-# Changesets
-
-Hello and welcome! This folder has been automatically generated by `@changesets/cli`, a build tool that works
-with multi-package repos, or single-package repos to help you version and publish your code. You can
-find the full documentation for it [in the repository](https://github.com/changesets/changesets).
-
-## Adding a changeset
-
-To add a changeset, run `pnpm changeset` in the root of the repository. This will prompt you to select
-which packages have changed and what type of version bump (major, minor, or patch) should be applied.
-
-All `@json-render/*` packages are versioned together -- a changeset for any one of them will bump all
-packages to the same version.

+- **Web app docs (`apps/web/`):** Never use Markdown table syntax (`| col | col |`). Always use HTML `<table>` with `<thead>`, `<tbody>`, `<tr>`, `<th>`, `<td>`. Markdown tables do not render correctly in the web app. Inside HTML table cells, curly braces must be escaped as JSX expressions (e.g. `<code>{'{ "$state": "/path" }'}</code>`) because MDX parses `{` as a JSX expression boundary.

+## AI SDK / AI Gateway
+
+When using the Vercel AI SDK (`ai` package) with AI Gateway, pass the model as a plain string identifier -- do not import a provider constructor:
+
+```ts
+import { streamText } from "ai";
+
+const result = streamText({
+  model: "anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5",
+  prompt: "...",
+});
+```
+
+This requires `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` to be set in the environment. See `tests/e2e/` for examples.
+
+## Dev Servers
+
+All apps and examples with dev servers use [portless](https://github.com/vercel-labs/portless) to avoid hardcoded ports. Portless assigns random ports and exposes each app via `.localhost` URLs.
+
+Naming convention:
+- Main web app: `json-render` → `json-render.localhost:1355`
+- Examples: `[name]-demo.json-render` → `[name]-demo.json-render.localhost:1355`
+
+When adding a new example that runs a dev server, wrap its `dev` script with `portless <name>`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "dev": "portless my-example-demo.json-render next dev --turbopack"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Do **not** add `--port` flags -- portless handles port assignment automatically. Do **not** add portless as a project dependency; it must be installed globally.

 - When making user-facing changes (new packages, API changes, new features, renamed exports, changed behavior), update the relevant documentation:
   - Package `README.md` files in `packages/*/README.md`
   - Root `README.md` (if packages table, install commands, or examples are affected)

+## Releasing
+
+Releases are manual, single-PR affairs. The maintainer controls the changelog voice and format.
+
+All public `@json-render/*` packages share the same version. The canonical version lives in `packages/core/package.json`.
+
+### Preparing a release
+
+When asked to prepare a release (e.g. "prepare v0.17.0"):
+
+1. Create a branch (e.g. `prepare-v0.17.0`)
+2. Bump the version in `packages/core/package.json`
+3. Run `pnpm run version:sync` to update all other `@json-render/*` packages
+4. Write the changelog entry in `CHANGELOG.md`, wrapped in `<!-- release:start -->` and `<!-- release:end -->` markers (move the markers from the previous entry to the new one)
+5. **Fill documentation gaps** — every public package should have:
+   - A row in the root `README.md` packages table
+   - A renderer section in the root `README.md` (if it's a renderer)
+   - An API reference page at `apps/web/app/(main)/docs/api/<name>/page.mdx`
+   - An entry in `apps/web/lib/page-titles.ts` and `apps/web/lib/docs-navigation.ts`
+   - An entry in the docs-chat system prompt (`apps/web/app/api/docs-chat/route.ts`)
+   - A skill at `skills/<name>/SKILL.md`
+   - A `packages/<name>/README.md`
+6. **Run `pnpm type-check`** after all changes to verify nothing is broken
+7. Open a PR and merge to `main`
+
+CI compares the `@json-render/core` version to what's on npm. If it differs, it builds, publishes all public packages, and creates the GitHub release automatically. The release body is extracted from the content between the markers.
+
+### Scripts
+
+- `pnpm run version:sync` — sync all `@json-render/*` package versions to match `@json-render/core`
+- `pnpm run version:check` — verify all versions are in sync (runs in CI)
+- `pnpm run ci:publish` — build all packages and publish to npm (CI only)

+# Changelog
+
+## 0.19.0
+
+<!-- release:start -->
+### New Features
+
+- **Custom directives API** — `@json-render/core` now supports custom directives via `defineDirective`, letting you declare new JSON shapes (like `$format`, `$math`) that resolve to computed values at render time. Directives compose naturally — nest `$format` over `$math` over `$state` and they resolve inside-out. All four renderers (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid) have built-in directive resolution (#279)
+- **`@json-render/directives`** — New package shipping seven ready-made directives: `$format` (date, currency, number, percent via `Intl`), `$math` (add, subtract, multiply, divide, mod, min, max, round, floor, ceil, abs), `$concat`, `$count`, `$truncate`, `$pluralize`, and `$join`. Also exports `createI18nDirective` for `$t` translation keys with `{{param}}` interpolation, and `standardDirectives` for one-line registration (#279)
+
+### Improvements
+
+- **Example READMEs** — Added documentation to the chat, dashboard, game-engine, and no-ai examples (#277)

+
+## 0.18.0
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Devtools** — Five new packages for inspecting json-render apps in the browser: `@json-render/devtools` (framework-agnostic core), plus `@json-render/devtools-react`, `@json-render/devtools-vue`, `@json-render/devtools-svelte`, and `@json-render/devtools-solid` adapters. Drop `<JsonRenderDevtools />` into your app to get a shadow-DOM-isolated panel with six tabs (Spec, State, Actions, Stream, Catalog, Pick), a DOM picker that maps clicked elements back to spec keys via `data-jr-key`, a capped event store, and server-side stream tap utilities. Floating toggle or `Cmd`/`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `J`, tree-shakes to `null` in production (#273)
+- **Devtools example** — New `examples/devtools` Next.js demo showing the full devtools panel wired up to an AI chat endpoint and a component catalog (#273)
+- **Action observer and devtools flag in core** — `@json-render/core` now exposes an action observer and a devtools enablement flag that adapters use to mirror actions and stream events into the panel (#273)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Zod 4 schema formatting** — `formatZodType` now correctly handles `z.record()`, `z.default()`, and `z.literal()` types from Zod 4, which previously produced incorrect or empty output in generated prompts and schemas (#239)
+
+### Improvements
+
+- **Zod 4 test coverage** — Added unit tests for `formatZodType` covering record, default, and literal types to guard against regressions (#272)

+- **Standalone gsplat example** — Experimental demo app showcasing Gaussian Splatting with gsplat.js (no Three.js dependency), featuring scene selector, live JSON spec viewer, and progress indicator (#259)
+- **R3F gsplat example** — Demo app with five scenes: splat showroom, splat with primitives, multi-splat, post-processing effects, and animated floating splat (#259)

+
+When creating schemas with `defineSchema`, you can pass options:
+
+```typescript
+interface SchemaOptions {
+  promptTemplate?: PromptTemplate;  // Custom AI prompt generator
+  defaultRules?: string[];          // Default rules injected before custom rules in prompts

+  description: string; // Human-readable description for the LLM
+}
+```
+
+Built-in actions are injected into prompts as `[built-in]` and are handled by the runtime (e.g. `ActionProvider`) without requiring handlers in `defineRegistry`. The React schema declares `setState`, `pushState`, and `removeState` as built-in.

+### createJsonRenderTransform
+
+Low-level `TransformStream` that separates text from JSONL patches in a mixed AI stream. Lines that parse as JSONL patches are emitted as `data-spec` parts; everything else passes through as text.
+
+The transform properly splits text blocks around spec data by emitting `text-end`/`text-start` pairs, ensuring the AI SDK creates separate text parts and preserving correct interleaving of prose and UI in `message.parts`.
+
+```typescript
+import { createJsonRenderTransform } from '@json-render/core';
+
+const transform = createJsonRenderTransform();
+// Use with ReadableStream.pipeThrough(transform) for custom pipelines

+  isNonEmptySpec,
+  type EditMode,
+  type EditConfig,
+} from '@json-render/core';
+
+type EditMode = "patch" | "merge" | "diff";
+```
+
+### buildEditInstructions
+
+Generate the prompt section describing available edit modes. Supports both JSON and YAML formats.
+
+```typescript
+function buildEditInstructions(config: EditConfig, format: "json" | "yaml"): string
+
+const instructions = buildEditInstructions({ modes: ["patch", "merge"] }, "json");
+```
+
+### buildEditUserPrompt
+
+Build a user prompt for editing an existing spec. Includes the current spec (with line numbers when diff mode is enabled) and mode-specific instructions.
+
+```typescript
+function buildEditUserPrompt(options: BuildEditUserPromptOptions): string
+
+interface BuildEditUserPromptOptions {
+  prompt: string;
+  currentSpec?: Spec | null;
+  config?: EditConfig;
+  format: "json" | "yaml";

+
+```typescript
+function isNonEmptySpec(spec: unknown): spec is Spec
+```
+
+## Deep Merge and Diff
+
+Format-agnostic utilities for merging and diffing spec objects.
+
+### deepMergeSpec
+
+Deep-merge with RFC 7396 semantics: `null` deletes, arrays replace, objects recurse. Neither input is mutated.
+
+```typescript
+import { deepMergeSpec } from '@json-render/core';

+function deepMergeSpec(
+  base: Record<string, unknown>,
+  patch: Record<string, unknown>

+```
+
+### diffToPatches
+
+Generate RFC 6902 JSON Patch operations that transform one object into another. Arrays are compared shallowly and replaced atomically; plain objects recurse.
+
+```typescript

