Kudzu 0.7.18 - Primitive child prop dependencies

Kudzu 0.7.18 formalizes direct JSON-safe primitive parent state as a reactive child prop across ordinary same-file and relative-imported components, without adding component specialization or a browser component tree.

New in 0.7.18

• A direct parent state identifier passed to a destructured child prop remains the same compiler-owned signal.
• Child text and attribute bindings update directly when the parent primitive changes.
• Child useEffect dependency arrays may reference that destructured prop and reuse the parent state ID.
• Repeated child calls share the parent signal while retaining independent effect records and captures.
• Conditional child insertion mounts its effect, parent updates run cleanup before setup, and removal cleans up exactly once.
• Same-file and relative-imported children receive matching behavior; React and component functions remain absent from browser output.
• The complete suite passes 106/106 tests.

Boundary

The prop must be a direct JSON-safe primitive parent state identifier. Derived expressions, object or array dependencies, computed prop forwarding, and broader callback/ref ownership remain unsupported.
