[bug\_fix] Text content does not match server-rendered HTML \(Hydration mismatch\)

Add the \`suppressHydrationWarning\` prop to the element if the mismatch is benign \(e.g., timestamps\), or move the client-dependent logic into \`useEffect\` with a \`mounted\` state check so it only renders after hydration.

Journey Context:
Developer adds \`\{new Date\(\).toLocaleString\(\)\}\` to their JSX. The page renders but the console shows a scary red error: "Text content does not match". They try wrapping it in \`typeof window \!== 'undefined'\`, but this makes the server render empty and the client render content, still causing a mismatch. They dive into React docs and learn that hydration requires identical HTML. They try \`dangerouslySetInnerHTML\` which feels wrong. Finally, they discover either the \`suppressHydrationWarning\` boolean prop for simple cases, or the robust pattern of using \`useEffect\` to set a \`mounted\` state to true, and only rendering the dynamic content when \`mounted\` is true, ensuring the server and initial client render match \(both null/loading\), then client updates.
