 ## Why json-render?
 
-When users prompt for UI, you need guarantees. json-render gives AI a **constrained vocabulary** so output is always predictable:
+json-render enables **User-Generated Interfaces**: dynamic UIs that end users create through natural language prompts, powered by Generative UI. You define the guardrails, AI generates within them:

+## 0.5.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 429e456: Fix LLM hallucinations by dynamically generating prompt examples from the user's catalog instead of hardcoding component names. Adds optional `example` field to `ComponentDefinition` with Zod schema introspection fallback. Mentions RFC 6902 in output format section.
+- Updated dependencies [429e456]
+  - @json-render/core@0.5.2
+
+## 0.5.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- d9a4efd: Prevent rendering errors from crashing the application. Added error boundaries to all renderers so a single bad component silently disappears instead of causing a white-screen-of-death. Fixed Select and Radio components to handle non-string option values from AI output.
+  - @json-render/core@0.5.1
