[bug\_fix] CSS-in-JS \(styled-components\) hydration mismatch - className did not match

Implement a Registry for styled-components in the App Router by creating a registry.tsx that uses ServerStyleSheet to collect styles during SSR and injects them into the . For Pages Router, implement getInitialProps in \_document.tsx to extract critical CSS. Ensure the StyleSheetManager is used with the sheet. Root cause: Styled-components generates unique class names on the fly. Without SSR extraction, the server renders HTML without styles \(or with mismatched classes\), and the client generates different class names on hydration, causing a mismatch and Flash of Unstyled Content \(FOUC\).

Journey Context:
Developer sets up a Next.js project with styled-components. They create a simple styled.div and render it in a page. In development, everything looks fine \(because dev mode is more forgiving\), but in production build \(next build && next start\), they see a brief flash of unstyled content and the browser console shows 'Warning: Prop className did not match'. Developer tries to fix it by adding suppressHydrationWarning to the styled component, which silences the warning but doesn't fix the FOUC. They search and find references to ServerStyleSheet and \_document.tsx, but they're using the App Router where \_document doesn't exist. They find the specific 'styled-components registry' pattern in Next.js docs, create a registry.tsx with the ServerStyleSheet and StyleSheetManager, wrap their root layout with it, and the mismatch disappears.
