+- `indices[].getURL` — `(item) => string`, a route that already exists; don't invent one.
+  It navigates on click **and** on Enter over a highlighted item, and records the click
+  event. Without it, Enter on a highlight does nothing.

+  your own, never `stopPropagation`.** The widget's `<li>` owns the click — it sends the
+  Insights `click`, closes the panel, clears the active option. An anchor wrapper swallows
+  all three while still navigating: looks correct, click analytics never fire, panel stays
+  open behind the new page.
+- `templates.noResults` on every index, or a query matching nothing renders an empty box.
+- `getSearchPageURL` sends Enter with nothing highlighted to a full results page; pass it
+  only if the app has one. `.getQuery` is optional. Leave `showQuerySuggestions`,
+  `showPromptSuggestions`, `showRecent`, and `aiMode` unset — each needs an index or
+  feature (query suggestions, recent-search storage, AI chat) this project lacks.
+- TypeScript: type records through the generic, not casts inside templates —
+  `type ProductHit = Hit<{ title: string; handle: string }>` (`Hit` from
+  `instantsearch.js`), then `autocomplete<ProductHit>({ ... })` types `item`, `getURL`,
+  and the templates.
+
+### Styling the panel
+
+The widget ships no CSS. Install `instantsearch.css` and import a theme once, from the
+component's own JS/TS module or the app's global stylesheet:
+
+```js
+import 'instantsearch.css/themes/satellite.css'
+```
+
+The theme and your `.ais-*` overrides must be **global**: never a CSS `@import` inside a
+framework-scoped style block (Astro `<style>`, Vue `<style scoped>`, Svelte `<style>`) or
+a CSS Module. Scoping rewrites every selector
+(`.ais-AutocompleteInput[data-astro-cid-abc123]`) and the widget builds its DOM at runtime
+with no scope attribute, so not one rule matches — unstyled UI, no error, build passes.
+Use `<style is:global>` (Astro), an unscoped block or `:deep()` (Vue), or plain global CSS.
+
+The theme ships a dark palette behind `:root[data-theme=dark], .dark`: in a dark app set
+`data-theme="dark"` on `<html>` or render under a `.dark` ancestor, then adjust — don't
+redefine the light palette by hand.
+
+Palette lives in `--ais-*` custom properties on `:root` as **RGB triplets consumed through
+`rgba()`**, not CSS colors — override with triplets or every widget color breaks:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  --ais-background-color-rgb: 24, 24, 27; /* not #18181b */
+  --ais-text-color-rgb: 244, 244, 245;
+  --ais-primary-color-rgb: 129, 140, 248;
+}
+```
+
+Everything else is plain CSS against the widget's classes, or `cssClasses` /
+`indices[].cssClasses` to add your own names to the same elements. Who owns what:
+
+- `.ais-Autocomplete` — root. Its **container** sets the widget's width; don't size the
+  widget from the input.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteForm` — visible frame: background, border, radius, focus ring
+  (`:focus-within`). The input's pill goes here.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteInput` — text only; theme sets `border: 0`, `background: none`,
+  `width: 100%`. A border or width here leaves the form's frame drawn around it and
+  changes no widths.
+- `.ais-AutocompletePanel` (+ `--open`), `.ais-AutocompletePanelLayout` — dropdown surface
+  and its scroll container.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteIndex`, `-IndexHeader`, `-IndexList`, `-IndexItem`, `-IndexNoResults`
+  — one index's results; the active item carries `aria-selected="true"`.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteItemWrapper`, `-ItemContent`, `-ItemIcon` — inside one result.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteSubmitButton`, `-ClearButton`, `-LoadingIndicator`, `-Label` — form
+  controls.
+- `.ais-AutocompleteDetached*` — detached mode (below).
+
+Style nothing outside that list: `.ais-SearchBox-*` belongs to `searchBox` and does
+nothing here. Verify names against the installed version:
+`grep -o 'ais-Autocomplete[A-Za-z-]*' node_modules/instantsearch.css/themes/satellite.css | sort -u`.
+
+The theme's panel is `position: absolute; width: 100%`, so it inherits the input
+container's width — a small input yields an unreadably narrow panel. Give it a min-width
+and anchor it to the edge it opens from, or it grows off-screen:
+
+```css
+.ais-AutocompletePanel {
+  min-width: 320px;
+  left: 0; /* right: 0; left: auto for an input aligned to the right */
+}
+```
+
+Below `(max-width: 680px)` the widget goes detached (fullscreen): the inline form becomes
+a `.ais-AutocompleteDetachedSearchButton`, form and results move into an overlay
+(`.ais-AutocompleteDetachedOverlay`, `.ais-AutocompleteDetachedContainer`,
+`.ais-AutocompleteDetachedFormContainer`). So panel-width rules apply only above that
+breakpoint, and styling the inline form leaves the mobile trigger button on the theme's
+look unless you style it too. Change it with `detachedMediaQuery` or
+`--ais-autocomplete-detached-media-query`; pass `''` to disable detached mode entirely.
+
 ## Insights (click analytics) — always enable it
 
