This feels like a dumb question but I don't understand how production deployments work with Prismic.
In local, the API has you log into the browser--but I can't find information on how that works when deploying to production with my app. I can't exactly have Vercel let me log me into a browser window and the documents seem to just gloss over it just working.
My build fails with an error "npm ERR! Incorrect or missing password." and my guess is this is from Prismic.
This is the error I get when deploying to Vercel--following the Prismic NextJS docs:

Hey @dhayes, maybe you need to build your project before trying to deploy the changes. Sometimes the project can work perfectly in dev mode, and it's only after building you can identify if something is missing.
I appreciate the reply. It does the build command as part of the deployment.
After looking through a lot of threads of possibly related things I was able to get deployment to work by deleting the package-lock file. For whatever reason, it ONLY works when it's not included.
I'd still like to understand, though, how Prismic's updated next client works for deployment. The official docks don't mention creating an access token (they do for vanilla JS but not Next JS). I ended up adding one anyway when I was trying to troubleshoot--but I haven't really confirmed if it's doing anything just yet.
