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

Add the \`suppressHydrationWarning\` prop to the element that differs \(for text mismatches like dates\), or wrap the client-dependent logic in a \`useEffect\` with an \`isClient\` state guard to ensure it only renders on the client.

Journey Context:
Developer deploys a Next.js App Router app to Vercel and checks the console to see a massive red error: 'Text content does not match server-rendered HTML.' The diff shows the server sent 'Jan 1, 2024' but the client expected 'Dec 31, 2023'. The developer realizes the server is running in UTC \(Node.js on Vercel\) while the client browser uses the user's local timezone, causing a mismatch in \`toLocaleDateString\(\)\`. They first try to fix it by using \`typeof window \!== 'undefined'\` checks in the render, but this fails because the component still renders the mismatched HTML on the client during hydration. After digging through GitHub issues, they discover \`suppressHydrationWarning\`, which they add to the \`\` element. For more complex UI that absolutely cannot be server-rendered \(like a chart library\), they move the component into a separate file with 'use client' and wrap it in a guard: \`const \[mounted, setMounted\] = useState\(false\); useEffect\(\(\) => setMounted\(true\), \[\]\); return mounted ? : null;\`. This ensures the server sends a placeholder \(or nothing\) and the client only renders the real component after hydration, eliminating the mismatch.
