Build Failure: TypeScript Error in ./lib/system-prompt.ts

Error Details

• File: ./lib/system-prompt.ts
• Line: 328
• Error: Type error: 'experiences' is possibly 'null'.

  const workExperience = experiences.map((exp, index) => ... )

Build Log Excerpt

[11:39:35.514] ./lib/system-prompt.ts:328:28
Type error: 'experiences' is possibly 'null'.
  328 |     const workExperience = experiences.map((exp, index) =>  ... )

Suggested Fix

Add a null check for experiences before calling .map, e.g.:

const workExperience = experiences ? experiences.map((exp, index) => ...) : [];

Notes

• This error causes the Vercel build to fail.
• Please ensure experiences is always an array (not null) before mapping.
• If experiences can be null, provide a fallback (empty array or handle appropriately).

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Trigger a build (e.g., via Vercel or npm run build).
2. Observe failure caused by the above type error.

Build Environment:

• Next.js: 15.2.4
• Node: (see builder's default)
• Vercel CLI: 42.2.0

---

If more info is needed, check the last build logs or ask for full logs from the Vercel dashboard.
