[bug\_fix] Dynamic Server Usage: cookies/headers called in static route

Add \`export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` to the page/layout file, or use \`unstable\_noStore\(\)\` from \`next/cache\` inside the component. This opts the route out of static generation. Root cause: Next.js attempts to generate pages statically at build time, but \`cookies\(\)\` and \`headers\(\)\` require the actual incoming HTTP request object, which only exists at runtime, not during build.

Journey Context:
You are building a dashboard in Next.js 14 App Router that displays user-specific data. You create a Server Component at \`app/dashboard/page.tsx\` that calls \`const token = cookies\(\).get\('session'\)\` to authenticate the user. Everything works in development \(\`npm run dev\`\), but when you run \`npm run build\` to deploy, the build fails with "Error: Dynamic server usage: cookies". You check the stack trace and it points directly to your \`cookies\(\)\` call. You search the error and find Next.js documentation explaining that routes are statically generated by default, meaning they are rendered at build time when there is no request object \(and thus no cookies\). You consider wrapping the component in a Client Component to use \`document.cookie\`, but you want to keep the data fetching on the server for SEO and performance. You find the solution: you can export \`const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` from your page.tsx. This tells Next.js to render this page dynamically at request time rather than at build time, allowing access to the actual request cookies. Alternatively, you import \`unstable\_noStore\` from \`next/cache\` and call it at the top of your component, which achieves the same effect. You add \`export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\`, rebuild successfully, and the deployed site correctly reads the authentication cookie at runtime.
