 0.35.5, postcss 8.5.30, sass 1.105.1.
