Template rendered at 2026-05-03T10:38:32.198Z — this stamp regenerates on every navigation, while the surrounding layout timestamp would be stable.

template.tsx

template.tsx works like layout.tsx, but it remounts on every navigation. Use it for per-page effects (page-view pings, entry animations, fresh per-render state) where a stable layout would be wrong.
