Report #25488

[bug\_fix] Warning: Prop \`className\` did not match. Server: "sc-bdavsQ" Client: "sc-gsnGS" \(Styled Components/Emotion hydration mismatch\)

Implement a Registry component that uses the stylesheet manager \(Styled Components\) or cache provider \(Emotion\) to collect styles during SSR and inject them into the document head in the root layout.

Journey Context:
Developer sets up Next.js App Router with Styled Components or Emotion. They create a simple styled component and render it in \`app/page.tsx\`. In development, they see a brief flash of unstyled content \(FOUC\) and the console warns that \`className\` did not match between server and client. The generated class hashes differ because the server doesn't know how to extract and inline the CSS. Developer searches for solutions and finds instructions for Pages Router \(\`pages/\_document.tsx\`\), but App Router doesn't use \_document. They try adding \`'use client'\` to the layout, which removes SSR entirely \(bad for performance\). They discover that CSS-in-JS libraries need a registry wrapper: for Styled Components, this involves creating a \`StyledComponentsRegistry\` that uses \`StyleSheetManager\` with \`shouldForwardProp\` and collects styles via \`getStyleElement\`. For Emotion, it involves \`createCache\` and \`CacheProvider\`. This registry component is imported into \`app/layout.tsx\` \(a Server Component\) and wraps the \`\{children\}\`. During SSR on the server, the registry collects all generated CSS rules and inserts them into the \`\`, ensuring the class names and styles match exactly on hydration.
