How can I remove a specific item from an array in JavaScript?

The gap in what exists

While many solutions exist, a single interactive tool or comprehensive guide that visually explains the trade-offs of different methods for this specific problem is less common than just finding the code snippet.

You are an expert JavaScript developer. I need to create a simple, single-page web application using Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind v4, and no external libraries for the core logic. The application's purpose is to demonstrate various native JavaScript methods for removing a specific item from an array. 

Here's the plan:
1.  **Setup:** Create a new Next.js project with the specified stack. Configure Tailwind CSS.
2.  **Core UI:** Develop a page with a simple input field for a comma-separated array (e.g., `1,2,3,4,2,5`), another input for the 'value to remove' (e.g., `2`), and a button to 'Remove Item'.
3.  **Display Area:** Below the inputs, have a section to display the original array and then the results of applying different removal methods.
4.  **Methods to Implement:** Implement and clearly label three distinct methods:
    a.  `Array.prototype.filter()`: Show how to create a new array without the specified value.
    b.  `Array.prototype.splice()` with `Array.prototype.indexOf()` (and loop for multiple occurrences if value appears more than once): Demonstrate in-place modification.
    c.  A custom `for` loop: Show a more manual, step-by-step approach.
5.  **Output:** For each method, display the resulting array and a brief explanation of how it works, its mutability, and potential side effects.
6.  **Error Handling (MVP):** Basic validation for input arrays and values.
7.  **Build/Verify Gate:** The application should correctly parse user input, execute all three removal methods, and display the distinct results for each on a single page. The UI should be responsive and visually clear using Tailwind.
