[bug\_fix] Using \`getServerSideProps\` in App Router causes build errors or no data fetching

In the App Router, remove \`getServerSideProps\` and \`getStaticProps\`. Instead, fetch data directly inside server components using \`async\` component functions or using \`fetch\` with \`cache: 'no-store'\` for dynamic data. For client components, use \`useEffect\` or React Query. The App Router does not support the old data fetching methods.

Journey Context:
A developer tried to copy a page from Pages Router to App Router, including \`getServerSideProps\`. They got a build error: 'getServerSideProps is not supported in the app directory'. They were confused because the function worked in the previous project. After reading the Next.js App Router data fetching documentation, they learned that server components can be \`async\` and directly \`await\` fetch calls. They rewrote the page as an async server component and removed the \`getServerSideProps\` export. The page worked and data was fetched on the server.
