[bug\_fix] Cannot destructure property 'slug' of 'params' as it is undefined

In Next.js 15\+, params and searchParams are now asynchronous Promises. You must await them in Server Components: const \{ slug \} = await params; or use React.use\(params\) in Client Components.

Journey Context:
Developer upgrades from Next.js 14 to 15. They have a page component export default function Page\(\{ params \}: \{ params: \{ slug: string \} \}\). After the upgrade, accessing params.slug returns undefined or throws an error about not being able to read properties of undefined. Developer checks the TypeScript types and sees that params is now Promise<\{ slug: string \}>. They try to make the component async: export default async function Page\(\{ params \}\) \{ const \{ slug \} = await params; ... \} and it works. Alternatively, in a Client Component, they use const \{ slug \} = React.use\(params\);. They realize Next.js 15 made these params asynchronous to allow parallel rendering of route segments, which is a breaking change from the synchronous access in version 14.
