hi, im making a static website, so i ran pnpm dlx create-next-app@latest, said yes to all prompts except "use app router" and "customize import alias", slightly modified my config:
import type { NextConfig } from "next";

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  /* config options here */
  reactStrictMode: true,
  output: 'export',
  images: {
    loader: 'akamai',
    path: '',
  },
};

export default nextConfig;

and when i run pnpm run build (runs next build --turbopack), it warns me about statically exporting it; why is this?

the command appears like this because the prompt is sticky in the integrated terminal of vscodium, this is the full log for the command:
PS C:\Users\...> npm run build                    
   
> megathread@0.1.0 build
> next build --turbopack
