Report #68574

[bug\_fix] Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server \(Text content does not match\)

Ensure deterministic rendering between server and client. For dynamic values like dates or random IDs, use \`useEffect\` to render only on the client after hydration, or add the \`suppressHydrationWarning\` prop to the element if the difference is harmless formatting whitespace.

Journey Context:
Developer sees a red console error during development or production: 'Text content does not match: server... client...'. They inspect the component and see a simple date display like \`\{new Date\(\).toLocaleString\(\)\}\`. The server renders the date at build/request time; the client hydrates with the browser's current time, causing a mismatch. They try to fix it by checking \`typeof window\`, but that breaks SSR or causes the mismatch to persist. They eventually realize that any value that differs between server and client must be rendered exclusively on the client using \`useEffect\` with an \`isClient\` state flag, or the element can be marked with \`suppressHydrationWarning\` if the content is semantically identical but string-formatted differently.