+
+# @json-render/devtools
+
+Framework-agnostic core for the json-render devtools — vanilla TS panel UI, event store, DOM picker, and stream tap utilities. Every framework-specific adapter package depends on this.
+
+Most users never import from this package directly. Pick the adapter that matches your renderer (`@json-render/devtools-react`, `@json-render/devtools-vue`, etc.) and drop the `<JsonRenderDevtools />` component into your app.
+
+See the [Devtools guide](/docs/devtools) for the drop-in walkthrough.
+
+## Event Store
+
+### createEventStore
+
+```ts
+function createEventStore(options?: { bufferSize?: number }): EventStore
+
+interface EventStore {
+  push: (event: DevtoolsEvent) => void;
+  snapshot: () => DevtoolsEvent[];
+  subscribe: (listener: () => void) => () => void;
+  clear: () => void;
+  size: () => number;
+}
+```
+
+Ring-buffered pub/sub of `DevtoolsEvent`. Shared by every panel and every stream tap.
+
+## Panel
+
+### createPanel
+
+```ts
+function createPanel(options: PanelOptions): PanelHandle
+
+interface PanelHandle {
+  open: () => void;
+  close: () => void;
+  toggle: () => void;
+  isOpen: () => boolean;
+  refresh: () => void;
+  destroy: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+Mount the panel into a host document. Adapters call this internally.
+
+### Panel tabs
+
+Each tab is a factory function that returns a `TabDef`:
+
+```ts
+import {
+  specTab,
+  stateTab,
+  actionsTab,
+  streamTab,
+  catalogTab,
+  pickerTab,
+} from "@json-render/devtools";
+```
+
+## Stream Taps
+
+### tapJsonRenderStream
+
+```ts
+function tapJsonRenderStream(
+  stream: ReadableStream<StreamChunk>,
+  events: EventStore,
+): ReadableStream<StreamChunk>
+```
+
+Mirror the spec patches flowing through a `pipeJsonRender` transform into a devtools event store. Returns the original stream unchanged — the tap just forks a copy.
+
+### tapYamlStream
+
+```ts
+function tapYamlStream(
+  stream: ReadableStream<StreamChunk>,
+  events: EventStore,
+): ReadableStream<StreamChunk>
+```
+
+YAML equivalent of `tapJsonRenderStream`.
+
+### scanMessageParts
+
+```ts
+function scanMessageParts(
+  parts: readonly DataPart[] | undefined,
+  events: EventStore,
+  seen: WeakSet<object>,
+): void
+```
+
+Client-side helper: scan an AI SDK message's `parts` array for spec data parts and push matching events into the store. Idempotent via `seen` — call it on every render of a chat UI.
+
+## Picker
+
+### startPicker
+
+```ts
+function startPicker(options: PickerOptions): PickerSession | null
+
+interface PickerOptions {
+  onPick: (key: string) => void;
+  onCancel?: () => void;
+}
+```
+
+Start a DOM picker session. Hovering paints an outline on any element carrying `data-jr-key`; clicking fires `onPick` with the spec key. Returns `null` in environments without a DOM.
+
+### findElementByKey / highlightElement
+
+```ts
+function findElementByKey(key: string): Element | null
+function highlightElement(key: string, durationMs?: number): void
+```
+
+Look up the live DOM node for a spec element key, or briefly paint an outline around it.
+
+## Types
+
+### DevtoolsEvent
+
+```ts
+type DevtoolsEvent =
+  | { kind: "spec-changed"; at: number; spec: Spec }
+  | { kind: "state-set"; at: number; path: string; prev: unknown; next: unknown }
+  | { kind: "action-dispatched"; at: number; id: string; name: string; params?: unknown }
+  | { kind: "action-settled"; at: number; id: string; ok: boolean; result?: unknown; error?: string; durationMs: number }
+  | { kind: "stream-patch"; at: number; patch: JsonPatch; source: "json" | "yaml" }
+  | { kind: "stream-text"; at: number; text: string }
+  | { kind: "stream-usage"; at: number; usage: TokenUsage }
+  | { kind: "stream-lifecycle"; at: number; phase: "start" | "end"; ok?: boolean };
+```
+
+### isProduction
+
+```ts
+function isProduction(): boolean
+```
+
+`true` when `process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"`. Adapters use this to short-circuit to a null render.

+
+# @json-render/directives
+
+Pre-built custom directives for `@json-render/core`. Drop them into your catalog and renderer to add formatting, math, string manipulation, and i18n.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/directives
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { standardDirectives } from '@json-render/directives';
+
+// Wire into prompt generation
+const prompt = catalog.prompt({ directives: standardDirectives });
+
+// Wire into the renderer
+<JSONUIProvider spec={spec} directives={standardDirectives}>
+  ...
+</JSONUIProvider>
+```
+
+To add factory directives like `createI18nDirective`, spread the array:
+
+```typescript
+import { standardDirectives, createI18nDirective } from '@json-render/directives';
+
+const directives = [...standardDirectives, createI18nDirective(config)];
+```
+
+## Directives
+
+### `$format` — Locale-aware value formatting
+
+Formats values using `Intl` formatters. Supports `date`, `currency`, `number`, and `percent`.
+
+```json
+{ "$format": "currency", "value": { "$state": "/cart/total" }, "currency": "USD" }
+```
+
+```json
+{ "$format": "date", "value": { "$state": "/user/createdAt" } }
+```
+
+```json
+{ "$format": "number", "value": 1234567, "notation": "compact" }
+```
+
+```json
+{ "$format": "percent", "value": 0.75 }
+```
+
+Relative dates are also supported:
+
+```json
+{ "$format": "date", "value": { "$state": "/post/createdAt" }, "style": "relative" }
+```
+
+This returns strings like `"3h ago"`, `"2d from now"`, or `"just now"`.

+## Composition
+
+Directives compose naturally. Each resolver calls `resolvePropValue` on its inputs, so you can nest directives:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$format": "currency",
+  "value": { "$math": "multiply", "a": { "$state": "/price" }, "b": { "$state": "/qty" } },
+  "currency": "USD"

+  "one": "item",
+  "other": "items"

+
+## Providers
+
+### JSONUIProvider
+
+Convenience wrapper around all providers: `StateProvider` → `VisibilityProvider` → `ValidationProvider` → `ActionProvider` → `FocusProvider`.
+
+```tsx
+import { JSONUIProvider, Renderer } from "@json-render/ink";
+
+<JSONUIProvider initialState={{}} handlers={handlers}>
+  <Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />
+</JSONUIProvider>
+```
+
+### StateProvider
+
+```tsx
+<StateProvider initialState={object} onStateChange={fn}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr><th>Prop</th><th>Type</th><th>Description</th></tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr><td><code>store</code></td><td><code>StateStore</code></td><td>External store (controlled mode). When provided, <code>initialState</code> and <code>onStateChange</code> are ignored.</td></tr>
+<tr><td><code>initialState</code></td><td><code>Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;</code></td><td>Initial state model (uncontrolled mode).</td></tr>
+<tr><td><code>onStateChange</code></td><td><code>{'(changes: Array<{ path: string; value: unknown }>) => void'}</code></td><td>Callback when state changes (uncontrolled mode).</td></tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+#### External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+Pass a `StateStore` to bypass internal state and wire json-render to any state management:
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore } from "@json-render/ink";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+
+// Mutate from anywhere — components re-render automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+```
+
+The `store` prop is also available on `JSONUIProvider` and `createRenderer`.
+
+### ActionProvider
+
+```tsx
+<ActionProvider handlers={Record<string, ActionHandler>} navigate={fn}>
+  {children}
+</ActionProvider>
+```
+
+Built-in actions: `setState`, `pushState`, `removeState`, `log`, `exit`. Custom handlers override built-ins. Includes a terminal confirmation dialog (press Y/N) for actions with `confirm`.
+
+### VisibilityProvider
+
+```tsx
+<VisibilityProvider>
+  {children}
+</VisibilityProvider>
+```
+
+### ValidationProvider
+
+```tsx
+<ValidationProvider>
+  {children}
+</ValidationProvider>
+```
+
+### FocusProvider
+
+```tsx
+<FocusProvider>
+  {children}
+</FocusProvider>
+```
+
+Manages Tab-cycling focus between interactive components (TextInput, Select). Supports `useFocusDisable` to suppress cycling during modal dialogs.
+
+## defineRegistry
+
+Create a type-safe component registry. Standard components are built-in; only register custom components.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineRegistry, type Components } from "@json-render/ink";
+
+const { registry, handlers, executeAction } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    MyWidget: ({ props }) => <Text>{props.label}</Text>,
+  } as Components<typeof catalog>,
+  actions: {
+    submit: async (params, setState, state) => {
+      // custom action logic
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+`handlers` is designed for `JSONUIProvider`/`ActionProvider`. `executeAction` is an imperative helper.
+
+## createRenderer
+
+Higher-level helper that wraps `Renderer` + all providers into a single component.
+
+```tsx
+import { createRenderer } from "@json-render/ink";
+
+const UIRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
+
+<UIRenderer spec={spec} state={initialState} />;
+```
+
+## Hooks
+
+### useUIStream
+
+```typescript
+const {
+  spec,         // Spec | null - current UI state
+  isStreaming,  // boolean - true while streaming
+  error,        // Error | null
+  send,         // (prompt: string, context?: Record<string, unknown>) => Promise<void>
+  stop,         // () => void - abort the current stream
+  clear,        // () => void - reset spec and error
+} = useUIStream({
+  api: string,
+  onComplete?: (spec: Spec) => void,
+  onError?: (error: Error) => void,
+  fetch?: (url: string, init?: RequestInit) => Promise<Response>,
+  validate?: boolean,
+  maxRetries?: number,
+});
+```
+
+### useStateStore
+
+```typescript
+const { state, get, set, update } = useStateStore();
+```
+
+### useStateValue
+
+```typescript
+const value = useStateValue(path: string);
+```
+
+### useBoundProp
+
+```typescript
+const [value, setValue] = useBoundProp(resolvedValue, bindingPath);
+```
+
+### useActions
+
+```typescript
+const { execute } = useActions();
+```
+
+### useIsVisible
+
+```typescript
+const isVisible = useIsVisible(condition?: VisibilityCondition);
+```
+
+### useFocus
+
+```typescript
+const { isActive, id } = useFocus();
+```
+
+### useFocusDisable
+
+```typescript
+useFocusDisable(disabled: boolean);
+```
+
+Suppresses Tab-cycling while `disabled` is true (e.g., during a modal dialog).
+
+## Catalog Exports
+
+```typescript
+import { standardComponentDefinitions, standardActionDefinitions } from "@json-render/ink/catalog";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/ink/schema";
+```
+
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr><th>Export</th><th>Purpose</th></tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr><td><code>standardComponentDefinitions</code></td><td>Catalog definitions for all 19 standard components</td></tr>
+<tr><td><code>standardActionDefinitions</code></td><td>Catalog definitions for standard actions (setState, pushState, removeState, log, exit)</td></tr>
+<tr><td><code>schema</code></td><td>Ink element tree schema</td></tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+## Server Export
+
+```typescript
+import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions, standardActionDefinitions } from "@json-render/ink/server";
+```
+
+Re-exports the schema and catalog definitions for server-side usage (e.g., building system prompts).

