Report #77238

[bug\_fix] Error: Dynamic server usage: searchParams / generateStaticParams is required for static generation of dynamic routes.

Export an async \`generateStaticParams\` function from the page component that returns an array of objects, each representing the route parameters for one static path. For dynamic routes with unknown paths at build time, either use \`dynamicParams = true\` with fetch revalidation, or switch to dynamic rendering by exporting \`dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\`.

Journey Context:
Developer creates \`app/posts/\[slug\]/page.tsx\` that fetches a blog post based on \`params.slug\`. During \`next build\`, the build fails with "Error: generateStaticParams is required for static generation." Developer is familiar with Pages Router's \`getStaticPaths\` but doesn't know the App Router equivalent. After checking the error URL, developer learns that Next.js 13\+ requires \`generateStaticParams\` to know which slugs to pre-render at build time. Implements: \`export async function generateStaticParams\(\) \{ const posts = await fetchPosts\(\); return posts.map\(p => \(\{ slug: p.slug \}\)\); \}\`. Build succeeds. Developer then realizes they have 100k posts, too many to generate at build time. Switches strategy: removes generateStaticParams, adds \`export const dynamicParams = true\`, and ensures \`fetch\` uses \`\{ next: \{ revalidate: 60 \} \}\` to cache dynamically generated pages. Build passes with fewer pages pre-generated.
