Adds probeNextjsArchitecture(), reported on scan results as `nextjs` and surfaced in both the CLI summary and the chunked-mode prompt context. Returns null for non-Next.js repos, so the scan stays metadata-only everywhere else — this is its one content-reading step. Detects App Router vs Pages Router (or both, mid-migration), counts routes, API routes and dynamic segments, lists route groups, classifies client vs server components via the 'use client' directive, and reports middleware. Works for root-level and src/ layouts. The probe lives in src/lib/frameworks/nextjs.js rather than scanner.js as the issue suggested: that module already owns the directory candidates, code extensions and walkers this needs. Routing rules honoured: - private folders (_name) opt out of routing but still count as components - _app/_document/_error are plumbing only at the Pages Router root - parallel route slots (@modal) and route groups never reach the URL, so app routes are deduped by URL path - dynamic segments are named by directory in App Router and by filename in Pages Router Known imprecision: intercepting routes ((.)photo) count separately from the page they intercept. Resolving (..) levels needs a real segment-tree walk, which is disproportionate for the pattern's rarity. Closes aspenkit#8

Next.js allows multiple root layouts, one per route group, with no layout directly under `app/`. hasAppLayout only checked the app root, so those projects were not recognised as App Router at all and lost the whole architecture probe. Search route-group directories recursively, capped at four levels, keeping the existing filesystem guards.

Problem
aspens scancould tell you a repo uses Next.js and nothing else. Two Next.js projects can be built in completely different ways: App Router with server components, or Pages Router with apages/apitree. A generated skill had no way to tell them apart, so it could not say "App Router, 12 routes, 3 client components".Fix
New probe.
src/lib/frameworks/nextjs.jsexportsprobeNextjsArchitecture(repoPath, frameworks), called fromscanRepo()and exposed asscanResult.nextjs.nullwhen Next.js is not among the detected frameworks, so nothing changes for other repos.'use client'directive prologue.The probe lives beside the existing framework detectors rather than in
scanner.jsas the issue suggested. That module already owns the directory candidates, code extensions, and walker this needed.What it reports.
app,pages, orbothfor a repo mid-migration.'use client'directive.Root-level and
src/layouts both work.Routing rules honoured.
_name) opt out of routing and still count as components._app,_document, and_errorare plumbing at the Pages Router root only. A page of the same name deeper in the tree is a real route.@modal) and route groups ((shop)) never reach the URL, so App Router files are deduped by the URL they serve.app/@modal/photo/page.tsxandapp/photo/page.tsxare one route.dist,build,out,coverage,public) are skipped at a source root only. Deeper down they are ordinary URL segments, soapp/build/page.tsxcounts as a route.Known imprecision: intercepting routes (
(.)photo) count separately from the page they intercept. Resolving(..)levels needs a real segment-tree walk, which is disproportionate for how rarely the pattern appears.Surfacing.
