[bug\_fix] generateStaticParams required for dynamic route with dynamicParams false or static export

Export an async function named generateStaticParams that returns an array of objects, each with keys matching the dynamic segment names \(e.g., \[\{ slug: 'hello' \}, \{ slug: 'world' \}\]\).

Journey Context:
Developer creates a dynamic route at app/posts/\[slug\]/page.tsx to render blog posts. They write the component to fetch data based on params.slug. They run next build to test the production build. The build fails with an error: 'generateStaticParams is required for dynamic routes with dynamicParams set to false' or 'Page is missing generateStaticParams\(\) so it cannot be used with output: export'. The developer is confused because they expected the route to be dynamically server-rendered on demand. They check their next.config.js and see output: 'export' or realize that by default, dynamic routes without generateStaticParams will throw in static export mode. They read the Next.js documentation on dynamic routes and static generation. They implement an export async function generateStaticParams\(\) in their \[slug\]/page.tsx file. This function fetches the list of all possible slugs from their CMS \(or hardcodes them for testing\) and returns an array like \[\{ slug: 'first-post' \}, \{ slug: 'second-post' \}\]. After adding this function, next build successfully generates static HTML files for each slug at build time.
