[bug\_fix] Dynamic server usage: cookies/headers

Export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' or call unstable\_noStore\(\) at the top of the route to opt out of static generation and force request-time rendering.

Journey Context:
Developer deploys a Next.js 14 app to Vercel. The build succeeds locally but fails in production with 'Error: Dynamic server usage: cookies'. The stack trace points to a page that calls cookies\(\) from next/headers. They realize that Next.js attempts to statically generate pages at build time by default, but cookies\(\) requires an active HTTP request object which doesn't exist during static generation. They search the error and find that Next.js treats dynamic APIs like cookies\(\), headers\(\), and searchParams as signals for dynamic rendering, but only if the route hasn't already been forced static. The fix is adding 'export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'' in the page file, which explicitly tells Next.js to render this route on each request, allowing access to the request-scoped cookies.