+
+MCP Apps integration for json-render. Serve json-render UIs as interactive [MCP Apps](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/extensions/apps) inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP-capable clients.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/mcp @json-render/core @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
+```
+
+For the iframe-side React UI, also install:
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/react react react-dom
+```
+
+See the [MCP example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render/tree/main/examples/mcp) for a full working example.
+
+## Overview
+
+MCP Apps let MCP servers return interactive HTML UIs that render directly inside chat conversations. `@json-render/mcp` bridges json-render catalogs with the MCP Apps protocol:
+
+1. Your **catalog** defines which components and actions the AI can use
+2. The **MCP server** exposes the catalog as a tool with the spec schema
+3. The **bundled HTML** renders json-render specs inside the host's sandboxed iframe
+4. The AI generates a spec, the host renders it, and users interact with the live UI
+
+## Server API
+
+### createMcpApp

+
+### useJsonRenderApp
+
+React hook that connects to the MCP host, listens for tool results, and maintains the current json-render spec.

+
+# @json-render/react-email
+
+React Email renderer. Turn JSON specs into HTML or plain-text emails using `@react-email/components` and `@react-email/render`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/core @json-render/react-email @react-email/components @react-email/render
+```
+
+See the [React Email example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render/tree/main/examples/react-email) for a full working example.
+
+## schema
+
+The email element schema for specs. Use with `defineCatalog` from core.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from '@json-render/core';
+import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/react-email';
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: standardComponentDefinitions,
+});
+```
+
+## Render Functions
+
+Server-side functions for producing email output. All accept a spec and optional `RenderOptions`.
+
+```typescript
+import { renderToHtml, renderToPlainText } from '@json-render/react-email';
+
+const html = await renderToHtml(spec);
+
+const plainText = await renderToPlainText(spec);
+```
+
+### RenderOptions
+

+interface RenderOptions {
+  registry?: ComponentRegistry;
+  includeStandard?: boolean;  // default: true
+  state?: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+```

+      <td>Initial state for <code>$state</code> / <code>$cond</code> dynamic prop resolution</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+## defineRegistry
+
+Create a type-safe component registry from a catalog. Components receive `{ props, children, emit, bindings, loading }`.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineRegistry } from '@json-render/react-email';
+import { Container, Heading, Text } from '@react-email/components';
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: ({ props, children }) => (
+      <Container style={{ padding: 16, backgroundColor: '#fff' }}>
+        <Heading>{props.title}</Heading>
+        {children}
+      </Container>
+    ),
+  },
+});
+
+const html = await renderToHtml(spec, { registry });
+```
+
+## createRenderer
+
+Create a standalone renderer component wired to state, actions, and validation (for interactive previews in the browser).
+
+```typescript
+import { createRenderer } from '@json-render/react-email';
+
+const EmailRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
+```
+
+## Renderer
+
+The main component that renders a spec to React Email elements. Use inside `JSONUIProvider` when you need state, actions, or visibility.
+
+```typescript
+interface RendererProps {
+  spec: Spec | null;
+  registry?: ComponentRegistry;
+  includeStandard?: boolean;  // default: true
+  loading?: boolean;
+  fallback?: ComponentRenderer;

+
+#### External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+Pass a `StateStore` to bypass the internal state and wire json-render to any state management library:
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react-native";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+
+// Mutate from anywhere — components re-render automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+```
+
+The `store` prop is also available on `JSONUIProvider` and `createRenderer`.

+# @json-render/react-pdf
+
+PDF document renderer. Turn JSON specs into PDFs using `@react-pdf/renderer`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/core @json-render/react-pdf
+```
+
+See the [React PDF example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render/tree/main/examples/react-pdf) for a full working example.
+
+## schema
+
+The PDF element schema for document specs. Use with `defineCatalog` from core.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from '@json-render/core';
+import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: standardComponentDefinitions,
+});
+```
+
+## Render Functions
+
+Server-side functions for producing PDF output. All accept a spec and optional `RenderOptions`.
+
+```typescript
+import { renderToBuffer, renderToStream, renderToFile } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
+
+const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec);
+
+const stream = await renderToStream(spec);
+stream.pipe(res);
+
+await renderToFile(spec, './output.pdf');
+```
+
+### RenderOptions
+
+```typescript
+interface RenderOptions {
+  registry?: ComponentRegistry;
+  includeStandard?: boolean;  // default: true
+  state?: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+```
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Option</th>
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>registry</code></td>
+      <td>Custom component map (merged with standard components)</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>includeStandard</code></td>
+      <td>Include built-in standard components (default: <code>true</code>)</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>state</code></td>
+      <td>Initial state for <code>$state</code> / <code>$cond</code> dynamic prop resolution</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+## defineRegistry
+
+Create a type-safe component registry from a catalog. Components receive `{ props, children, emit, bindings, loading }`.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineRegistry } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
+import { View, Text } from '@react-pdf/renderer';
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Badge: ({ props }) => (
+      <View style={{ backgroundColor: props.color ?? '#e5e7eb', padding: 4, borderRadius: 4 }}>
+        <Text style={{ fontSize: 10 }}>{props.label}</Text>
+      </View>
+    ),
+  },
+});
+
+const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec, { registry });
+```
+
+## createRenderer
+
+Create a standalone renderer component wired to state, actions, and validation.
+
+```typescript
+import { createRenderer } from '@json-render/react-pdf';
+
+const PDFRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
+```
+
+```typescript
+interface CreateRendererProps {
+  spec: Spec | null;
+  store?: StateStore;
+  state?: Record<string, unknown>;
+  onAction?: (actionName: string, params?: Record<string, unknown>) => void;
+  onStateChange?: (changes: Array<{ path: string; value: unknown }>) => void;
+  loading?: boolean;
+  fallback?: ComponentRenderer;
+}
+```
+
+When `store` is provided, `state` and `onStateChange` are ignored (controlled mode).
+
+## Renderer
+
+The main component that renders a spec to `@react-pdf/renderer` elements.
+
+```typescript
+interface RendererProps {
+  spec: Spec | null;
+  registry?: ComponentRegistry;
+  includeStandard?: boolean;  // default: true
+  loading?: boolean;
+  fallback?: ComponentRenderer;
+}
+```

+
+## External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+Pass a `StateStore` to `StateProvider`, `JSONUIProvider`, or `createRenderer` for full control over state:
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react-pdf";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ invoice: { total: 100 } });
+store.set("/invoice/total", 200);
+```
+
+When `store` is provided, `initialState` / `state` and `onStateChange` are ignored.
+
+## Server-Safe Import
+
+Import schema and catalog definitions without pulling in React or `@react-pdf/renderer`:
+
+```typescript
+import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/react-pdf/server';
+```

+
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}

+
+Convenience wrapper that combines `StateProvider`, `VisibilityProvider`, `ValidationProvider`, and `ActionProvider`. Accepts all their props plus:

+
+The `functions` prop is also available on `createRenderer`.

