fix dashboard build

Introduces a `StateStore` interface that lets users plug in their own state management (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.) instead of being locked into the internal `useState`-based store.

- Added `StateStore` interface and `createStateStore()` factory to `@json-render/core`
- `StateProvider`, `JSONUIProvider`, and `createRenderer` now accept an optional `store` prop for controlled mode
- 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

+### 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.
+
+New adapter packages: `@json-render/redux`, `@json-render/zustand`, `@json-render/jotai`.
+
+### 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.
+
 ### 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.

+## 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.

+| `StateStore` | Interface for plugging in external state management (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.) |
+| `StateModel` | State model type (`Record<string, unknown>`) |
+
+The `StateStore` interface allows renderers to use external state management instead of the built-in internal store:
+
+```typescript
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/core";
+
+// Simple in-memory store
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+store.get("/count");          // 0
+store.set("/count", 1);       // updates and notifies subscribers
+store.getSnapshot();          // { count: 1 }
+
+// Subscribe to changes (compatible with React's useSyncExternalStore)
+const unsubscribe = store.subscribe(() => {
+  console.log("state changed:", store.getSnapshot());
+});
+```
+
+Pass the store to `StateProvider` in any renderer package (`@json-render/react`, `@json-render/react-native`, `@json-render/react-pdf`) for controlled mode.

+| `createStoreAdapter(config)` | Build a full `StateStore` from a minimal `{ getSnapshot, setSnapshot, subscribe }` config |
+| `immutableSetByPath(root, path, value)` | Immutably set a value at a JSON Pointer path with structural sharing |
+| `flattenToPointers(obj)` | Flatten a nested object into JSON Pointer keyed entries |
+| `StoreAdapterConfig` | Config type for `createStoreAdapter` |
+
+```typescript
+import { createStoreAdapter, immutableSetByPath, flattenToPointers } from "@json-render/core/store-utils";
+```
+
+`createStoreAdapter` handles `get`, `set` (with no-op detection), batched `update`, `getSnapshot`, `getServerSnapshot`, and `subscribe` -- adapter authors only need to supply the snapshot source, write API, and subscribe mechanism:
+
+```typescript
+import { createStoreAdapter } from "@json-render/core/store-utils";
+
+const store = createStoreAdapter({
+  getSnapshot: () => myLib.getState(),
+  setSnapshot: (next) => myLib.setState(next),
+  subscribe: (listener) => myLib.subscribe(listener),
+});
+```
+
+The official adapter packages (`@json-render/redux`, `@json-render/zustand`, `@json-render/jotai`) are all built on top of `createStoreAdapter`.

+# @json-render/jotai
+
+Jotai adapter for json-render's `StateStore` interface. Wire a Jotai atom as the state backend for json-render.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/jotai @json-render/core @json-render/react jotai
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { atom } from "jotai";
+import { jotaiStateStore } from "@json-render/jotai";
+import { StateProvider } from "@json-render/react";
+
+// 1. Create an atom that holds the json-render state
+const uiAtom = atom<Record<string, unknown>>({ count: 0 });
+
+// 2. Create the json-render StateStore adapter
+const store = jotaiStateStore({ atom: uiAtom });
+
+// 3. Use it
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {/* json-render reads/writes go through Jotai */}
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+### With a shared Jotai store
+
+If your app already uses a Jotai `<Provider>` with a custom store, pass it so both json-render and your components share the same state:
+
+```ts
+import { atom, createStore } from "jotai";
+import { Provider as JotaiProvider } from "jotai/react";
+import { jotaiStateStore } from "@json-render/jotai";
+import { StateProvider } from "@json-render/react";
+
+const jStore = createStore();
+const uiAtom = atom<Record<string, unknown>>({ count: 0 });
+
+const store = jotaiStateStore({ atom: uiAtom, store: jStore });
+
+<JotaiProvider store={jStore}>
+  <StateProvider store={store}>
+    {/* Both json-render and useAtom() see the same state */}
+  </StateProvider>
+</JotaiProvider>
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `jotaiStateStore(options)`
+
+Creates a `StateStore` backed by a Jotai atom.
+
+#### Options
+
+| Option | Type | Required | Description |
+|--------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `atom` | `WritableAtom<StateModel, [StateModel], void>` | Yes | A writable atom holding the state model |
+| `store` | Jotai `Store` | No | The Jotai store instance. Defaults to a new store created internally. Pass your own to share state with `<Provider>`. |

+## External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+For full control over state, pass a `StateStore` to bypass the internal state and wire json-render to any state management library (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.):
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react-native";
+
+// Use the built-in store outside of React
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+
+// Mutate from anywhere — React will re-render automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+```
+
+When `store` is provided, `initialState` and `onStateChange` are ignored. The store is the single source of truth. The same `store` prop is available on `createRenderer`, `JSONUIProvider`, and `StateProvider`.

