**BREAKING CHANGE:**
This bumps the **minimum required Next.js** version from 15.0.0 to
15.2.3. This update is necessary due to a critical security
vulnerability found in earlier Next.js versions, which requires an
exception to our standard semantic versioning process.
Additionally, this bumps all templates to the latest Next.js and Payload
versions.
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10813
In pnpm 10 (which isn't "latest" yet), according to the [list of
breaking changes](https://github.com/orgs/pnpm/discussions/8945):
> Lifecycle scripts of dependencies are not executed during installation
by default! This is a breaking change aimed at increasing security. In
order to allow lifecycle scripts of specific dependencies, they should
be listed in the pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies field of package.json
The sharp package uses a script to install native binaries and so our
templates don't run out of the box with pnpm 10.
Bumps the following dependencies:
- next
- typescript
- http-status
- nodemailer
- Payload & next versions in all templates
- Monorepo only: playwright and dotenv
Removes unused dependencies:
- ts-jest
- jest-environment-jsdom
- resend (we don't use their sdk, we only use their rest API)
### What?
Uses `cross-env` for the `dev:payload` script in the plugin template.
### Why?
To achieve compatibility with Windows.
### How?
Adds `cross-env` as a dev dependency and modifies the `dev:payload`
script.

### What?
This PR adjusts the `.gitignore` file in the plugin template to prevent
tracking of the nested `.next` folder.
### Why?
The existing rule excludes a top-level `.next` folder. However, in the
plugin template, next generates the folder in `/dev` instead.
### How?
Adjusting `.gitignore` to consider that `.next` may be nested in
different folders.
Notes:
- Initially I made it explicit, after judging the rest of the file I
realized not everyone likes explicit rules so I simplified. Both
`**/.next/` & `.next/` should be functionally equivalent though.
Separates `exports`, `main`, `types` for publish / dev with
`publishConfig` for the plugin template. Previously, you needed a `dist`
folder to run payload bin scripts.
Updates the plugin template and adds it to the monorepo
Includes:
* Integration testing setup
* Adding custom client / server components via a plugin
* The same building setup that we use for our plugins in the monorepo
* `create-payload-app` dynamically configures the project based on the
name:`dev/tsconfig.json`, `src/index.ts`, `dev/payload.config.ts`
For example, from project name: `payload-plugin-cool`
`src/index.ts`:
```ts
export type PayloadPluginCoolConfig = {
/**
* List of collections to add a custom field
*/
collections?: Partial<Record<CollectionSlug, true>>
disabled?: boolean
}
export const payloadPluginCool =
(pluginOptions: PayloadPluginCoolConfig) =>
/// ...
```
`dev/tsconfig.json`:
```json
{
"extends": "../tsconfig.json",
"exclude": [],
"include": [
"**/*.ts",
"**/*.tsx",
"../src/**/*.ts",
"../src/**/*.tsx",
"next.config.mjs",
".next/types/**/*.ts"
],
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": "./",
"paths": {
"@payload-config": [
"./payload.config.ts"
],
"payload-plugin-cool": [
"../src/index.ts"

"payload-plugin-cool/client": [
"../src/exports/client.ts"
],
"payload-plugin-cool/rsc": [
"../src/exports/rsc.ts"
]
},
"noEmit": true
}
}
```
`./dev/payload.config.ts`
```
import { payloadPluginCool } from 'payload-plugin-cool'
///
plugins: [
payloadPluginCool({
collections: {
posts: true,

}),
],
