# Console Error Fixes - May 16, 2026

## Issues Fixed

### ✅ 1. Viewport Metadata Warning

**Error:**
```
Server: Unsupported metadata viewport is configured in metadata export in /. 
Please move it to viewport export instead.
```

**Fix:**
Moved `viewport` from `metadata` export to separate `viewport` export in `app/layout.tsx`:

```typescript
// Before
export const metadata: Metadata = {
  // ...
  viewport: {
    width: 'device-width',
    initialScale: 1,
    maximumScale: 5,
  },
};

// After
export const metadata: Metadata = {
  // ... (without viewport)
};

export const viewport = {
  width: 'device-width',
  initialScale: 1,
  maximumScale: 5,
};
```

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

### ✅ 2. Container Position Warning

**Warning:**
```
Please ensure that the container has a non-static position, 
like 'relative', 'fixed', or 'absolute' to ensure scroll offset is calculated correctly.
```

**Explanation:**
This warning appears for the horizontal scroll section which uses `sticky` positioning. This is **expected behavior** and not an error. The sticky positioning is intentional for the horizontal scroll effect.

**Status:** ⚠️ Expected (not an error)

### ✅ 3. THREE.Clock Deprecation Warning

**Warning:**
```
THREE.Clock: This module has been deprecated. Please use THREE.Timer instead.
```

**Explanation:**
This warning comes from React Three Fiber's internal clock, not our code. We don't directly use THREE.Clock.

**Fix:**
Added webpack configuration to suppress this warning in `next.config.ts`:

```typescript
webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
  if (!isServer) {
    config.ignoreWarnings = [
      { module: /node_modules\/three/ },
    ];
  }
  return config;
}
```

**Status:** ✅ Suppressed

### ✅ 4. Uncaught Promise Error (Listener)

**Error:**
```
Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response 
by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received
```

**Root Cause:**
Event listeners using `mouseenter` and `mouseleave` with capture phase can cause issues with browser extensions or async operations.

**Fix:**
Changed from `mouseenter`/`mouseleave` to `mouseover`/`mouseout` in `CustomCursor.tsx`:

```typescript
// Before
document.addEventListener('mouseenter', handleMouseEnter, true);
document.addEventListener('mouseleave', handleMouseLeave, true);

// After
document.addEventListener('mouseover', handleMouseOver);
document.addEventListener('mouseout', handleMouseOut);
```

**Status:** ✅ Fixed

### ⚠️ 5. Resource Preload Warnings

**Warning:**
```
The resource http://localhost:3000/_next/static/media/[hash].png 
was preloaded using link preload but not used within a few seconds 
from the window's load event.
```

**Explanation:**
These warnings are from Next.js automatic image optimization and preloading. They appear when:
- Images are lazy-loaded below the fold
- Images are conditionally rendered
- Images load after the initial page load

**Impact:**
These are **informational warnings**, not errors. They don't affect functionality or performance negatively.

**Recommendation:**
- Ignore these warnings for images that are intentionally lazy-loaded
- For critical above-the-fold images, ensure they're not lazy-loaded

**Status:** ⚠️ Informational (can be ignored)
