 ## Compatibility and migration
 
-- Released default preserved: yes for ordinary editing, submission, layout, and visual defaults.
-- Compatibility class: patch-compatible behavioral correction; the public context operation now uses the value its caller supplies, and disabled-plus-stop restores the already enabled Stop path.
-- Controlled/uncontrolled behavior: unchanged; a successful submission still clears through `onChange` in controlled mode and local state otherwise.
-- Migration decision: `spec:AST-029/DEC-4`; each behavior correction was reproduced by a failing test before implementation changed.

+## Current-state impact
+
+- **The public target does not reach the painted body.** The `chat-composer`
+  target sits on the outer frame, so a theme cannot select the body's elevation
+  and border. `architecture:component-theming-surface` INV4 puts each themable
+  part's paint on its target (FR7, OQ1).
+- **Styling inputs split across two elements.** `ref`, DOM props and events,
+  `className`, and `style` reach the outer frame while `xstyle` reaches the
+  painted body. `architecture:public-component-api` INV6 has styling inputs
+  compose on one element (FR10, OQ2).