+#### External Store (Controlled Mode)
+
+For full control over state, pass a `StateStore` to bypass the internal state and wire json-render to any state management library (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.):
+
+```tsx
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/react";
+
+// Option 1: Use the built-in store outside of React
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {children}
+</StateProvider>
+
+// Mutate from anywhere — React will re-render automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+
+// Option 2: Implement the StateStore interface with your own backend
+const zustandStore: StateStore = {
+  get: (path) => getByPath(useStore.getState(), path),
+  set: (path, value) => useStore.setState(prev => { /* ... */ }),
+  update: (updates) => useStore.setState(prev => { /* ... */ }),
+  getSnapshot: () => useStore.getState(),
+  subscribe: (listener) => useStore.subscribe(listener),
+};
+```
+
+When `store` is provided, `initialState` and `onStateChange` are ignored. The store is the single source of truth. The same `store` prop is available on `createRenderer`, `JSONUIProvider`, and `StateProvider`.

+# @json-render/redux
+
+Redux adapter for json-render's `StateStore` interface. Wire a Redux store (or Redux Toolkit slice) as the state backend for json-render.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/redux @json-render/core @json-render/react redux
+# or with Redux Toolkit (recommended):
+npm install @json-render/redux @json-render/core @json-render/react @reduxjs/toolkit
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { configureStore, createSlice } from "@reduxjs/toolkit";
+import { reduxStateStore } from "@json-render/redux";
+import { StateProvider } from "@json-render/react";
+
+// 1. Define a slice for json-render state
+const uiSlice = createSlice({
+  name: "ui",
+  initialState: { count: 0 } as Record<string, unknown>,
+  reducers: {
+    replaceUiState: (_state, action) => action.payload,
+  },
+});
+
+// 2. Create the Redux store
+const reduxStore = configureStore({
+  reducer: { ui: uiSlice.reducer },
+});
+
+// 3. Create the json-render StateStore adapter
+const store = reduxStateStore({
+  store: reduxStore,
+  selector: (state) => state.ui,
+  dispatch: (next, s) => s.dispatch(uiSlice.actions.replaceUiState(next)),
+});
+
+// 4. Use it
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {/* json-render reads/writes go through Redux */}
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `reduxStateStore(options)`
+
+Creates a `StateStore` backed by a Redux store.
+
+#### Options
+
+| Option | Type | Required | Description |
+|--------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `store` | `Store` | Yes | The Redux store instance |
+| `selector` | `(state) => StateModel` | Yes | Select the json-render slice from the Redux state tree. For a simple store where the entire state is the model, use `(s) => s`. |
+| `dispatch` | `(nextState, store) => void` | Yes | Dispatch an action that replaces the selected slice with the next state |
+
+The `dispatch` callback receives the full next state model and the Redux store, so you can dispatch any action shape your reducers expect.

+# @json-render/zustand
+
+Zustand adapter for json-render's `StateStore` interface. Wire a Zustand vanilla store as the state backend for json-render.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @json-render/zustand @json-render/core @json-render/react zustand
+```
+
+> **Note:** This adapter requires Zustand v5+. Zustand v4 is not supported due to
+> breaking API changes in the vanilla store interface (`createStore`, `StoreApi`).
+
+## Usage
+
+```ts
+import { createStore } from "zustand/vanilla";
+import { zustandStateStore } from "@json-render/zustand";
+import { StateProvider } from "@json-render/react";
+
+// 1. Create a Zustand vanilla store
+const bearStore = createStore(() => ({
+  count: 0,
+  name: "Bear",
+}));
+
+// 2. Create the json-render StateStore adapter
+const store = zustandStateStore({ store: bearStore });
+
+// 3. Use it
+<StateProvider store={store}>
+  {/* json-render reads/writes go through Zustand */}
+</StateProvider>
+```
+
+### With a nested slice
+
+```ts
+const appStore = createStore(() => ({
+  ui: { count: 0 },
+  auth: { token: null },
+}));
+
+const store = zustandStateStore({
+  store: appStore,
+  selector: (s) => s.ui,
+  updater: (next, s) => s.setState({ ui: next }),
+});
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `zustandStateStore(options)`
+
+Creates a `StateStore` backed by a Zustand store.
+
+#### Options
+
+| Option | Type | Required | Description |
+|--------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `store` | `StoreApi<S>` | Yes | A Zustand vanilla store (from `createStore` in `zustand/vanilla`) |
+| `selector` | `(state) => StateModel` | No | Select the json-render slice from the store state. Defaults to the entire state. |
+| `updater` | `(nextState, store) => void` | No | Apply the next state back to the Zustand store. Defaults to a shallow merge so that keys outside the json-render model are preserved. Override for nested slices, or pass `(next, s) => s.setState(next, true)` for full replacement. |

+## StateStore
+
+The `StateStore` interface allows external state management libraries (Redux, Zustand, XState, etc.) to be plugged into json-render renderers. The `createStateStore` factory creates a simple in-memory implementation:
+
+```typescript
+import { createStateStore, type StateStore } from "@json-render/core";
+
+const store = createStateStore({ count: 0 });
+
+store.get("/count");         // 0
+store.set("/count", 1);      // updates and notifies subscribers
+store.update({ "/a": 1, "/b": 2 }); // batch update
+
+store.subscribe(() => {
+  console.log(store.getSnapshot()); // { count: 1 }
+});
+```
+
+The `StateStore` interface: `get(path)`, `set(path, value)`, `update(updates)`, `getSnapshot()`, `subscribe(listener)`.
