[bug\_fix] Error: Dynamic server usage: cookies/headers during next build \(Static Generation\) when calling cookies\(\) or headers\(\) in a Server Component.

Export \`const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` or \`const revalidate = 0\` from the page/layout file to opt out of static generation for that route. Alternatively, use \`unstable\_noStore\(\)\` from \`next/cache\` to indicate the route uses dynamic data.

Journey Context:
Developer builds a profile page that calls \`cookies\(\)\` from \`next/headers\` to get a session token. In \`next dev\`, it works perfectly. They run \`next build\` for production. The build fails with 'Dynamic server usage: cookies'. The error points to the line calling \`cookies\(\)\`. Developer is confused because it worked in dev. Realizes that Next.js tries to statically generate pages at build time by default \(SSG\). During static generation, there is no request object, thus no cookies. Developer searches 'Next.js cookies dynamic server usage'. Finds documentation explaining they must mark the route as dynamic. Adds \`export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` to the top of page.tsx. Re-runs build. Next.js now knows to skip static generation and render this page on each request \(SSR\). Build succeeds and runtime works.
