fix: force-dynamic on explore page to prevent static prerender crash with useSearchParams

Add LLM_API_KEY, LLM_BASE_URL, LLM_MODEL env vars so any
OpenAI-compatible API (OpenRouter, etc.) can be used as the LLM
backend without code changes.

+# Comparaison — Project Agent Rules
+
+## LLM Provider
+
+- **Base URL**: `https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1` (not `api.nano-gpt.com`)
+- **API Key**: Use `NANOGPT_API_KEY` env var from the host's Docker `.env`
+- **Model**: `minimax/minimax-m2.7` (supports `response_format: {type: json_object}`)
+- **Schema tolerance**: The LLM output may deviate from the requested schema. The provider code (`src/lib/llm/providers/openai.ts`) includes `normalizeResult()` to handle common deviations (overallScore as object, sources as strings, dimensions as array of objects). Do NOT assume the LLM returns the exact schema.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Local dev
+npm run dev
+
+# Build Docker image
+docker compose build
+
+# Run container
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Run E2E tests
+npm install
+npm run test:e2e:install
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+Deployed to `ubuntu:/srv/compose/comparaison/` via `docker compose`.
+Traefik routes `comparaison.local.tophermayor.com` → container port 3000.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Required in `.env`:
+- `DATABASE_URL` — PostgreSQL connection string
+- `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET` — Session secret (min 32 chars)
+- `BETTER_AUTH_URL` — Auth callback URL
+- `LLM_API_KEY` — NanoGPT API key (Hermes `NANOGPT_API_KEY` works)
+- `LLM_BASE_URL` — `https://nano-gpt.com/api/v1`
+- `LLM_MODEL` — `minimax/minimax-m2.7`
+
+## Key Routes
+
+| Route | Method | Auth | Description |
+|-------|--------|------|-------------|
+| `/api/compare` | POST | Yes | Start SSE comparison stream |
+| `/api/comparisons/[slug]` | GET | Yes | Get comparison by slug |
+| `/api/user/comparisons` | GET | Yes | List user's comparisons |
+| `/api/user/stats` | GET | Yes | User statistics |
+| `/api/auth/sign-in/email` | POST | No | Email/password sign-in |
+
+## Testing
+
+E2E tests live in `e2e/` and use Playwright. See `e2e/README.md` for setup.

+# E2E Tests
+
+Playwright-based end-to-end tests covering auth, the compare API, comparisons CRUD, and user stats.
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies (includes Playwright)
+npm install
+
+# Install Chromium browser for Playwright
+npm run test:e2e:install
+
+# Copy and fill in test credentials
+cp .env.test.example .env.test.local
+# Edit .env.test.local with your test user credentials
+```
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests (headless)
+npm run test:e2e
+
+# Run with headed browser (visible)
+npm run test:e2e:headed
+
+# Run with Playwright UI (step-through debugger)
+npm run test:e2e:ui
+
+# View the HTML report from last run
+npm run test:e2e:report
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The Comparaison Docker container must be running on the target host:
+
+```bash
+ssh bear@192.168.50.61 'cd /srv/compose/comparaison && docker compose up -d'
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `E2E_HOST` | `192.168.50.61` | Host running the Docker container |
+| `E2E_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:3000` | App URL for browser navigation |
+| `E2E_TARGET_HOST` | `192.168.50.61` | Host for API calls via Traefik |
+| `E2E_TEST_EMAIL` | `admin@admin.com` | Test user email |
+| `E2E_TEST_PASSWORD` | `adminpass` | Test user password |
+
+## Test Structure
+
+```
+e2e/
+  global-setup.ts      # Verifies app is reachable before tests
+  global-teardown.ts   # Cleanup after tests
+  helpers.ts           # Shared utilities (auth, SSE parsing, URL resolution)
+  auth.spec.ts         # Authentication flows (6 tests)
+  compare.spec.ts      # Compare API including SSE and DB persistence (8 tests)
+  comparisons.spec.ts   # List and detail views (6 tests)
+  user.spec.ts         # User stats and account (5 tests)
+```
+
+## CI Integration
+
+In CI (GitHub Actions, Gitea Actions), set environment variables and run:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm run test:e2e:install
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+The JSON results file (`playwright-results.json`) can be uploaded as a CI artifact.