 ### Component Props (via defineRegistry)
 
 ```tsx
 interface ComponentContext<P> {
   props: P;                                // Typed props from catalog
   children?: React.ReactNode;              // Rendered children (for slot components)
-  emit: (event: string) => void;           // Emit a named event
+  emit: (event: string) => void;           // Emit a named event (always defined)
+  on: (event: string) => EventHandle;      // Get event handle with metadata
   loading?: boolean;
   bindings?: Record<string, string>;       // State paths from $bindState/$bindItem expressions
 }
+
+interface EventHandle {
+  emit: () => void;              // Fire the event
+  shouldPreventDefault: boolean; // Whether any binding requested preventDefault
+  bound: boolean;                // Whether any handler is bound
+}
+```
+
+Use `emit("press")` for simple event firing. Use `on("click")` when you need to check metadata like `shouldPreventDefault`:
+
+```tsx
+Link: ({ props, on }) => {
+  const click = on("click");
+  return (
+    <a
+      href={props.href}
+      onClick={(e) => {
+        if (click.shouldPreventDefault) e.preventDefault();
+        click.emit();
+      }}
+    >
+      {props.label}
+    </a>
+  );
+},
+```
+
+### BaseComponentProps
+
+Catalog-agnostic base type for building reusable component libraries (e.g. `@json-render/shadcn`) that are not tied to a specific catalog:
+
+```typescript
+import type { BaseComponentProps } from "@json-render/react";
+
+const Card = ({ props, children }: BaseComponentProps<{ title?: string }>) => (
+  <div>{props.title}{children}</div>

 `ValidationConfig` is `{ checks?: ValidationCheck[], validateOn?: 'change' | 'blur' | 'submit' }`.
 
+### useOptionalValidation
+
+Non-throwing variant of `useValidation()`. Returns `null` when no `ValidationProvider` is present, instead of throwing. Useful in components that may or may not be rendered inside a validation context.
+
+```typescript
+const validation = useOptionalValidation();
+// ValidationContextValue | null
+```

 ### useBoundProp
 
 Two-way binding helper for `$bindState` / `$bindItem` expressions. Returns `[value, setValue]` where `setValue` writes back to the bound state path.

+## Usage
+
+Pick the components you need from the standard definitions:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
+import { shadcnComponentDefinitions } from "@json-render/shadcn/catalog";
+import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/react";

+    Heading: shadcnComponents.Heading,
+    Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
+    Input: shadcnComponents.Input,
+  },

+```
+
+State actions (`setState`, `pushState`, `removeState`) are built into the React schema and handled by `ActionProvider` automatically. You don't need to declare them in your catalog.
+
+## Extending with Custom Components
+
+Add custom components alongside standard ones:
+
+```typescript
+import { z } from "zod";
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: {
+    // Standard
+    Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,

+    Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
+
+    // Custom

+        value: z.string(),
+        trend: z.enum(["up", "down", "neutral"]).nullable(),
+      }),
+      description: "KPI metric display",

+  },
+  actions: {},

+  },
+  actions: {
+    submit: async (params, setState, state) => {
+      // custom action logic
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### Renderer
+
+```tsx
+<Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} loading={false} />
+```
+
+Renders a `Spec` tree using your registry.
+
+### createRenderer
+
+Build an app-level renderer from catalog + components:
+
+```tsx
+const AppRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, {
+  Card: (renderProps) => <div>{renderProps.children}</div>,
+});
+
+<AppRenderer spec={spec} state={{}} onAction={(name, params) => {}} />;
+```
+
+## Hooks
+
+- `useStateStore()`
+- `useStateValue(path)` - returns an accessor
+- `useStateBinding(path)` - returns `[Accessor<T | undefined>, setValue]`
+- `useVisibility()` / `useIsVisible(condition)`
+- `useActions()` / `useAction(binding)`
+- `useValidation()` / `useOptionalValidation()`
+- `useFieldValidation(path, config)` - returns accessor-backed `state`, `errors`, and `isValid`
+- `useBoundProp(value, bindingPath)`
+- `useUIStream(options)`
+- `useChatUI(options)`
+
+## Built-in Actions
+
+`ActionProvider` handles these built-in actions:
+
+- `setState`
+- `pushState`
+- `removeState`
+- `validateForm`
+
+## Component Props
+
+Registry components receive:
+
+```ts
+interface ComponentRenderProps<P = Record<string, unknown>> {
+  element: UIElement<string, P>;
+  children?: JSX.Element;
+  emit: (event: string) => void;
+  on: (event: string) => EventHandle;
+  bindings?: Record<string, string>;
+  loading?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+Use `emit("event")` to dispatch event bindings. Use `on("event")` to access `EventHandle` metadata (`bound`, `shouldPreventDefault`, `emit`).
+
+## Reactivity Notes
+
+- Keep changing reads in JSX expressions, `createMemo`, or `createEffect`.
+- Avoid props destructuring in component signatures when you need live updates.
+- `StateProvider` and other contexts expose getter-backed values so consumers read live signals.
+- `useStateValue`, `useStateBinding`, and `useFieldValidation` expose reactive accessors; call them as functions.

+# @json-render/svelte
+
+Svelte 5 components, providers, and helpers for rendering json-render specs.
+
+## Installation
+
+<PackageInstall packages="@json-render/core @json-render/svelte" />
+
+Peer dependencies: `svelte ^5.0.0` and `zod ^4.0.0`.
+
+<PackageInstall packages="svelte zod" />
+
+## Components
+
+### Renderer
+
+```svelte
+<Renderer
+  spec={spec}       // Spec | null
+  registry={registry}
+  loading={false}
+/>
+```
+
+Renders a spec with your component registry. If `spec` is `null`, it renders nothing.
+
+### JsonUIProvider
+
+Convenience wrapper around `StateProvider`, `VisibilityProvider`, `ValidationProvider`, and `ActionProvider`.
+
+```svelte
+<JsonUIProvider
+  initialState={{}}
+  handlers={handlers}
+  validationFunctions={validationFunctions}
+>
+  <Renderer {spec} {registry} />
+</JsonUIProvider>
+```
+
+## defineRegistry
+
+Create a typed component registry and action handlers from a catalog.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/svelte";
+
+const { registry, handlers, executeAction } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card,
+    Button,
+  },
+  actions: {
+    submit: async (params, setState, state) => {
+      // custom action logic
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+`handlers` is designed for `JsonUIProvider`/`ActionProvider`. `executeAction` is an imperative helper.
+
+## Component Props
+
+Registry components receive `BaseComponentProps<TProps>`:
+
+```typescript
+interface BaseComponentProps<TProps> {
+  props: TProps;
+  children?: Snippet;
+  emit: (event: string) => void;
+  bindings?: Record<string, string>;
+  loading?: boolean;
+}
+```
+
+Use `emit("eventName")` to trigger handlers declared in the spec `on` bindings.
+
+## Context Helpers
+
+Use these helpers inside Svelte components:
+
+- `getStateValue(path)` - read/write state via `.current`
+- `getBoundProp(() => value, () => bindingPath)` - write back resolved `$bindState` / `$bindItem` values
+- `isVisible(condition)` - evaluate visibility via `.current`
+- `getAction(name)` - read a registered action handler via `.current`
+- `getFieldValidation(ctx, path, config)` - get field validation state + actions
+
+For advanced usage, access full contexts:
+
+- `getStateContext()`
+- `getActionContext()`
+- `getVisibilityContext()`
+- `getValidationContext()`
+- `getOptionalValidationContext()`
+
+## Streaming
+
+### createUIStream
+
+```typescript
+const stream = createUIStream({
+  api: "/api/generate-ui",
+  onComplete: (spec) => console.log(spec),
+});
+
+await stream.send("Create a login form");
+
+console.log(stream.spec);
+console.log(stream.isStreaming);
+```
+
+### createChatUI
+
+```typescript
+const chat = createChatUI({ api: "/api/chat-ui" });
+await chat.send("Build a settings panel");
+console.log(chat.messages, chat.isStreaming);
+```
+
+## Schema Export
+
+Use `schema` from `@json-render/svelte` when defining catalogs for Svelte specs.

+
+Vue 3 components, providers, and composables.
+
+## Providers
+
+### StateProvider
+
+```vue
+<StateProvider :initial-state="object" :on-state-change="fn">
+  <!-- children -->
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+<table>
+  <thead>

+      <td><code>Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;</code></td>
+      <td>Initial state model (uncontrolled mode).</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td><code>onStateChange</code></td>
+      <td><code>{'(changes: Array<{ path: string; value: unknown }>) => void'}</code></td>
+      <td>Callback when state changes (uncontrolled mode). Called once per <code>set</code> or <code>update</code> with all changed entries.</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+#### External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+Pass a `StateStore` to bypass the internal state and wire json-render to any state management library:
+
+```typescript
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/vue";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+```
+
+```vue
+<StateProvider :store="store">
+  <!-- children -->
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Mutate from anywhere — Vue re-renders automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+```
+
+### ActionProvider
+
+```vue
+<ActionProvider :handlers="Record<string, ActionHandler>" :navigate="fn">
+  <!-- children -->
+</ActionProvider>
+
+// type ActionHandler = (params: Record<string, unknown>) => void | Promise<void>;
+```
+
+### VisibilityProvider
+
+```vue
+<VisibilityProvider>
+  <!-- children -->
+</VisibilityProvider>
+```
+
+`VisibilityProvider` reads state from the parent `StateProvider` automatically. Conditions in specs use the `VisibilityCondition` format with `$state` paths (e.g. `{ "$state": "/path" }`, `{ "$state": "/path", "eq": value }`). See [visibility](/docs/visibility) for the full syntax.
+
+### ValidationProvider
+
+```vue
+<ValidationProvider :custom-functions="Record<string, ValidationFunction>">
+  <!-- children -->
+</ValidationProvider>
+
+// type ValidationFunction = (value: unknown, args?: object) => boolean | Promise<boolean>;
+```
+
+## defineRegistry
+
+Create a type-safe component registry from a catalog. Components receive `props`, `children`, `emit`, `on`, and `loading` with catalog-inferred types.
+
+When the catalog declares actions, the `actions` field is required. When the catalog has no actions (e.g. `actions: {}`), the field is optional. When passing stubs, any `async () => {}` is sufficient.
+
+```typescript
+import { h } from "vue";
+import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/vue";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: ({ props, children }) =>
+      h("div", { class: "card" }, [h("h3", null, props.title), children]),
+    Button: ({ props, emit }) =>
+      h("button", { onClick: () => emit("press") }, props.label),
+  },
+  // Required when catalog declares actions:
+  actions: {
+    submit: async (params) => { /* ... */ },
+  },
+});
+
+// Pass to <Renderer>
+// <Renderer :spec="spec" :registry="registry" />
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### Renderer
+
+```vue
+<Renderer
+  :spec="Spec"           // The UI spec to render
+  :registry="Registry"   // Component registry (from defineRegistry)
+  :loading="boolean"     // Optional loading state
+  :fallback="Component"  // Optional fallback for unknown types
+/>
+```
+
+### Component Props (via defineRegistry)
+
+```typescript
+import type { VNode } from "vue";
+
+interface ComponentContext<P> {
+  props: P;                          // Typed props from catalog
+  children?: VNode | VNode[];        // Rendered children (for container components)
+  emit: (event: string) => void;     // Emit a named event (always defined)
+  on: (event: string) => EventHandle; // Get event handle with metadata
+  loading?: boolean;
+  bindings?: Record<string, string>; // State paths from $bindState/$bindItem expressions
