Report #12712

[bug\_fix] Warning: Prop \`className\` did not match. Server: "sc-abc123 def456" Client: "sc-abc123 ghi789" when using styled-components or Emotion

Implement the styled-components registry using React.cache and AsyncLocalStorage \(for App Router\) to ensure styles are collected during SSR and injected into the HTML head, ensuring class name generation is synchronized between server and client.

Journey Context:
Developer sets up styled-components in Next.js 14 App Router following old Pages Router guides. In development, sees console warning about className mismatch and styles flickering/hydration errors. Checks network tab, sees HTML has different class names than what React expects on client. Realizes styled-components generates unique class names via a counter; if server and client render order differs, counters desync. Tries to configure Babel plugin, but App Router requires different solution. Discovers Next.js examples repo has 'with-styled-components' specifically for App Router using a Registry component that uses React.cache to share stylesheet instance across renders. Implements registry pattern, wraps children in layout. Error resolved, styles consistent.
