[bug\_fix] Dynamic server usage: headers/cookies called during static generation

Add \`export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'\` to the page/layout to force dynamic rendering on each request, or use \`unstable\_noStore\(\)\` from next/cache to opt out of static generation for specific data fetches, or move the logic to a Route Handler.

Journey Context:
Developer creates a Server Component that reads authentication state via \`cookies\(\).get\('session'\)\` or \`headers\(\).get\('authorization'\)\` to personalize the page. During development \(next dev\), it works fine because every request is rendered dynamically. However, when running \`next build\` for production, the build fails with 'Error: Dynamic server usage: cookies' or similar. This occurs because Next.js attempts to statically generate the page at build time by default, but cookies/headers are only available during actual HTTP requests. Developer tries wrapping the code in try/catch or checking if cookies exists, but the error persists because the static analysis determines the route is dynamic. The solution is to explicitly tell Next.js this route requires dynamic rendering via the export const dynamic configuration, or use the unstable\_noStore API to mark that this data cannot be cached/statically generated.
