[bug\_fix] Styled-components or Emotion CSS-in-JS hydration mismatch \(className mismatch\)

For styled-components in Next.js App Router, implement a Registry component that uses ServerStyleSheet to collect styles during SSR and inject them into the HTML head before hydration. Ensure 'use client' is used appropriately on styled components or the registry is properly integrated.

Journey Context:
Developer sets up styled-components in a Next.js 13\+ App Router project. They install styled-components and start using it in Client Components. When they load the page, they see a console error: 'Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: "sc-bdVaJa bzXn" Client: "sc-bdVaJa cYloFW"'. The page initially renders with styles, then flashes unstyled content \(FOUC\), then rehydrates. This happens because the server generates one set of class names and the client generates different ones during the initial hydration pass because the ServerStyleSheet wasn't properly configured to extract and inject the CSS into the HTML head. The fix requires creating a Registry component \(as per Next.js docs\) that creates a ServerStyleSheet in the render phase, collects all styles from styled-components during SSR, and injects them into the before the HTML is sent to the browser, ensuring the client sees the same class names and styles during hydration.
