Patch Next.js to 16.3.8 or 15.5.27

1 high, 5 medium, 1 low. CVE-2026-94483 is the high one, an SSRF in Image Optimization. Nine were planned; one critical and one high fix were postponed.

Separate metric: P75 time to a typeable page, 3.1s to 0.55s. One fix: code blocks copied into a one-byte string before syntax highlighting took the first TypeScript block from 1.0s to 0.35s.