+}
+
+interface EventHandle {
+  emit: () => void;              // Fire the event
+  shouldPreventDefault: boolean; // Whether any binding requested preventDefault
+  bound: boolean;                // Whether any handler is bound
+}
+```
+
+Use `emit("press")` for simple event firing. Use `on("click")` when you need metadata like `shouldPreventDefault`:
+
+```typescript
+Link: ({ props, on }) => {
+  const click = on("click");
+  return h("a", {
+    href: props.href,
+    onClick: (e: MouseEvent) => {
+      if (click.shouldPreventDefault) e.preventDefault();
+      click.emit();
+    },
+  }, props.label);
+},
+```
+
+### BaseComponentProps
+
+Catalog-agnostic base type for building reusable component libraries that are not tied to a specific catalog:
+
+```typescript
+import type { BaseComponentProps } from "@json-render/vue";
+
+const Card = ({ props, children }: BaseComponentProps<{ title?: string }>) =>
+  h("div", null, [props.title, children]);
+```
+
+## Composables
+
+### useStateStore
+
+```typescript
+const {
+  state,   // ShallowRef<StateModel> — access with state.value
+  get,     // (path: string) => unknown
+  set,     // (path: string, value: unknown) => void
+  update,  // (updates: Record<string, unknown>) => void
+} = useStateStore();
+```
+
+> **Note:** `state` is a `ShallowRef<StateModel>`, not a plain object. Use `state.value` to read the current state. This differs from the React renderer.
+
+### useStateValue
+
+```typescript
+const value = useStateValue(path: string); // ComputedRef<T | undefined>
+```
+
+Returns a `ComputedRef` that automatically updates when the state at `path` changes. Use `.value` to access the current value.
+
+### useStateBinding (deprecated)
+
+> **Deprecated.** Use `$bindState` expressions with `bindings` prop instead.
+
+```typescript
+const [value, setValue] = useStateBinding(path: string);
+// value: ComputedRef<T | undefined>
+// setValue: (value: T) => void
+```
+
+### useActions
+
+```typescript
+const { execute } = useActions();
+// execute(binding: ActionBinding) => Promise<void>
+```
+
+### useAction
+
+```typescript
+const { execute, isLoading } = useAction(binding: ActionBinding);
+// execute: () => Promise<void>
+// isLoading: ComputedRef<boolean>
+```
+
+### useIsVisible
+
+```typescript
+const isVisible = useIsVisible(condition?: VisibilityCondition);
+```
+
+### useFieldValidation
+
+```typescript
+const {
+  state,     // ComputedRef<FieldValidationState>
+  validate,  // () => ValidationResult
+  touch,     // () => void
+  clear,     // () => void
+  errors,    // ComputedRef<string[]>
+  isValid,   // ComputedRef<boolean>
+} = useFieldValidation(path: string, config?: ValidationConfig);
+```
+
+`ValidationConfig` is `{ checks?: ValidationCheck[], validateOn?: 'change' | 'blur' | 'submit' }`.

+## Streaming Parser
+
+### createYamlStreamCompiler
+
+Create a streaming YAML compiler that incrementally parses YAML text and emits JSON Patch operations by diffing each successful parse against the previous snapshot.
+
+```typescript
+function createYamlStreamCompiler<T>(
+  initial?: Partial<T>
+): YamlStreamCompiler<T>
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { createYamlStreamCompiler } from "@json-render/yaml";
+
+const compiler = createYamlStreamCompiler<Spec>();
+
+compiler.push("root: main\n");
+compiler.push("elements:\n  main:\n    type: Card\n");
+
+const { result, newPatches } = compiler.flush();
+```

 Notable changes and updates to json-render.
 
+## v0.19.0
+
+May 6, 2026
+
+### New: Custom Directives API
+
+`@json-render/core` now supports custom directives via `defineDirective`, letting you declare new JSON shapes (like `$format`, `$math`) that resolve to computed values at render time. Directives compose naturally -- nest `$format` over `$math` over `$state` and they resolve inside-out. All four renderers (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid) have built-in directive resolution.
+
+### New: `@json-render/directives`
+
+New package shipping seven ready-made directives: `$format` (date, currency, number, percent via `Intl`), `$math` (arithmetic and rounding), `$concat`, `$count`, `$truncate`, `$pluralize`, and `$join`. Also exports `createI18nDirective` for `$t` translation keys with interpolation, and `standardDirectives` for one-line registration.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/directives
+```
+
+```tsx
+import { standardDirectives } from "@json-render/directives";
+
+const catalog = createCatalog({
+  directives: standardDirectives,
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+See the [Directives guide](/docs/directives) and the [API reference](/docs/api/directives) for details.
+
+---
+
+## v0.18.0
+
+April 17, 2026
+
+### New: Devtools
+
+Five new packages for inspecting json-render apps in the browser:
+
+- `@json-render/devtools` -- framework-agnostic core
+- `@json-render/devtools-react`
+- `@json-render/devtools-vue`
+- `@json-render/devtools-svelte`
+- `@json-render/devtools-solid`
+
+Drop `<JsonRenderDevtools />` into your app to get a shadow-DOM-isolated panel with six tabs (Spec, State, Actions, Stream, Catalog, Pick), a DOM picker that maps clicked elements back to spec keys via `data-jr-key`, and a capped event store. Toggle with the floating button or `Cmd`/`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `J`. Tree-shakes to `null` in production.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/devtools-react
+```
+
+```tsx
+import { JsonRenderDevtools } from "@json-render/devtools-react";
+
+<JsonRenderDevtools />
+```
+
+See the [Devtools guide](/docs/devtools) and the [API reference](/docs/api/devtools) for details.
+
+### New: Devtools Example
+
+New `examples/devtools` Next.js demo showing the full devtools panel wired up to an AI chat endpoint and a component catalog.
+
+### New: Action Observer and Devtools Flag in Core
+
+`@json-render/core` now exposes an action observer and a devtools enablement flag that framework adapters use to mirror actions and stream events into the panel.
+
+### Fixed: Zod 4 Schema Formatting
+
+`formatZodType` now correctly handles `z.record()`, `z.default()`, and `z.literal()` types from Zod 4, which previously produced incorrect or empty output in generated prompts and schemas.
+
+---
+
+## v0.17.0
+
+April 10, 2026
+
+### New: Gaussian Splatting
+
+Added `GaussianSplat` component to `@json-render/react-three-fiber`, bringing the component count to 20. Composable with all existing R3F components (lights, controls, post-processing) via drei's Splat loader.
+
+### New: R3F Gaussian Splatting Example
+
+Demo app with five scenes: splat showroom, splat with primitives, multi-splat, post-processing effects, and animated floating splat.
+
+### New: Standalone gsplat Example
+
+Experimental demo app showcasing Gaussian Splatting with gsplat.js (no Three.js dependency), featuring scene selector, live JSON spec viewer, and progress indicator.
+
+### Improved: AI Output Quality
+
+Improved prompt output and schema generation for more reliable AI-generated specs.
+
+---
+
+## v0.16.0
+
+March 27, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/next`
+
+Next.js renderer that turns JSON specs into full Next.js applications with routes, layouts, SSR, metadata, data loaders, and static generation. Client and server entry points at `@json-render/next` and `@json-render/next/server`. Includes built-in `Link`, `Slot`, error boundary, loading, and not-found components.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/next
+```
+
+### New: `@json-render/shadcn-svelte`
+
+Pre-built shadcn-svelte components for json-render Svelte apps. 36 components built on Svelte 5 + Tailwind CSS with state binding, validation, and action support. Server-safe catalog at `@json-render/shadcn-svelte/catalog`.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/shadcn-svelte
+```
+
+### Improved: Release Process
+
+Switched from Changesets to a manual single-PR release workflow with changelog markers and automatic npm publish on version bump.
+
+---
+
+## v0.15.0
+
+March 23, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/ink`
+
+Terminal renderer for json-render. JSON becomes terminal UIs powered by [Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink). Stream AI-generated specs directly to the terminal with `useUIStream`.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/ink
+```
+
+### Improved: YAML Format Support in `buildUserPrompt`
+
+`buildUserPrompt` now accepts `format` and `serializer` options, enabling YAML as a wire format alongside JSON.
+
+---
+
+## v0.14.0
+
+March 13, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/yaml`
+
+YAML wire format for json-render. Includes streaming YAML parser, `yamlPrompt()` for system prompts, and AI SDK transform (`pipeYamlRender`) as a drop-in alternative to JSONL streaming. Supports four fence types: `yaml-spec`, `yaml-edit`, `yaml-patch`, and `diff`.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/yaml
+```
+
+### New: Universal Edit Modes
+
+Three strategies for multi-turn spec refinement in `@json-render/core`:
+
+- **Patch** -- RFC 6902 JSON Patch
+- **Merge** -- RFC 7396 Merge Patch
+- **Diff** -- Unified diff
+
+New `editModes` option on `buildUserPrompt()` and `PromptOptions`. New helpers: `deepMergeSpec()`, `diffToPatches()`, `buildEditUserPrompt()`, `buildEditInstructions()`, `isNonEmptySpec()`.
+
+### Improved: Playground
+
+Format toggle (JSONL / YAML), edit mode picker (patch / merge / diff), and token usage display with prompt caching stats.
+
+### Improved: Prompt Caching
+
+Generate API uses Anthropic ephemeral cache control for system prompts.
+
+---
+
+## v0.13.0
+
+March 12, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/solid`
+
+SolidJS renderer for json-render. JSON becomes Solid components with reactive rendering, schema export, and full catalog support.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/core @json-render/solid
+```
+
+### New: `@json-render/react-three-fiber`
+
+React Three Fiber renderer for json-render. JSON becomes 3D scenes with 19 built-in components for meshes, lights, models, environments, text, cameras, and controls.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/react-three-fiber
+```
+
+### Improved: Strict JSON Schema Mode
+
+`catalog.jsonSchema({ strict: true })` produces a JSON Schema subset compatible with LLM structured output APIs (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic). Ensures `additionalProperties: false` on every object and all properties listed in `required`.
+
+---
+
+## v0.12.1
+
+March 11, 2026
+
+### Changed: Generation Mode Renames
+
+Renamed generation modes from `"generate"` / `"chat"` to `"standalone"` / `"inline"`. The old names still work but emit a deprecation warning.
+
+### Fixed: MCP React Duplicate Module Error
+
+Resolved React duplicate module error (`useRef` returning null) in `@json-render/mcp` by adding `resolve.dedupe` Vite configuration. Added `./build-app-html` export entry point.
+
+---
+
+## v0.12.0
+
+March 6, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/svelte`
+
+Svelte 5 renderer with runes-based reactivity. Full support for data binding, visibility, actions, validation, watchers, streaming, and repeat scopes. Includes `defineRegistry`, `Renderer`, `schema`, composables, and context providers.

+```
+
+### New: `@json-render/react-email`
+
+React Email renderer for generating HTML and plain-text emails from JSON specs. 17 standard components (Html, Head, Body, Container, Section, Row, Column, Heading, Text, Link, Button, Image, Hr, Preview, Markdown). Server-side `renderToHtml` / `renderToPlainText` APIs.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/react-email

+```bash
+npm install @json-render/mcp
+```
+
+---
+
+## v0.11.0
+
+February 27, 2026

+npm install @json-render/image
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { renderToSvg, renderToPng } from "@json-render/image/render";
+import { standardComponentDefinitions } from "@json-render/image/catalog";
+
+const svg = await renderToSvg(spec, { width: 1200, height: 630 });
+const png = await renderToPng(spec, { width: 1200, height: 630 });
+```
+
+9 standard components: Frame, Box, Row, Column, Heading, Text, Image, Divider, Spacer. Server-safe import path at `@json-render/image/server`.
+
+---
+
+## v0.10.0
+
