[bug\_fix] Error: Cannot import Server Component into Client Component...

Do not import the Server Component directly into the Client Component file. Instead, have the parent Server Component import both, then pass the Server Component as a \`children\` prop \(or other slot prop\) to the Client Component. The Client Component can render \`\{children\}\` without knowing it's receiving a Server Component.

Journey Context:
Developer creates a \`Modal\` component with \`'use client'\` to manage focus traps and portals. Wants to display dynamic server-fetched data inside the modal, so they import \`ServerData\` \(a Server Component\) directly into \`Modal.tsx\`. Immediate build-time error stating Server Components cannot be imported into Client Components. Developer confused because they see examples of Server and Client Components being used together. Realizes the architectural boundary: Client Components cannot import Server Components because that would force the server code to be bundled to the client. Instead, they restructure so the parent page \(Server Component\) renders \`\`. \`Modal\` receives \`ServerData\` as \`children\` and simply renders \`\{children\}\`. This works because the Server Component renders on the server first, and the Client Component receives the resulting HTML/RSC payload.
