[bug\_fix] Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server

Add suppressHydrationWarning to the element or wrap client-dependent rendering in useEffect with an isClient state check to ensure server and client render identical HTML initially.

Journey Context:
Developer adds a timestamp showing 'Last updated: \{new Date\(\).toLocaleString\(\)\}' to a footer. In development everything works, but in production logs show 'Text content does not match server-rendered HTML'. They inspect the server response and see the HTML contains 'UTC' time while the browser hydrates with local timezone. They try conditional rendering but the error persists because the initial render still differs. They discover suppressHydrationWarning as a stopgap, but the robust fix involves useEffect with a mounted state boolean to only render the date client-side after hydration completes, ensuring the server HTML matches the initial client snapshot.
