[bug\_fix] Styled-components \(or Emotion\) hydration mismatch in Next.js App Router

Create a \`StyledComponentsRegistry\` \(or \`CacheProvider\` for Emotion\) that uses \`useServerInsertedHTML\` to collect styles during SSR and inject them into the \`\`. Wrap the root layout with this registry. Root cause: CSS-in-JS libraries generate unique class names \(hash\) during render; without a registry to synchronize the server-generated styles with the client, the class names differ between server and client HTML, causing a hydration mismatch and missing styles on initial load.

Journey Context:
You set up a new Next.js project with styled-components. You create a simple styled button \(\`const Button = styled.button...\`\) and render it in \`app/page.tsx\`. In dev mode, you see a console warning: "Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: 'sc-abc123' Client: 'sc-def456'". The button appears unstyled for a split second, then flashes to the correct style. You search online and find suggestions about Babel plugins, but Next.js uses SWC now. You find the official Next.js example for styled-components with App Router. You realize you need to create a \`registry.tsx\` that creates a \`StyleSheet\` instance, uses \`useServerInsertedHTML\` to collect the styles during the server render, and injects them into the head. You implement the registry, wrap your root \`layout.tsx\` with it, and restart the dev server. The className mismatch warning disappears because the server now sends the generated styles in the initial HTML, and the client reuses those exact class names during hydration.
