Kudzu 0.8.18 - Explicit component ownership

Kudzu 0.8.18 gives state, setters, props, refs, IDs, and supported component specializations one ordered JSON-safe source result while preserving final route allocation and deploy behavior.

Highlights

• Retains explicit component ownership beside each compiled non-Worker build module.
• Records lexical state/setter slots, destructured props, refs, IDs, specializations, and source provenance.
• Resolves command signal ownership per state, including mixed parent/child and nested keyed handlers.
• Links specialized props to parent, reducer, custom-hook, and Context Provider signals.
• Keeps final state, ref, ID, conditional, and keyed allocation in core.mjs.
• Adds no public API, accepted syntax, VDOM, hydration, or browser component runtime.

Validation

• npm run check passes with 133 generated pages and 2 interactive pages.
• npm test passes 167/167.
• Focused compiler tests and production build pass on Node 22.
• Ten representative ownership and capability fixtures retain matching file lists and output hashes.
• Worker graph remains 907 B raw / 475 B gzip.
• Window graph remains 12,148 B raw / 5,427 B gzip.
• The 21-run clean-build median remains within the 5% architecture gate.
• A packed 0.8.18 tarball installs, typechecks, and builds a clean generated starter.

Upgrade

npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.8.18

create-kudzu remains 0.1.101 because its unchanged template already accepts @kudzujs/core@^0.8.15.
