Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
When rendering content that depends on client-side storage (localStorage, cookies), avoid both SSR breakage and post-hydration flickering by injecting a synchronous script that updates the DOM before React hydrates.

Code Comparison
•Incorrect (breaks SSR):tsx
•Incorrect (visual flickering):tsx
•Correct (no flicker, no hydration mismatch):tsx
Why This Matters
Impact: avoids visual flicker and hydration errors. This optimization is classified as MEDIUM priority for production applications.
