 ## Code Style
 
 - Do not use emojis in code or UI
-- Do not use barrel files (index.ts that re-exports from other files)
 - Use shadcn CLI to add shadcn/ui components: `pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add <component>`
+- **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.
 
 ## Workflow
 
 - Run `pnpm type-check` after each turn to ensure type safety
+- 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)
+  - Web app docs in `apps/web/` (if guides, API references, or examples need updating)
+  - Skills in `skills/*/SKILL.md` (if the package has a corresponding skill)
+  - `AGENTS.md` (if workflow or conventions change)
+
+## Releases
+
+This monorepo uses [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) for versioning and publishing.
+
+### Fixed version group
+
+All public `@json-render/*` packages are in a **fixed** group (see `.changeset/config.json`). A changeset that bumps any one of them bumps all of them to the same version. You only need to list the packages that actually changed in the changeset front matter — the fixed group handles the rest.
+
+### Preparing a release
+
+When asked to prepare a release (e.g. "prepare v0.12.0"):
+
+1. **Create a changeset file** at `.changeset/v0-<N>-release.md` following the existing pattern:
+   - YAML front matter listing changed packages with bump type (`minor` for feature releases, `patch` for bug-fix-only releases)
+   - A one-line summary, then `### New:` / `### Improved:` / `### Fixed:` sections describing each change
+   - Always list `@json-render/core` plus any packages with actual code changes
+2. **Do NOT bump versions** in `package.json` files — CI runs `pnpm ci:version` (which calls `changeset version`) to do that automatically
+3. **Do NOT manually write `CHANGELOG.md`** entries — `changeset version` generates them from the changeset file
+4. **Add new packages to the fixed group** in `.changeset/config.json` if they should be versioned together with the rest
+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/json-render-<name>/SKILL.md`
+   - A `packages/<name>/README.md`
+6. **Run `pnpm type-check`** after all changes to verify nothing is broken
+
+### CI scripts
+
+- `pnpm changeset` — interactively create a new changeset
+- `pnpm ci:version` — run `changeset version` + lockfile update (CI only)
+- `pnpm ci:publish` — build all packages and publish to npm (CI only)

+```
+
+See the [Image example](https://github.com/vercel-labs/json-render/tree/main/examples/image) for a full working example.
+
+## schema
+
+The image element schema for image specs. Use with `defineCatalog` from core.
+
+```typescript
+import { defineCatalog } from '@json-render/core';
+import { schema, standardComponentDefinitions } from '@json-render/image';
+
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: standardComponentDefinitions,
+});

+#### 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}

+
+// Mutate from anywhere — components re-render automatically:
+store.set("/count", 1);
+```
+
+The `store` prop is also available on `JSONUIProvider` and `createRenderer`.

+npm install @json-render/shadcn @json-render/core @json-render/react zod
+```
+
+Your app must have Tailwind CSS configured.

+<td>Catalog schemas (no React dependency, safe for server)</td>
+</tr>
+</tbody>

+
+## 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";
+import { shadcnComponents } from "@json-render/shadcn";
+
+// Catalog: pick definitions
+const catalog = defineCatalog(schema, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Card,
+    Stack: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Stack,
+    Heading: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Heading,
+    Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
+    Input: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Input,
+  },
+  actions: {},
+});
+
+// Registry: pick matching implementations
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
+    Stack: shadcnComponents.Stack,
+    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,
+    Stack: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Stack,
+    Button: shadcnComponentDefinitions.Button,
+
+    // Custom
+    Metric: {
+      props: z.object({
+        label: z.string(),
+        value: z.string(),
+        trend: z.enum(["up", "down", "neutral"]).nullable(),
+      }),
+      description: "KPI metric display",
+    },
+  },
+  actions: {},
+});
+
+const { registry } = defineRegistry(catalog, {
+  components: {
+    Card: shadcnComponents.Card,
+    Stack: shadcnComponents.Stack,
+    Button: shadcnComponents.Button,
+    Metric: ({ props }) => (
+      <div>
+        <span>{props.label}</span>

+## Notes
+
+- The `/catalog` entry point has no React dependency -- use it for server-side prompt generation
+- Components use Tailwind CSS classes -- your app must have Tailwind configured
+- Component implementations use bundled shadcn/ui primitives (not your app's `components/ui/`)
+- Form inputs support `checks` for validation (type + message pairs)
+- Events: inputs emit `change`/`submit`/`focus`/`blur`; buttons emit `press`; selects emit `change`/`select`

+</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' }`.

 # Changelog
 
 Notable changes and updates to json-render.
 
+## v0.10.0
+
+February 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 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 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 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";
+
+const spec: Spec = {
+  root: "doc",
+  elements: {
+    doc: { type: "Document", props: { title: "Invoice" }, children: ["page"] },
+    page: {
+      type: "Page",
+      props: { size: "A4" },
+      children: ["heading", "table"],
+    },
+    heading: {
+      type: "Heading",
+      props: { text: "Invoice #1234", level: "h1" },
+      children: [],
+    },
+    table: {
+      type: "Table",
+      props: {
+        columns: [
+          { header: "Item", width: "60%" },
+          { header: "Price", width: "40%", align: "right" },
+        ],
+        rows: [
+          ["Widget A", "$10.00"],
+          ["Widget B", "$25.00"],
+        ],
+      },
+      children: [],
+    },
+  },
+};
+
+const buffer = await renderToBuffer(spec);
+```
+
+Server-side rendering APIs:
+
+- `renderToBuffer(spec)` -- render to an in-memory PDF buffer
+- `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 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.

 #### Using `bindings` for two-way binding
 
 When a spec uses `{ "$bindState": "/path" }` or `{ "$bindItem": "field" }` on a prop, the renderer resolves the **value** into `props` and provides the **write-back path** in `bindings`. Use the `useBoundProp` hook to wire both together:

+## 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.
+
+## 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 { 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
+
+Generate SVG and PNG images from JSON specs using Satori. Ideal for OG images, social cards, and banners.
+
+```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.
+
+## Custom Renderers
+

+## 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.

+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.
