Using the `use()` Hook in React 19

Teaches when and how to use React 19's new use() API: reads Promises (suspending component) and Context (conditionally—inside if statements, loops, after early returns).

Activates when: User mentions use(), use hook, async patterns, Suspense + data fetching, conditional context, or useContext migration.
