- * @module core/AutoCoreTagContext
- * 
- * @document ../../additional-docs/AutCoreTagContext.md
- *
- * @summary
- * A React Context + Provider that manages the state and synchronization of "Tags" (data points)
- * between the React frontend and the AutoCore backend.
- * 
- * It acts as the central data store for real-time values, handling:
- * - **Buffering**: Stores raw controller values exactly as received.
- * - **Scaling**: Converts raw values to display values (e.g., mm -> inches) based on configuration.
- * - **Synchronization**: Subscribes to live updates from the server.
- * - **Writing**: Converts display values back to raw controller units before sending.
- *
- * @remarks
- * ❖ **Dual-State Representation**
- * To prevent rounding errors and race conditions, we maintain two parallel states:
- * 1. `rawValues[tagName]`: The exact value received from the controller (Source of Truth).
- * 2. `values[tagName]`: The derived value shown in the UI (calculated from raw + scale).
- * 
- * When a scale changes (e.g., user switches units), we recompute `values` from `rawValues`.
- * We *never* rescale a previously scaled value.
- *
- * ❖ **Key Features**
- * - **Resilient Initialization**: Eagerly fetches initial values (via ADS refresh or read fallback).
- * - **Server-Stored Scales**: Can load unit preferences from the server (GNV domain).
- * - **Optimized Updates**: Uses stable references and memoization to minimize React re-renders.
- * - **Type Safety**: Strongly typed context via generic `VMapRuntime`.
- *
- * @example Minimal wiring
- * ```tsx
- * // 1. Define your tags
- * const tags = [
- *   { tagName: "position", fqdn: "ADS.Axis.Pos", valueType: "number", scale: "dist" },
- *   { tagName: "speed",    fqdn: "ADS.Axis.Vel", valueType: "number", scale: "dist" }
- * ];
- * 
- * // 2. Define scales
- * const scales = {
- *   dist: { name: "dist", scale: 1.0, label: "mm" }
- * };
- * 
- * // 3. Wrap application
- * <AutoCoreTagProvider tags={tags} scales={scales}>
- *   <App />
- * </AutoCoreTagProvider>
- * ```

+ * @module core/AutoCoreTagContext
+ * 
+ * @document ../../additional-docs/AutCoreTagContext.md
+ *
+ * @summary
+ * A React Context + Provider that manages the state and synchronization of "Tags" (data points)
+ * between the React frontend and the AutoCore backend.
+ * 
+ * It acts as the central data store for real-time values, handling:
+ * - **Buffering**: Stores raw controller values exactly as received.
+ * - **Scaling**: Converts raw values to display values (e.g., mm -> inches) based on configuration.
+ * - **Synchronization**: Subscribes to live updates from the server.
+ * - **Writing**: Converts display values back to raw controller units before sending.
+ *
+ * @remarks
+ * ❖ **Dual-State Representation**
+ * To prevent rounding errors and race conditions, we maintain two parallel states:
+ * 1. `rawValues[tagName]`: The exact value received from the controller (Source of Truth).
+ * 2. `values[tagName]`: The derived value shown in the UI (calculated from raw + scale).
+ * 
+ * When a scale changes (e.g., user switches units), we recompute `values` from `rawValues`.
+ * We *never* rescale a previously scaled value.
+ *
+ * ❖ **Key Features**
+ * - **Resilient Initialization**: Eagerly fetches initial values (via ADS refresh or read fallback).
+ * - **Server-Stored Scales**: Can load unit preferences from the server (GNV domain).
+ * - **Optimized Updates**: Uses stable references and memoization to minimize React re-renders.
+ * - **Type Safety**: Strongly typed context via generic `VMapRuntime`.
+ *
+ * @example Minimal wiring
+ * ```tsx
+ * // 1. Define your tags
+ * const tags = [
+ *   { tagName: "position", fqdn: "ADS.Axis.Pos", valueType: "number", scale: "dist" },
+ *   { tagName: "speed",    fqdn: "ADS.Axis.Vel", valueType: "number", scale: "dist" }
+ * ];
+ * 
+ * // 2. Define scales
+ * const scales = {
+ *   dist: { name: "dist", scale: 1.0, label: "mm" }
+ * };
+ * 
+ * // 3. Wrap application
+ * <AutoCoreTagProvider tags={tags} scales={scales}>
+ *   <App />
+ * </AutoCoreTagProvider>
