Next.js 16.2, TypeScript 6 and stronger browser coverage

Both starter kits received a coordinated core stack and authentication upgrade plus authenticated browser coverage for critical product workflows.

DependenciesSecurityTestingPro PrismaPro Drizzle

This release updates the shared foundation of Pro Prisma and Pro Drizzle while keeping the two kits aligned.

Core stack

  • Updated Next.js to 16.2.10 and TypeScript to 6.0.3.
  • Updated the AI SDK packages used by the chatbot.
  • Refreshed the supporting application dependencies in both kits.

Authentication

  • Updated Better Auth and its supporting packages.
  • Added the database changes required by the new authentication version.
  • Updated onboarding and user account handling for the new APIs.

Existing projects should review and apply the included database migration for their kit before deploying the upgraded authentication stack.

Browser coverage

Authenticated Playwright coverage now exercises sign-in, organization workflows, account settings, two-factor authentication, AI credit enforcement and the admin area. The test setup includes deterministic seed data so these flows can be checked locally and in CI.

This release was validated in both starter kits with type checking, linting, unit tests, production builds and browser tests.
