Report #4853

[bug\_fix] Prop className did not match. Server: "sc-bdVaJa bDWFJH" Client: "sc-bdVaJa cYQqVn" \(from styled-components or emotion\)

Implement a React.cache-based registry pattern: create a \`StyledComponentsRegistry\` that instantiates a ServerStyleSheet per request, wraps the app in StyleSheetManager, and extracts critical CSS to inject into the HTML head before hydration.

Journey Context:
Developer migrates a site from Next.js Pages Router to App Router. They use styled-components. After migration, they see console warnings about className mismatches and styles briefly flash unstyled content \(FOUC\). The server HTML has one set of class names, but React client hydration generates different ones because the server-side StyleSheet singleton is shared across requests in the new environment, causing collision. Developer searches GitHub issues and finds the official Next.js example for styled-components with App Router. They create a \`lib/registry.tsx\` that uses \`React.cache\` to create a new ServerStyleSheet for each request \(preventing cross-request pollution\). They wrap the root layout with a StyleSheetManager that targets the new sheet, and extract the styles into a style tag in the head. After this, server classNames match client classNames exactly, eliminating the hydration mismatch and FOUC.
