Report #9041

[bug\_fix] Hydration failed because the initial UI does not match what was rendered on the server: Text content does not match server-rendered HTML.

Defer browser-specific logic \(window, document, localStorage, Date.now\(\)\) inside useEffect so it only runs after mount, or add suppressHydrationWarning for unavoidable mismatches like timestamps.

Journey Context:
Developer adds a responsive layout component that reads \`const width = window.innerWidth\` directly in the component body to set initial state. In development \(CSR\), it works. In production \(SSR\), Next.js renders HTML with \`width\` as 0 or undefined, but the browser hydrates with the actual window width, causing a text mismatch error. Developer tries \`typeof window \!== 'undefined'\` but the initial HTML still differs between server and client. After checking the hydration error stack, they realize the component must render identical HTML on both environments initially. They move the window check into \`useEffect\(\(\) => setWidth\(window.innerWidth\), \[\]\)\`, ensuring the server renders the fallback \(e.g., 0 or a skeleton\), then the client updates after mount, avoiding the mismatch.
