Problem: Search modal hangs on loading in production deployment,
but works fine locally.
Root cause: The Pagefind route handler was reading files from
.next/pagefind, which is not reliably accessible in production
deployments. The build script copies Pagefind files to
public/_pagefind for deployment, but the route wasn't using them.
Solution: Changed the file path in app/pagefind/[...path]/route.ts
from .next/pagefind to public/_pagefind. Files in the public
directory are always accessible and properly deployed.
This ensures search works consistently across both development
and production environments.
