[bug\_fix] In Next.js App Router, using \`params\` or \`searchParams\` without \`await\` causes a build error or runtime error

In async page components, \`params\` and \`searchParams\` are Promises. You must \`await\` them. Example: \`export default async function Page\(\{ params \}: \{ params: Promise<\{ slug: string \}> \}\) \{ const \{ slug \} = await params; ... \}\`

Journey Context:
I was building a dynamic route \`app/blog/\[slug\]/page.tsx\`. I wrote \`export default function Page\(\{ params \}\) \{ return \{params.slug\} ; \}\`. In development it worked, but when I ran \`next build\`, it failed with: 'Error: params is not a valid route parameter. It must be awaited.' I was confused because the Pages Router didn't require this. After reading the docs, I realized that in App Router, \`params\` and \`searchParams\` are now Promises to support streaming and partial rendering. I changed the component to \`async\` and added \`await params\`. The build succeeded and the page rendered correctly. This is a common pitfall when migrating from Pages Router.
