## Storefront Foundations Course Updates: Catalyst 1.6.3 and Next.js 16

Updates to the Storefront Foundations course reflect the Catalyst 1.6.3 release and its upgrade to Next.js 16.

* **Minimum Node.js version** — raises the prerequisite from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24 in both Catalyst labs
* **Install command** — updates the Catalyst CLI install command to target `catalyst-makeswift@1.6.3`
* **Out-of-the-box features** — adds product reviews and newsletter subscription to the feature list in the What Is Catalyst lesson
* **Proxy convention** — renames `middlewares` to `proxies` throughout the Structure and Conventions and Performance Checklist lessons, including directory names, file paths, section headings, and links, reflecting the Next.js 16 naming change
