[bug\_fix] Cannot destructure property 'slug' of 'params' as it is undefined or params is not iterable in Next.js 15 App Router

Mark the Page component as async and await the params prop, which is now a Promise in Next.js 15. Alternatively, use React.use\(params\) in Client Components.

Journey Context:
Developer upgrades from Next.js 14 to 15. Suddenly all pages using \`params\` in page.js throw "params is not iterable" or cannot access params.slug. Checks type definitions and sees params is now Promise<\{ slug: string \}> instead of \{ slug: string \}. Has to refactor every page component to be async and await params. Developer checks the route definition and file structure, confirming \[...slug\] or \[id\] segments are correct. They console.log\(params\) and see it is a Promise object, not the resolved value. After checking the Next.js 15 upgrade guide, they realize the breaking change: dynamic APIs including params and searchParams are now asynchronous. They refactor the page component to be async function Page\(\{ params \}: \{ params: Promise<\{ slug: string \}> \}\) and await params before destructuring, resolving the error.
