[bug\_fix] Next.js App Router: \`getServerSideProps\` or \`getStaticProps\` not found \(or builds fail with \`You have an error in your import statement\`\)

Replace \`getServerSideProps\` with \`fetch\` inside a server component or use \`generateStaticParams\` and \`generateMetadata\` for static generation. In App Router, the old data fetching methods are not used. For server-side data fetching, call \`fetch\` directly in the server component. For static generation, use \`generateStaticParams\` for dynamic routes.

Journey Context:
A developer migrating from Pages Router to App Router attempts to use \`getServerSideProps\` in a \`page.js\` file inside the \`app/\` directory. The build fails with an error about the export not being recognized. The developer might search for 'getServerSideProps in App Router' and find that it's not supported. The rabbit hole involves trying to adapt the old pattern, but the correct approach is to use the new \`fetch\`-based data fetching or \`generateStaticParams\`. The root cause is that App Router uses a different data fetching paradigm based on React Server Components and \`async\` components. The proven fix is to refactor the component to use \`async\` functions with \`fetch\` or \`prisma\` calls directly in the server component, and for static generation use \`generateStaticParams\`.
