Build a composable headless storefront

Architect a sub-50ms headless commerce storefront with React 19 optimistic cart state, memory-mapped inventory allocation, and Stripe checkout adapters.

TARGET PROOF OF WORK DELIVERABLE:

A deployed Next.js 16 storefront with zero-latency optimistic cart mutations and verified checkout webhook reconciliation.

STEP 01 OF 04

Initialize Next.js 16 storefront & catalog schemas

Scaffold the project with strict TypeScript interfaces for products, SKUs, variants, and pricing tiers.

EXPECTED STEP ARTIFACT

Typed product catalog with Zod validation and static ISR regeneration.
