v1.7.0

Added

• morphicons/element — the <morph-icon> custom element, fifth binding. The binding for hosts without a component runtime: plain HTML, HTMX, Rails, anything server-rendered. Same three modes and the same lifecycle contract as the framework bindings, pinned by the same mirrored mount suite: icon (uncontrolled), from/to/progress (controlled), morphTo/set methods (imperative — the element IS the handle). Attributes carry strings (d paths, spring preset names) for HTML authoring; properties accept the full surface (IconNodes, custom springs) for scripts. A server-rendered <svg><path> inside the element is adopted verbatim — same node, zero d writes during upgrade (the first mount swallows the driver's initialization re-derivations through a write-gated PathEl), pinned by instrumented tests — and its d becomes the at-rest icon, so a script can morph away from SSR markup directly. Imperative calls before the element connects honor the lifecycle contract too: they exit controlled mode, so a pending from/to pair never silently wins the mount over a set/morphTo. defineMorphIcon() registers the tag (idempotent, custom tags supported); the module is safe to import during SSR — only defining/upgrading needs a browser. Zero dependencies, no peer. 8.77 KB gzip all-in.
• morphicons/astro — Astro binding as an SSR shell over the element. A logic-free .astro component (ships as source, the consumer's Astro compiles it — no peer, no runtime): the server emits the exact static SVG with the pure core, and hydration is just custom-element upgrade — the only client bytes are morphicons/element, no framework runtime. A controlled pair of d strings survives upgrade as attributes (both endpoints or none — half a mixed pair would mount from the lone endpoint), so assigning progress from a script scrubs the server-frozen pair; IconNode pairs stay server-only. Rest attrs (id, class, data-*) land on <morph-icon> because grabbing the element from a client script is the interaction model. Islands with the React/Vue/Svelte bindings remain the right call for icons inside one; this entry is for pages that don't need an island at all. Decision record in docs/adr/0003.
• Internal: the Svelte binding's controller (the lifecycle contract as code) moved from src/svelte/shared.ts to the framework-neutral src/dom/controller.ts and is now shared verbatim by Svelte and the element. Existing entries are byte-identical; src/svelte/shared.ts re-exports it, so nothing changes for Svelte consumers.
