- amplify.yml: build spec (preBuild npm ci with offline cache, build
next build, artifacts at .next/**, cache node_modules/.next-cache/.npm).
- .nvmrc: pin Node 20 so Amplify uses the same runtime as local.
- AMPLIFY_DEPLOY.md: first-time walkthrough covering AWS-side setup
(create app, connect GitHub via OAuth/App, branch/auto-detect),
environment variable table with secret-flag guidance, smoke-test via
/healthz and /api/health, optional custom domain + per-PR previews,
cost estimate, and operational notes (cold starts, no static
egress IPs, CloudWatch logs, secret rotation).
- README deploy section: now points at both AMPLIFY_DEPLOY.md and the
existing DEPLOYMENT.md (Render).