 The `insights` option turns on the Insights middleware (`instantsearch.js` v4.55+),
 which adds `clickAnalytics: true` to every query and keeps the `userToken` in sync
 between search and event calls. Never set `clickAnalytics` or `userToken` on the `configure` widget by hand.

 ## Vue (`vue-instantsearch` v4)
 
+Use `ais-autocomplete` for the query and results state. It is **headless**: its default
+slot provides only `currentRefinement`, `indices`, and `refine` — it renders nothing and
+handles no focus, blur, keyboard, or ARIA. Build all of it yourself: panel closed until
+the input is focused and has a query; close on Escape, blur, or outside click; active-option
+highlight on Up/Down with Enter to select; combobox ARIA on the input; click events via
+each index's `sendEvent`.

+Details that break accessibility if changed:
+
+- `role="combobox"` on the `input`, not a wrapper — with `aria-controls` at the popup's
+  `id` and `aria-activedescendant` at the active option's `id`. Focus stays on the input
+  while the arrows move the highlight.
+- The `role="listbox"` element must be the direct parent of the `role="option"` elements;
+  a `ul` inside a `listbox` div, or options one level deeper, breaks the a11y tree.
+- `v-show`, not `v-if`, so the `aria-activedescendant` target stays in the DOM.
+- `@mousedown.prevent` on an option, not `@click` — selection must land before `focusout`
+  closes the panel.
+- `focusout` on the wrapper is the outside-click dismissal (`event.relatedTarget` is
+  `null` for a click on non-focusable chrome). Don't add a `document` click listener on
+  top — it fights `@mousedown.prevent`.
+- `.is-active` needs a visible style, not just `aria-selected` — it is a keyboard user's
+  only focus feedback, since focus never leaves the input.
+
+The panel is your own markup with no widget theme to inherit: give `.search-panel` a
+background from the app's theme tokens (never transparent over page content), text
+clearing 4.5:1 against it, `position: absolute` with `min-width: 320px` anchored to the
+input edge it opens from, and a `max-height` with `overflow-y: auto`.
+
+`indices` supports federated search across indices; this project has one, so `indices[0]`
+is always the one to read.
+
 Register the widgets via the InstantSearch Vue plugin in your app entry:

 ### Click and conversion events
 
-`ais-hits` sends `view` and `click` events on its own. A custom `item` slot whose
-click target is your own element needs the slot's `sendEvent`:
+`ais-autocomplete` wraps the same connector as the other flavors, so `view` fires on its
+own when results render. `click` does not — the option markup is yours: call the index's
+`sendEvent` from your own option handler, as in the setup example above.
 
 ```vue
-<ais-hits>
-  <template v-slot:item="{ item, sendEvent }">
-    <a :href="item.url" @click="sendEvent('click', item, 'Hit Clicked')">
-      {{ item.name }}
-    </a>
-  </template>
-</ais-hits>
+<li @mousedown.prevent="indices[0].sendEvent('click', hit, 'Hit Clicked')">
 ```
 
+`ais-hits` (if the app also has a full results page) sends both itself; only a custom
+`item` slot whose click target is your own element needs wiring — that slot provides
+`sendEvent`.
+
 Conversions are business actions (add to cart, signup, booking), so wire them at the
 real action, not at render:
