[bug\_fix] Using \`next/router\` instead of \`next/navigation\` in the App Router \(Next.js 13\+\)

Replace imports from \`next/router\` with \`next/navigation\`. Specifically: \`import \{ useRouter \} from 'next/navigation'\` instead of \`next/router\`.

Journey Context:
I was upgrading a project from the Pages Router to the App Router. The navigation code used \`useRouter\` from \`next/router\` to programmatically navigate after a form submission. In the App Router, this import worked for pages in the \`pages/\` directory, but when I moved the component to \`app/\`, the \`useRouter\` returned \`undefined\` and \`router.push\(\)\` threw a TypeError. The browser console showed 'Cannot read properties of undefined \(reading 'push'\)'. After reading the Next.js migration guide, I realized that the App Router provides a separate \`useRouter\` hook from \`next/navigation\` that works with the new file-based routing system. The fix: change the import to \`import \{ useRouter \} from 'next/navigation'\`. Now \`router.push\('/dashboard'\)\` works correctly. The old \`next/router\` hook is only for the Pages Router.
