In Next.js applications, layouts often need access to data that only becomes available after a nested page has rendered - for example, localized slugs from a headless CMS that are required to build SEO-friendly, localized URLs. This article explores how to bridge that gap with React Context, why global stores and "server contexts" are usually not a good idea, and how a context-based pattern can help manage your state safely across render client/server boundaries.
