With output: "standalone", next build writes server.js under
.next/standalone but leaves generated static/public assets in the
project root, so starting the standalone server directly (e.g. via PM2)
404s on JS/CSS/font/favicon requests and /login stays stuck loading.
Add a postbuild step that copies .next/static and public into the
standalone directory, skipping the workspace-traced CLI build which
already copies its own assets.
/api/auth/status did not expose whether the auth cookie corresponds to a
valid dashboard session, so /login could only detect "auth disabled"
(requireLogin === false) and not "already logged in". Add authenticated
to the status response and redirect from /login when it's true.
