Report #15299

[bug\_fix] async/await is not yet supported in Client Components

Move the async data fetching to a parent Server Component and pass data as props, or convert the component to a Server Component if it doesn't need browser APIs

Journey Context:
Developer creates a component that fetches data using \`const data = await fetch\(...\)\` directly in the component body, following the pattern used in Server Components. They mark it with "use client" because they need interactivity. During \`next build\`, the compiler throws an error stating async/await is not supported in Client Components. Developer tries to make the function async anyway, causing a hard build failure. They check the Next.js error message link and learn that Client Components cannot be async functions. The solution is to refactor: create a Server Component \(async\) that fetches the data, then passes it as props to the Client Component which handles the interactive UI. This leverages the proper composition pattern for App Router.
