Details:
- Vite build completes in ~9.5 seconds
- Build container hangs for 45 minutes after completion before timing out
- Started happening around March 25th, 2026
- Affects multiple Lovable projects (task-forge, consensus-insights)
- Same issue occurs across multiple accounts
- No code changes correlate with the failures

Deployment IDs for reference:
- `dpl_DRVnyYpEhCppG3KbFvwGrQvbkUpy`
- `dpl_BuiDrUfzKAshV5K9mBhMrhAT2wSylet`

The build is likely hanging during the deployment phase after your build successfully completes. That can happen if there is a large number of output files or build artifacts not being properly finalized.

First thing I'd recommend is checking for a high volume of output files. If generating thousands of files, consider using ISR instead of SSG or reduce the number of static pages generated at build time.

As a workaround, you could try prebuilt deployments. Vercel CLI will let you [deploy from a local build](https://vercel.com/docs/cli/deploying-from-cli#deploying-from-local-build-prebuilt). You can use `vercel deploy --prebuilt --archive=tgz` to compress the build output and then deploy it.

I hope that helps!
