What
Adds a single conceptual explainer,
docs/remote-ui.md, that makes the Flow remote-UI ("flr") system understandable to contributors (humans and agents) and spells out what remote-capability means when you implement or change a component. ExistingAGENTS.mdfiles now link to it instead of duplicating the concepts.Why
Remote-UI is one of Flow's three core systems but the least discoverable — knowledge was scattered across terse package
AGENTS.mdfiles and proceduralCONTRIBUTE.mdsteps, with no single explanation of how it works end to end or what it means for building components. That gap makes it easy to break the extension-facing contract, forget the generate/commit step, or compose components in a way that silently breaks remote rendering.What the explainer covers
@flr-generate→ views +auto-generated/**)on*events, one-arg handlers,ReactNode→slots, no attributes, runtime serialization coercion),ref/controller/tunnel, controlled-input echo-suppression + allowlist, placement +propTypesregistration,PropsContextasymmetry, and the Definition of DoneHostExportsboundary, the deprecation delivery pathNotes
AGENTS.mdedits only add links (plus Prettier re-wrapping) — no content removed.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