+February 25, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/vue`
+
+Vue 3 renderer for json-render with full feature parity with `@json-render/react`. Data binding, visibility conditions, actions, validation, repeat scopes, streaming, and external store support.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/core @json-render/vue
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { h } from "vue";
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/vue";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/vue/schema";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: ({ props, children }) =>
+      h("div", { class: "card" }, [h("h3", null, props.title), children]),
+    Button: ({ props, emit }) =>
+      h("button", { onClick: () => emit("press") }, props.label),
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Providers: `StateProvider`, `ActionProvider`, `VisibilityProvider`, `ValidationProvider`. Composables: `useStateStore`, `useStateValue`, `useActions`, `useAction`, `useIsVisible`, `useFieldValidation`, `useBoundProp`, `useUIStream`, `useChatUI`.
+
+See the [Vue API reference](/docs/api/vue) for details.
+
+### New: `@json-render/xstate`
+
+[XState Store](https://stately.ai/docs/xstate-store) (atom) adapter for json-render's `StateStore` interface. Wire an `@xstate/store` atom as the state backend for any renderer.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/xstate @xstate/store
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { createAtom } from "@xstate/store";
+import { xstateStoreStateStore } from "@json-render/xstate";
+
+const atom = createAtom({ count: 0 });
+const store = xstateStoreStateStore({ atom });
+```
+
+Requires `@xstate/store` v3+.
+
+### New: `$computed` and `$template` Expressions
+
+Two new prop expression types for dynamic values:
+
+- **`$template`** -- interpolate state values into strings: `{ "$template": "Hello, ${/user/name}!" }`
+- **`$computed`** -- call registered functions: `{ "$computed": "fullName", "args": { "first": { "$state": "/form/firstName" } } }`
+
+Register functions via the `functions` prop on `JSONUIProvider` or `createRenderer`. See [Computed Values](/docs/computed-values) for details.
+
+### New: State Watchers
+
+Elements can declare a `watch` field to trigger actions when state values change. Useful for cascading dependencies like country/city selects.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Select",
+  "props": { "value": { "$bindState": "/form/country" }, "options": ["US", "Canada"] },
+  "watch": {
+    "/form/country": { "action": "loadCities", "params": { "country": { "$state": "/form/country" } } }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`watch` is a top-level field on elements (sibling of type/props/children), not inside props. Watchers only fire on value changes, not on initial render. See [Watchers](/docs/watchers) for details.
+
+### New: Cross-Field Validation
+
+New built-in validation functions for cross-field comparisons:
+
+- `equalTo` -- alias for `matches` with clearer semantics
+- `lessThan` -- value must be less than another field
+- `greaterThan` -- value must be greater than another field
+- `requiredIf` -- required only when a condition field is truthy
+
+Validation check args now resolve through `resolvePropValue`, so `$state` expressions work consistently.
+
+### New: `validateForm` Action
+
+Built-in action (React) that validates all registered form fields at once and writes `{ valid, errors }` to state:
+
+```json
+{
+  "on": {
+    "press": [
+      { "action": "validateForm", "params": { "statePath": "/formResult" } },
+      { "action": "submitForm" }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Improved: shadcn/ui Validation
+
+All form components now support `checks` and `validateOn` props:
+- Checkbox, Radio, Switch added validation support
+- `validateOn` controls timing: `"change"` (default for Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch), `"blur"` (default for Input, Textarea), or `"submit"`
+
+### New Examples
+
+- **Vue example** -- standalone Vue 3 app with custom components
+- **Vite Renderers** -- side-by-side React and Vue renderers with shared catalog
+
+---
+
+## v0.9.1
+
+February 24, 2026
+
+### Fixed: Install failure due to private dependency
+
+`@json-render/react`, `@json-render/react-pdf`, and `@json-render/react-native` v0.9.0 failed to install because `@internal/react-state` (a private workspace package) was published as a dependency. The internal package is now bundled into each renderer at build time, so it no longer needs to be resolved from npm.
+
+---
+
+## v0.9.0
+
+February 24, 2026
+
+### New: External State Store
+
+The `StateStore` interface lets you plug in your own state management (Redux, Zustand, Jotai, XState, etc.) instead of the built-in internal store. Pass a `store` prop to `StateProvider`, `JSONUIProvider`, or `createRenderer` for controlled mode.
+
+- Added `StateStore` interface and `createStateStore()` factory to `@json-render/core`
+- `StateProvider`, `JSONUIProvider`, and `createRenderer` now accept an optional `store` prop
+- When `store` is provided, it becomes the single source of truth (`initialState`/`onStateChange` are ignored)
+- When `store` is omitted, everything works exactly as before (fully backward compatible)
+- Applied across all platform packages: react, react-native, react-pdf
+- Store utilities (`createStoreAdapter`, `immutableSetByPath`, `flattenToPointers`) available via `@json-render/core/store-utils` for building custom adapters
+
+New adapter packages: `@json-render/redux`, `@json-render/zustand`, `@json-render/jotai`.
+
+See the [Data Binding](/docs/data-binding#external-store-controlled-mode) guide for usage.
+
+### Changed: `onStateChange` signature updated (breaking)
+
+The `onStateChange` callback now receives a single array of changed entries instead of being called once per path. This makes batch updates via `update()` easier to handle:
+
+```ts
+// Before
+onStateChange?: (path: string, value: unknown) => void
+
+// After
+onStateChange?: (changes: Array<{ path: string; value: unknown }>) => void
+```
+
+The callback is only called when a `set()` or `update()` call actually changes the state. A `set()` call produces a single-element array; an `update()` call produces one array with all changed paths.
+
+### Fixed: Server-safe schema import
+
+`@json-render/react` barrel-imports React contexts that call `createContext`, which crashes in Next.js App Router API routes (RSC runtime strips `createContext`). All docs, examples, and skills now import `schema` from `@json-render/react/schema` instead of `@json-render/react`.
+
+For combined imports, split into separate `schema` (subpath) and client API (main entry) lines:
+
+```ts
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/react";
+```
+
+### Fixed: Chaining actions
+
+Fixed an issue where chaining multiple actions on the same event (e.g. `setState` followed by a custom action) did not execute all actions. Affected `@json-render/react`, `@json-render/react-native`, and `@json-render/react-pdf`.
+
+### Fixed: Zod array inner type resolution
+
+Fixed safely resolving the inner type for Zod arrays in schema introspection, preventing errors when catalog component props use `z.array()`.
+
+---
+
+## v0.8.0
+
+February 20, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/react-pdf`
+
+PDF renderer for json-render, powered by [`@react-pdf/renderer`](https://react-pdf.org/). Define catalogs and registries the same way as `@json-render/react`, but output PDF documents instead of web UI.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/core @json-render/react-pdf
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { renderToBuffer } from "@json-render/react-pdf";
+import type { Spec } from "@json-render/core";

+- `renderToStream(spec)` -- render to a readable stream (pipe to HTTP response)
+- `renderToFile(spec, path)` -- render directly to a file
+
+15 standard components covering document structure (Document, Page), layout (View, Row, Column), content (Heading, Text, Image, Link), data (Table, List), decorative (Divider, Spacer), and page-level (PageNumber).
+
+Supports custom catalogs with `defineRegistry`, server-safe imports via `@json-render/react-pdf/server`, and full context support (state, visibility, actions, validation, repeat scopes).

+
+## v0.7.0
+
+February 17, 2026
+
+### New: `@json-render/shadcn`
+
+Pre-built [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/) component library for json-render. 36 components built on Radix UI + Tailwind CSS, ready to use with `defineCatalog` and `defineRegistry`.
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/shadcn
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
+import { shadcnComponentDefinitions } from "@json-render/shadcn/catalog";
+import { defineRegistry } from "@json-render/react";
+import { shadcnComponents } from "@json-render/shadcn";
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,
+    Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
+    Input: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Input,
+  },
+  actions: {},
+});
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
+    Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
+    Input: shadcnComponents.Input,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Components include: layout (Card, Stack, Grid, Separator), navigation (Tabs, Accordion, Collapsible, Pagination), overlay (Dialog, Drawer, Tooltip, Popover, DropdownMenu), content (Heading, Text, Image, Avatar, Badge, Alert, Carousel, Table), feedback (Progress, Skeleton, Spinner), and input (Button, Link, Input, Textarea, Select, Checkbox, Radio, Switch, Slider, Toggle, ToggleGroup, ButtonGroup).
+
+See the [API reference](/docs/api/shadcn) for full details.
+
+### New: Event Handles (`on()`)
+
+Components now receive an `on(event)` function in addition to `emit(event)`. The `on()` function returns an `EventHandle` with metadata:
+
+- `emit()` -- fire the event
+- `shouldPreventDefault` -- whether any action binding requested `preventDefault`
+- `bound` -- whether any handler is bound to this event
+
+```tsx
+Link: ({ props, on }) => {
+  const click = on("click");
+  return (
+    <a href={props.href} onClick={(e) => {
+      if (click.shouldPreventDefault) e.preventDefault();
+      click.emit();
+    }}>{props.label}</a>
+  );
+},
+```
+
+### New: `BaseComponentProps`
+
+Catalog-agnostic base type for component render functions. Use when building reusable component libraries (like `@json-render/shadcn`) that are not tied to a specific catalog.
+
+```typescript
+import type { BaseComponentProps } from "@json-render/react";
+
+const Card = ({ props, children }: BaseComponentProps<{ title?: string }>) => (
+  <div>{props.title}{children}</div>
+);
+```
+
+### New: Built-in Actions in Schema
+
+Schemas can now declare `builtInActions` -- actions that are always available at runtime and automatically injected into prompts. The React schema declares `setState`, `pushState`, and `removeState` as built-in, so they appear in prompts without needing to be listed in catalog `actions`.
+
+### New: `preventDefault` on `ActionBinding`
+
+Action bindings now support a `preventDefault` boolean field, allowing the LLM to request that default browser behavior (e.g. navigation on links) be prevented.
+
+### Improved: Stream Transform Text Block Splitting
+
+`createJsonRenderTransform()` now properly splits text blocks around spec data by emitting `text-end`/`text-start` pairs. This ensures the AI SDK creates separate text parts, preserving correct interleaving of prose and UI in `message.parts`.
+
+### Improved: `defineRegistry` Actions Requirement
+
+`defineRegistry` now conditionally requires the `actions` field only when the catalog declares actions. Catalogs with no actions (e.g. `actions: {}`) no longer need to pass an empty actions object.

+# Computed Values
+
+Derive dynamic prop values using registered functions or string templates.
+
+## `$template` — String Interpolation
+
+Use `{ "$template": "..." }` to embed state values into a string. References use `${/path}` syntax where the path is a JSON Pointer:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Text",
+  "props": {
+    "text": { "$template": "Hello, ${/user/name}! You have ${/inbox/count} messages." }
+  },
