Chooses the right Material UI styling approach (sx, styled, theme overrides, global CSS) from official MUI guidance. Use when styling @mui/material components, customizing themes, overriding slots, or comparing sx vs styled.
Integrates Material UI with Next.js App and Pages routers using @mui/material-nextjs, Emotion cache providers, next/font, CSS layers with Tailwind/CSS Modules, Link component prop patterns, CSS theme variables SSR notes, and App Router useSearchParams + Suspense. Use when setting up or debugging MUI in a Next.js app.
