+## 2025-02-18 - IconifyIcon Component Next.js Cache Type Requirements
+**Learning:** The custom `IconifyIcon` component (`client/src/components/base/IconifyIcon.tsx`) requires an O(N) array iteration to resolve icons from multiple loaded JSON icon sets. Caching these lookups is essential, especially caching negative results (missing icons). However, using `undefined` for a missing result cache breaks Next.js strict build validations since `@iconify/react`'s `IconProps["icon"]` implicitly expects an extended icon shape (`IconifyIcon & { [key: string]: any }`) or primitive types.
+**Action:** When implementing a custom cache to memoize resolved Iconify icons from JSON imports inside Next.js components, define an explicit `ExtendedIconifyIcon | null` type. Store `null` instead of `undefined` for negative hits to satisfy `IconifyIcon | null` constraint without triggering bundle/build failures from `@iconify/react` type exports.
