+## Lockfile in a parent folder
+
+Next.js 16 uses the highest folder with a lockfile as the workspace root. If a parent
+folder holds a lockfile, Next.js takes that folder as the root. It then resolves packages
+and traces output from the wrong folder. `next dev` and `next build` print this warning:
+
+```text
+Warning: Next.js inferred your workspace root, but it may not be correct.
+```
+
+If you see the warning, read the lockfile paths that it lists. If the parent folder is a
+workspace that lists this app, do not set the root. Next.js chose the correct folder.
+Otherwise, set the root to the app folder in `next.config.ts`:
+
+```ts
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
+
+const nextConfig = {
+  turbopack: { root: fileURLToPath(new URL('.', import.meta.url)) },
+};
+```
+
+In a CommonJS `next.config.js`, use `turbopack: { root: __dirname }` instead. This value
+also sets `outputFileTracingRoot`. Do not set `outputFileTracingRoot` to a
