Instructions
Detect current version: Read package.json to identify the current Next.js version and related dependencies (React, React DOM, etc.)
Fetch the latest upgrade guide: Use WebFetch to get the official upgrade documentation:
Determine upgrade path: Based on current version, identify which migration steps apply. For major version jumps, upgrade incrementally (e.g., 13 → 14 → 15).
