Report #25084

[bug\_fix] Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server \(Text content does not match server-rendered HTML\)

Add \`suppressHydrationWarning\` to the element with dynamic content if the mismatch is unavoidable \(e.g., browser extensions\), or move client-only logic \(Date, Math.random, localStorage\) inside a \`useEffect\` hook so it only runs after hydration, ensuring the initial server render matches the initial client render.

Journey Context:
You notice a red console error in development showing a hydration mismatch, often pointing to a timestamp or randomly generated ID. You check your code and find \`new Date\(\).toLocaleString\(\)\` or a UUID generator directly in the component body. You initially think wrapping it in a try-catch or checking \`typeof window\` will help, but \`typeof window\` is defined during the client hydration phase, so the mismatch persists. You then realize the server renders one value, the client hydrates with another, causing React to panic. You either move the logic into \`useEffect\` \(which only runs after hydration\) to avoid the mismatch entirely, or use \`suppressHydrationWarning\` if the difference is benign \(like browser extension-injected attributes\).
