 ---
-The script loader manages third-party JavaScript based on consent state. You declare scripts in your provider's `scripts` option, and c15t decides when each script should load, stay loaded, unload, or receive a consent update.
 
-Use it for analytics, pixels, tag managers, product analytics, and other vendor snippets that should not run until the right consent condition is satisfied. Prebuilt helpers live in [`@c15t/scripts`](/docs/integrations/overview); custom scripts can be declared directly when the vendor is specific to your app.

-> ℹ️ **Info:**
-> Start with the integrations overview before writing your own script. Built-in helpers encode vendor boot order, consent updates, and common defaults so you do not have to.
->
-> 📝 **Note:**
-> If you need a vendor c15t does not ship yet, see the custom integration guide. It explains when a one-off Script is enough and when to build a reusable manifest-backed helper.
->
-> ℹ️ **Info:**
-> The script loader handles JavaScript tags and callback lifecycles. For iframe-only embeds, use the iframe blocking pattern. For UI components such as maps or video players, combine consent state with a component-level placeholder or a dedicated renderable integration.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-Pass an array of `Script` objects to the runtime options:
+Install `@c15t/scripts` alongside `c15t`. This browser example adds a
+marketing integration to a hosted kernel:
 
 ```ts
-import { getOrCreateConsentRuntime } from 'c15t';
+import { createConsentKernel, createHostedTransport } from 'c15t';
+import { createPersistence } from 'c15t/modules/persistence';
+import { createScriptLoader } from 'c15t/modules/script-loader';
 import { metaPixel } from '@c15t/scripts/meta-pixel';
 
-const { consentStore } = getOrCreateConsentRuntime({
-  mode: 'hosted',
-  backendURL: 'https://your-instance.c15t.dev',
-  scripts: [
-    metaPixel({ pixelId: '123456' }),
-    {
-      id: 'custom-analytics',
-      src: 'https://cdn.example.com/analytics.js',
-      category: 'measurement',
-    },
-  ],
+const kernel = createConsentKernel({
+  transport: createHostedTransport({ backendURL: 'https://your-project.inth.app' }),
 });
-```
-
-## Mental Model
-
-Every script you register has the same lifecycle. c15t evaluates each script against the current consent state, then drives it through a small number of states:
-
-1. **Pending** — registered but waiting for consent. Nothing is in the DOM yet.
-2. **Loaded** — consent matched, c15t injected the script (or ran callbacks for callback-only scripts).
-3. **Updated** — already loaded, consent state changed, `onConsentChange` ran so the SDK can react.
-4. **Unloaded** — consent was revoked. c15t removed the script element unless you opted into persistence.
-
-Four lifecycle callbacks let you hook into transitions: `onBeforeLoad`, `onLoad`, `onConsentChange`, and `onError`. Two flags — [`alwaysLoad`](#always-load) and [`persistAfterConsentRevoked`](#persist-after-revocation) — change how c15t treats consent boundaries. Everything else (DOM placement, ad-block evasion, dynamic management) is a refinement on top of this core model.
-
-## Choose the Right Approach
-
-Most projects mix more than one style. Pick the smallest one that keeps consent behavior obvious:
-
-|Style|Use when|
-|--|--|
-|**Built-in helper** from `@c15t/scripts`|c15t already ships the vendor. See the [integrations overview](/docs/integrations/overview).|
-|**Plain `Script`**|One-off app code with simple load and callback behavior.|
-|**Callback-only `Script`**|Another package already loaded the SDK; c15t only synchronizes consent.|
-|**Manifest-backed helper**|Reusable vendor integration with structured setup phases, queues, stubs, or a vendor consent API.|
-|**Iframe / renderable integration**|Vendor exposes an iframe or React component, not just a `<script>` tag.|
-
-## Script Types
-
-### Standard Scripts
-
-Standard scripts load an external JavaScript file via a `<script>` tag. This is the default for most analytics and pixel SDKs:
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'analytics',
-  src: 'https://cdn.example.com/analytics.js',
-  category: 'measurement',
-}
-```
-
-### Inline Scripts
-
-Inline scripts execute JavaScript from `textContent` instead of loading a URL. Use these sparingly; a manifest-backed helper is usually better for reusable vendor code.
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'gtag-config',
-  textContent: `
-    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
-    function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
-    gtag('js', new Date());
-    gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXX');
-  `,
-  category: 'measurement',
-}
-```
-
-### Callback-Only Scripts
-
-Callback-only scripts do not inject a script tag. They run lifecycle callbacks when consent allows them to. Use this when another package has already loaded the SDK and c15t only needs to drive consent:
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'posthog-consent',
-  callbackOnly: true,
-  category: 'measurement',
-  onLoad: ({ hasConsent }) => {
-    if (hasConsent) {
-      posthog.opt_in_capturing();
-    }
-  },
-  onConsentChange: ({ hasConsent }) => {
-    if (hasConsent) {
-      posthog.opt_in_capturing();
-    } else {
-      posthog.opt_out_capturing();
-    }
-  },
-}
-```
-
-### Manifest-Backed Helpers
-
-Built-in integrations in `@c15t/scripts` are manifest-backed. A manifest describes vendor setup as structured phases, then c15t compiles it into a `Script`. Manifests keep queue stubs, script URLs, consent signaling, and post-load work consistent across apps and they are safe to ship from a server.
-
-Use a manifest-backed helper when:
-
-* the integration should be reused across projects,
-* the vendor snippet has ordered setup steps,
-* the vendor exposes a consent API,
-* or you plan to contribute the integration back to c15t.
