Description
react's prerender function "awaits" for suspense to resolve
this creates a problem when using withServerValueInitial which never resolves, so useAtomSuspense blocks forever and the prerender never finishes
this can be solved by aborting the prerender (how PPR works) but I thought this might be partially a bug in atom

Research direction
Start by reproducing the interaction between React's prerender, withServerValueInitial, and useAtomSuspense described in the issue, confirming that the prerender waits indefinitely. Trace the relevant atom and suspense entry points to determine whether the atom behavior should change; done means the intended prerender behavior is established and covered by a regression check.
