[bug\_fix] CSS-in-JS \(styled-components\) hydration mismatch

Configure a Style Registry using \`useServerInsertedHTML\` from \`next/navigation\` in a Client Component wrapper, imported into the root layout. Root cause: CSS-in-JS libraries generate unique classNames and inject styles client-side; without server-side extraction of critical CSS, the server HTML lacks style tags and classNames differ from the client hydration result.

Journey Context:
Developer sets up a Next.js 14 App Router project with styled-components v6. They create a simple \`const Button = styled.button...\` component and render it in a page. On initial page load, the button appears completely unstyled for a split second \(FOUC - Flash of Unstyled Content\), then snaps to the correct style. The browser console shows 'Warning: Prop \`className\` did not match' comparing server HTML to client HTML. Developer first suspects a version mismatch between React server and client. They verify \`styled-components\` is in dependencies not devDependencies, and that Babel plugin is configured \(though Next.js 14 uses SWC\). They try adding \`suppressHydrationWarning\` which silences the error but doesn't fix the FOUC. Searching 'Next.js 14 styled-components hydration', they find that App Router requires a specific Registry pattern. Unlike Pages Router \(which used \`\_document.tsx\`\), App Router needs a Client Component that uses \`useServerInsertedHTML\` from \`next/navigation\` to collect all styles generated during SSR and inject them into the \`\` before hydration. Without this registry, the server sends HTML without the \`
