Every framework with server-side rendering faces the same problem. You render HTML on the server, send it to the browser, then your JavaScript needs to take over without breaking what's already there. This is hydration, and most frameworks make you think about it constantly. React introduced SSR years ago. In the older "Pages Router" model, you had to serialize state manually and often fought hydration mismatches.
