Image with src "${src}" has both "fill" and "style.position"

Error message

Image with src "${src}" has both "fill" and "style.position" properties. Images with "fill" always use position absolute - it cannot be modified.

What it means

Props validation in getImgProps: fill was combined with a style.position other than absolute. Fill images are always position:absolute, so allowing a different position would break the layout contract; the style override is rejected.

Solutions

1. Remove style.position when using fill; wrap the image in a positioned parent instead.

When it happens

Trigger: next/image with fill also sets style.position.

Common situations: fill images always use position absolute; custom style.position is rejected.
