Kudzu 0.16.7 applies owner-triggered loading to the real retained CodeMirror editor journey.
- Loads the editor package only on first activation.
- Preserves bidirectional updates, accessible error recovery, and retained DOM identity.
- Disposes exactly on conditional and document release.
- Remounts fresh editor state while reusing the native ESM module cache.
- Reduces initial editor gzip from 71,607 B to 7,230 B.
- Adds no loader, resource registry, widget runtime, React, VDOM, or hydration.
Also publishes create-kudzu@0.1.132 targeting @kudzujs/core@^0.16.7.