+  "children": []
+}
+```
+
+If state is `{ "user": { "name": "Alice" }, "inbox": { "count": 3 } }`, the text renders as "Hello, Alice! You have 3 messages."
+
+Missing paths resolve to an empty string.
+
+## `$computed` — Registered Functions
+
+Use `{ "$computed": "<name>", "args": { ... } }` to call a named function registered in your catalog. Each arg can be a literal value or any prop expression (`$state`, `$item`, `$cond`, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Text",
+  "props": {
+    "text": {
+      "$computed": "fullName",
+      "args": {
+        "first": { "$state": "/form/firstName" },
+        "last": { "$state": "/form/lastName" }
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "children": []
+}
+```
+
+### Registering Functions
+
+Functions are registered in the catalog and provided at runtime.
+
+**Catalog definition (for AI prompt generation):**
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from '@json-render/core';
+import { schema } from '@json-render/react/schema';
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: { /* ... */ },
+  functions: {
+    fullName: {
+      description: 'Combines first and last name into a full name',
+    },
+    formatCurrency: {
+      description: 'Formats a number as currency',
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Runtime implementation:**
+
+```tsx
+import { JSONUIProvider } from '@json-render/react';
+
+const functions = {
+  fullName: (args) => `${args.first ?? ''} ${args.last ?? ''}`.trim(),
+  formatCurrency: (args) => {
+    const value = Number(args.value ?? 0);
+    return new Intl.NumberFormat('en-US', {
+      style: 'currency',
+      currency: (args.currency as string) ?? 'USD',
+    }).format(value);
+  },
+};
+
+<JSONUIProvider registry={registry} functions={functions}>
+  <Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />
+</JSONUIProvider>
+```
+
+### Using with `createRenderer`
+
+```tsx
+const MyRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
+
+<MyRenderer
+  spec={spec}
+  functions={functions}
+/>
+```
+
+## Combining Expressions
+
+`$computed` args can use any expression type. This example computes a total from repeat item fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$computed": "lineTotal",
+  "args": {
+    "price": { "$item": "price" },
+    "quantity": { "$item": "quantity" }
+  }
+}

+## External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+For advanced use cases, you can pass a `StateStore` to `StateProvider` to use your own state management (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.) instead of the built-in internal store:
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ user: { name: "Alice" } });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+
+// Mutate from anywhere — React re-renders automatically:
+store.set("/user/name", "Bob");
+```
+
+When `store` is provided, `initialState` and `onStateChange` are ignored. The store is the single source of truth. See the [React API reference](/docs/api/react#external-store-controlled-mode) for the full `StateStore` interface.

+# Devtools
+
+A drop-in inspector panel for any json-render app. See the spec tree, edit state inline, watch dispatched actions, follow stream patches live, browse your catalog, and pick DOM elements to map them back to spec keys.
+
+Production-safe: the component tree-shakes to a null render when `NODE_ENV === "production"`.
+
+## Install
+
+Pick the adapter that matches your renderer.
+
+### React
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/devtools @json-render/devtools-react
+```
+
+### Vue
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/devtools @json-render/devtools-vue
+```
+
+### Svelte
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/devtools @json-render/devtools-svelte
+```
+
+### Solid
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/devtools @json-render/devtools-solid
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Drop `<JsonRenderDevtools />` anywhere inside your existing `<JSONUIProvider>` (or the equivalent provider tree).
+
+```tsx
+// React
+import { JsonRenderDevtools } from "@json-render/devtools-react";
+
+<JSONUIProvider registry={registry} handlers={handlers}>
+  <Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />
+  <JsonRenderDevtools spec={spec} catalog={catalog} />
+</JSONUIProvider>
+```
+
+That's it. A floating toggle appears in the bottom-right corner. Click it, or press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>J</kbd>, to open the drawer.
+
+### Chat apps (AI SDK)
+
+When you're using `@ai-sdk/react`'s `useChat`, pass the `messages` prop so the Stream tab captures spec patches as they arrive:
+
+```tsx
+<JsonRenderDevtools
+  spec={spec}
+  catalog={catalog}
+  messages={messages}
+/>
+```

+
+## Production Safety
+
+The component renders `null` when `process.env.NODE_ENV === "production"`. Bundlers fold the constant check so the panel's code tree-shakes out of production builds.
+
+If you want extra certainty, gate the import behind an env check:
+
+```tsx
+import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
+
+const JsonRenderDevtools = dynamic(
+  () =>
+    import("@json-render/devtools-react").then((m) => ({
+      default: m.JsonRenderDevtools,
+    })),
+  { ssr: false, loading: () => null },
+);
+```
+
+## Advanced
+
+### Imperative controls
+
+Use `useJsonRenderDevtools()` (React adapter only) to open / close the panel or record custom events from anywhere in the app:
+
+```tsx
+import { useJsonRenderDevtools } from "@json-render/devtools-react";
+
+function DebugButton() {
+  const devtools = useJsonRenderDevtools();
+  return (
+    <button onClick={() => devtools?.toggle()}>Toggle devtools</button>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Server-side stream tap
+
+Capture stream events before they reach the client. Useful for server logs:
+
+```ts
+import { tapJsonRenderStream } from "@json-render/devtools";
+
+const tapped = tapJsonRenderStream(
+  result.toUIMessageStream(),
+  serverEventStore,
+);
+writer.merge(pipeJsonRender(tapped));
+```
+
+The `@json-render/devtools` core package exports `tapJsonRenderStream` and `tapYamlStream` for this pattern.

+
+# Directives
+
+Extend the spec language with custom `$`-prefixed dynamic values. Directives let you add formatting, math, string manipulation, i18n, and any other transformation without modifying core.
+
+## Overview
+
+A directive is a user-defined dynamic value expression, like `$state` or `$computed`, but defined in userland. Each directive has a `$`-prefixed name, a Zod schema for validation, and a resolver function.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Text",
+  "props": {
+    "text": {
+      "$format": "currency",
+      "value": { "$state": "/cart/total" },
+      "currency": "USD"
+    }
+  },
+  "children": []
+}
+```
+
+## Defining a Directive
+
+Use `defineDirective` from `@json-render/core`:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineDirective, resolvePropValue } from '@json-render/core';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const doubleDirective = defineDirective({
+  name: '$double',
+  description: 'Double a numeric value.',
+  schema: z.object({
+    $double: z.unknown(),
+  }),
+  resolve(value, ctx) {
+    const resolved = resolvePropValue(value.$double, ctx);
+    return (resolved as number) * 2;
+  },
+});
+```
+
+The `description` field is optional. When generating prompts, the directive's schema fields are auto-described from the Zod schema; the `description` adds short behavioral context the schema can't express.
+
+## Wiring Directives
+
+Pass directives to both the renderer (for runtime resolution) and the catalog prompt (for AI generation).
+
+### Runtime
+
+```tsx
+import { JSONUIProvider, Renderer } from '@json-render/react';
+import { standardDirectives } from '@json-render/directives';
+
+<JSONUIProvider registry={registry} directives={standardDirectives}>
+  <Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />
+</JSONUIProvider>
+```
+
+Or with `createRenderer`:
+
+```tsx
+const MyRenderer = createRenderer(catalog, components);
+
+<MyRenderer spec={spec} directives={directives} />
+```
+
+All four renderers (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid) accept the `directives` prop on their provider and `createRenderer` output.
+
+### Prompt Generation
+
+```typescript
+const prompt = catalog.prompt({ directives });
+```
+
+Each directive's schema is auto-described in the "CUSTOM DYNAMIC VALUES" section of the system prompt. The optional `description` field adds behavioral context inline.
+
+## Pre-built Directives
+
+The `@json-render/directives` package ships ready-to-use directives:
+
+```typescript
+import { standardDirectives, createI18nDirective } from '@json-render/directives';
+```
+
+`standardDirectives` includes `$format`, `$math`, `$concat`, `$count`, `$truncate`, `$pluralize`, and `$join`. Add factory directives by spreading:
+
+```typescript
+const directives = [...standardDirectives, createI18nDirective(config)];
+```
+
+See the [API reference](/docs/api/directives) for details on each directive.
+
+## Composition
+
+Directives compose naturally. Each resolver calls `resolvePropValue` on its inputs, so directives can wrap other directives or built-in expressions like `$state`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$format": "currency",

+
+## React
+
+Render specs as React component trees in the browser. Supports data binding, streaming, actions, validation, visibility, and computed values.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/react";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, { components });
+<Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />;
+```
+
+Use `StateProvider`, `VisibilityProvider`, and `ActionProvider` for full interactivity. See the [@json-render/react API reference](/docs/api/react) for details.
+
+## Vue
+
+Vue 3 renderer with full feature parity with React: data binding, visibility, actions, validation, repeat scopes, and streaming.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/vue";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/vue/schema";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: ({ props, children }) =>
+      h("div", { class: "card" }, [h("h3", null, props.title), children]),
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Uses composables (`useStateStore`, `useStateBinding`, `useActions`, etc.) instead of React hooks. See the [@json-render/vue API reference](/docs/api/vue) for details.
+
+## Svelte
+
+Svelte 5 renderer with runes-compatible context helpers, visibility conditions, actions, and streaming support.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/svelte";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/svelte/schema";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: ({ props, children }) => /* Svelte snippet */,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+See the [@json-render/svelte API reference](/docs/api/svelte) for details.
+
+## Solid
+
+SolidJS renderer with fine-grained reactivity, state bindings, validation, visibility, and event-driven actions.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/solid";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/solid/schema";
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: (renderProps) => <div>{renderProps.children}</div>,
+  },
+});
+
+<Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />;
+```
+
+See the [@json-render/solid API reference](/docs/api/solid) for details.
+
+## shadcn/ui
+
+36 pre-built components using Radix UI and Tailwind CSS. Built on top of `@json-render/react` -- no custom renderer needed.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react/schema";
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/react";
+import { shadcnComponentDefinitions } from "@json-render/shadcn/catalog";
+import { shadcnComponents } from "@json-render/shadcn";
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,
+    Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
+  },
+});
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
+    Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+See the [@json-render/shadcn API reference](/docs/api/shadcn) for the full component list.
+
+## React Native
+
+Render specs as native mobile views. Includes 25+ standard components and standard action definitions.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/react-native/schema";
+import {
+  standardComponentDefinitions,
+  standardActionDefinitions,
+} from "@json-render/react-native/catalog";
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/react-native";
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: { ...standardComponentDefinitions },
+  actions: standardActionDefinitions,
+});
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, { components: {} });
+<Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />;
+```
+
+See the [@json-render/react-native API reference](/docs/api/react-native) for details.
+
+## Image

+```typescript
+import { renderToSvg, renderToPng } from "@json-render/image/render";
+
+const svg = await renderToSvg(spec, { fonts });
+const png = await renderToPng(spec, { fonts });
+```
+
+Nine standard components: Frame, Box, Row, Column, Heading, Text, Image, Divider, Spacer. PNG output requires `@resvg/resvg-js` as an optional peer dependency.
+
+See the [@json-render/image API reference](/docs/api/image) for details.
+
+## React PDF
+
+Generate PDF documents from JSON specs using `@react-pdf/renderer`. Render to buffer, stream, or file.
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  renderToBuffer,
+  renderToStream,
+  renderToFile,
+} from "@json-render/react-pdf";
+
+const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec);
+const stream = await renderToStream(spec);
+await renderToFile(spec, "./output.pdf");
+```
+
+Standard components include Document, Page, View, Row, Column, Heading, Text, Image, Table, List, Divider, Spacer, Link, and PageNumber.
+
+See the [@json-render/react-pdf API reference](/docs/api/react-pdf) for details.
+
+## Remotion
+
+Turn JSON timeline specs into video compositions with Remotion.
+
+```tsx
+import { Player } from "@remotion/player";
+import { Renderer } from "@json-render/remotion";
+
+<Player
+  component={Renderer}
+  inputProps={{ spec }}
+  durationInFrames={spec.composition.durationInFrames}
+  fps={spec.composition.fps}
+  compositionWidth={spec.composition.width}
+  compositionHeight={spec.composition.height}
+/>;
+```
+
+Uses a timeline spec format with compositions, tracks, and clips. Includes standard components (TitleCard, TypingText, ImageSlide, etc.), transitions (fade, slide, zoom, wipe), and effects.
+
+See the [@json-render/remotion API reference](/docs/api/remotion) for details.
+
+## Ink (Terminal)
+
+Render specs as terminal UIs using [Ink](https://github.com/vadimdemedes/ink). Multiple standard components including tables, progress bars, spinners, tabs, multi-select, and interactive inputs with Tab-cycling focus.
+
+```tsx
+import { defineCatalog } from "@json-render/core";
+import { schema } from "@json-render/ink/schema";
+import {
+  standardComponentDefinitions,
+  standardActionDefinitions,
+} from "@json-render/ink/catalog";
+import { defineRegistry, Renderer } from "@json-render/ink";
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: { ...standardComponentDefinitions },
+  actions: standardActionDefinitions,
+});
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, { components: {} });
+<Renderer spec={spec} registry={registry} />;
+```
+
+See the [@json-render/ink API reference](/docs/api/ink) for details.

+## Cross-Field Validation
+
+Validation args support `{ "$state": "/path" }` references to compare against other fields. This enables cross-field rules like "confirm password must match password":
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Input",
+  "props": {
+    "label": "Confirm Password",
+    "value": { "$bindState": "/form/confirmPassword" },
+    "checks": [
+      { "type": "required", "message": "Please confirm your password" },
+      {
+        "type": "matches",
+        "args": { "other": { "$state": "/form/password" } },
+        "message": "Passwords must match"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Other cross-field examples:
+
+```json
+{
+  "checks": [
+    {
+      "type": "greaterThan",
+      "args": { "other": { "$state": "/form/startDate" } },
+      "message": "End date must be after start date"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "checks": [
+    {
+      "type": "requiredIf",
+      "args": { "field": { "$state": "/form/enableNotifications" } },
+      "message": "Email is required when notifications are enabled"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Conditional Validation
+
+Use the `enabled` field in the validation config to only run checks when a condition is met:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Input",
+  "props": {
+    "label": "Company Name",
+    "value": { "$bindState": "/form/company" },
+    "checks": [
+      { "type": "required", "message": "Company name is required" }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In the component implementation, you can pass `enabled` to `useFieldValidation`:
+
+```typescript
+useFieldValidation(bindings?.value ?? "", {
+  checks: props.checks ?? [],
+  enabled: { "$state": "/form/accountType", eq: "business" },
+});
+```
+
+This only validates the company name when the account type is "business".
+
 ## Validation Timing
 
 Control when validation runs with `validateOn`:
 
 - `change` — Validate on every input change
-- `blur` — Validate when field loses focus
+- `blur` — Validate when field loses focus (default for Input, Textarea)
 - `submit` — Validate only on form submission
 
+## Form-Level Validation
+
+Use the built-in `validateForm` action to validate all registered fields at once. This is useful for a "Submit" button that should validate the entire form before proceeding:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Button",
+  "props": { "label": "Submit" },
+  "on": {
+    "press": [
+      { "action": "validateForm", "params": { "statePath": "/formResult" } },
+      { "action": "submitForm" }
+    ]
+  },
+  "children": []
+}
+```
+
+The `validateForm` action runs `validateAll()` and writes `{ valid: boolean }` to the specified state path (defaults to `/formValidation`). Your submit handler can then check `{ "$state": "/formResult/valid" }` to decide whether to proceed.
+
+> **Note:** Actions in a list execute sequentially, but `submitForm` does not automatically gate on validation. Guard submission with a `$cond` visibility condition on the button or check `{ "$state": "/formResult/valid" }` inside your action handler to skip submission when the form is invalid.

 This shows the divider for every item except the first (index 0).
 
+### Filtered lists — `$item` on the repeat container
+
+Putting an `$item` condition directly on the element that declares `repeat` filters which items render. This is the natural way to build kanban columns, tabbed lists, or status sections from one state array:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Stack",
+  "repeat": { "statePath": "/tasks", "key": "id" },
+  "visible": { "$item": "status", "eq": "todo" },
+  "children": ["task-card"]
+}
+```
+
+One child renders per matching item; non-matching items are skipped. When the condition is an `$and` (or array) that mixes scopes, the `$state` parts gate the container itself (a false gate hides the whole shell) while the `$item`/`$index` parts filter items. A mixed `$or` cannot be split and is applied entirely per item.
+
+Filtered lists are currently implemented by the React renderer; other renderers evaluate the container condition outside the repeat scope.
+
+
 `$item` and `$index` conditions support the same comparison operators as `$state` (`eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `not`).

+React to state changes by triggering actions when watched paths update.
+
+## The `watch` Field
+
+Elements can have an optional `watch` field that maps state paths to action bindings. When the value at a watched path changes, the bound actions fire automatically.
+
+`watch` is a **top-level field** on the element (sibling of `type`, `props`, `children`) — not inside `props`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "Select",
+  "props": {
+    "label": "Country",
+    "value": { "$bindState": "/form/country" },
+    "options": ["US", "Canada", "UK"]
+  },
+  "watch": {
+    "/form/country": {
+      "action": "loadCities",
+      "params": { "country": { "$state": "/form/country" } }
+    }
+  },
+  "children": []
+}
+```
+
+When the user selects a different country, the `loadCities` action fires with the new country value. The action handler can fetch city data and update state, causing a dependent city Select to re-render with new options.
+
+## Cascading Selects
+
+A common pattern is cascading dropdowns where selecting a value in one field loads options for another:
+
+```json
+{
+  "root": "form",
+  "elements": {
+    "form": {
+      "type": "Stack",
+      "props": { "direction": "vertical", "gap": "md" },
+      "children": ["country-select", "city-select"]
+    },
+    "country-select": {
+      "type": "Select",
+      "props": {
+        "label": "Country",
+        "value": { "$bindState": "/form/country" },
+        "options": ["US", "Canada", "UK"]
+      },
+      "watch": {
+        "/form/country": [
+          { "action": "loadCities", "params": { "country": { "$state": "/form/country" } } },
+          { "action": "setState", "params": { "statePath": "/form/city", "value": "" } }
+        ]
+      },
+      "children": []
+    },
+    "city-select": {
+      "type": "Select",
+      "props": {
+        "label": "City",
+        "value": { "$bindState": "/form/city" },
+        "options": { "$state": "/availableCities" },
+        "placeholder": "Select a city"
+      },
+      "children": []
+    }
+  },
+  "state": {
+    "form": { "country": "", "city": "" },
+    "availableCities": []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The watcher on `country-select` fires two actions when the country changes:
+1. `loadCities` — fetches and writes city options to `/availableCities`
+2. `setState` — resets the city selection
+
+The city Select reads its options from `{ "$state": "/availableCities" }`, so it automatically updates when the data is loaded.
+
+### Action Handler
+
+```typescript
+const handlers = {
+  loadCities: async (params) => {
+    const cities = await fetchCities(params.country);
+    // setState is called by the runtime to write the result
+    return cities;
+  },
+};
+```
+
+Or with `defineRegistry`:
+
+```typescript
+const { registry, handlers } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: { /* ... */ },
+  actions: {
+    loadCities: async (params, setState) => {
+      const response = await fetch(`/api/cities?country=${params.country}`);
+      const cities = await response.json();
+      setState('/availableCities', cities);
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+## Multiple Watchers
+
+An element can watch multiple state paths. Each path maps to one or more action bindings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "watch": {
+    "/form/startDate": { "action": "validateDateRange" },
+    "/form/endDate": { "action": "validateDateRange" },
+    "/form/quantity": [
+      { "action": "recalculateTotal" },
+      { "action": "checkInventory", "params": { "qty": { "$state": "/form/quantity" } } }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Behavior
+
+- Watchers only fire on **value changes**, not on the initial render
+- Comparison is by reference (`===`), not deep equality
+- Action params support the same expressions as event bindings (`$state`, `$item`, `$index`)
+- Multiple action bindings on the same path execute sequentially
+
+## When to Use `watch` vs `on`
+
+<table>
+<thead>
+<tr>
+<th>Mechanism</th>
+<th>Trigger</th>
+<th>Use Case</th>
+</tr>
+</thead>
+<tbody>
+<tr>
+<td><code>on</code></td>
+<td>User interaction (press, change, blur)</td>
+<td>Button clicks, input changes, form submissions</td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+<td><code>watch</code></td>
+<td>State value change (any source)</td>
+<td>Cascading data, derived state, cross-field sync</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>
+</table>
+
+Use `on` when reacting to direct user actions. Use `watch` when a state change (from any source — user input, action handler, or external store update) should trigger side effects.