-
-Read the [custom integration guide](/docs/integrations/building-integrations) for the manifest contract, phases, and testing checklist.
-
-### Iframe And Renderable Integrations
-
-Some vendors are not just script tags. YouTube embeds, maps, calendars, and checkout widgets often need a visible component, a placeholder, or an iframe.
-
-* For iframe-only embeds, gate the iframe `src` with the [iframe blocking](/docs/frameworks/react/iframe-blocking) pattern instead of loading a script just to hide an iframe.
-* For SDK-backed UI, use the script loader for the shared SDK and render the component only when consent and SDK readiness agree.
-* Use `YouTubeEmbed` for the iframe-only YouTube candidate and `GoogleMap` for the callback-based SDK candidate.
-* Use `useConsentScript()` when building custom wrappers. It registers scripts through the consent store, follows `loadedScripts`, and returns a promise-shaped readiness contract for callback-based SDKs.
-
-## Lifecycle Callbacks
-
-Every script supports four callbacks. Each receives a `ScriptCallbackInfo` payload (id, element, hasConsent, consents):
-
-* `onBeforeLoad` — runs before the script tag is injected. Create globals, queues, or vendor stubs here.
-* `onLoad` — runs after the browser loads the script. Call vendor `init()` APIs here.
-* `onConsentChange` — runs for loaded scripts when consent changes. Forward the new consent state to the vendor SDK.
-* `onError` — runs when the script fails to load. Record diagnostics or render a fallback.
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'analytics',
-  src: 'https://analytics.example.com/v2.js',
-  category: 'measurement',
-  onBeforeLoad: ({ id }) => {
-    window.analyticsQueue = window.analyticsQueue || [];
-  },
-  onLoad: () => {
-    window.analytics.init('my-key');
-  },
-  onError: ({ error }) => {
-    console.error('Failed to load analytics:', error);
-  },
-  onConsentChange: ({ hasConsent }) => {
-    window.analytics.setConsent(hasConsent);
-  },
-}
-```
-
-## Consent Conditions
-
-The `category` field accepts a `HasCondition`. It can be a single consent category or a logical expression:
-
-```tsx
-// Simple: requires measurement consent
-{ category: 'measurement' }
-
-// AND: requires both measurement and marketing
-{ category: { and: ['measurement', 'marketing'] } }
-
-// OR: requires either measurement or marketing
-{ category: { or: ['measurement', 'marketing'] } }
-```
-
-Consent categories use the same names as the rest of c15t (`necessary`, `functionality`, `experience`, `measurement`, `marketing`).
-
-## Persistence Options
-
-### Always Load
-
-`alwaysLoad` loads the script regardless of whether its category is currently granted. Use it only when the vendor must be present early **and** has a reliable consent API of its own — Google Tag Manager with Consent Mode is the canonical example.
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'google-tag-manager',
-  src: 'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-XXXX',
-  category: 'measurement',
-  alwaysLoad: true,
-}
-```
-
-When `alwaysLoad` is on, `onConsentChange` becomes mandatory: it is how the loaded SDK learns about every transition.
-
-> ⚠️ **Warning:**
-> alwaysLoad shifts compliance responsibility to the vendor integration. Make sure the script receives denied-by-default consent signals before it can track.
-
-### Persist After Revocation
-
-`persistAfterConsentRevoked` keeps a script in the page after consent is revoked instead of unloading it. Use it only when the vendor exposes a runtime consent toggle — otherwise unloading is safer because removing the element guarantees the SDK stops.
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'error-tracking',
-  src: 'https://errors.example.com/track.js',
-  category: 'measurement',
-  persistAfterConsentRevoked: true,
-  onConsentChange: ({ hasConsent }) => {
-    window.ErrorTracker.setConsent(hasConsent);
-  },
-}
-```
-
-As with `alwaysLoad`, `onConsentChange` is how the persisted SDK learns about consent updates.
-
-### `alwaysLoad` vs `persistAfterConsentRevoked`
-
-These two flags answer different questions. Use this table to keep them straight:
-
-|Question|`alwaysLoad`|`persistAfterConsentRevoked`|
-|--|--|--|
-|Loads before consent is granted?|Yes|No (waits for consent like a normal script)|
-|Stays loaded after consent is revoked?|Yes|Yes|
-|Requires a vendor consent API?|Yes|Yes|
-
-## DOM Placement
-
-Control where the script is injected and whether the element id is anonymized:
-
-```tsx
-{
-  id: 'widget',
-  src: 'https://widget.example.com/embed.js',
-  category: 'experience',
-  target: 'body',     // 'head' (default) or 'body'
-  anonymizeId: true,  // default: true, hides the c15t script id from ad blockers
-  nonce: 'abc123',    // optional CSP nonce
-}
-```
-
-Set `anonymizeId: false` only when another script or test needs a stable DOM id. Pass `nonce` when your CSP requires it; c15t applies it directly to the generated `<script>` element.
-
-You usually do not need a per-script `nonce`. Setting `nonce` once on the provider covers every injected script (and the theme stylesheet); a per-script value overrides it for that script alone.
-
-## Dynamic Management
-
-Framework packages expose script-manager methods so integrations can be added, removed, or inspected at runtime. Use this for tenant-specific tools, feature-flagged scripts, or vendors that are configured after sign-in:
-
-* `setScripts(scripts)` — registers script definitions and immediately evaluates them against consent.
-* `removeScript(id)` — removes a definition and unloads its element if needed.
-* `isScriptLoaded(id)` — returns whether c15t has loaded a script.
-* `getLoadedScriptIds()` — returns every currently loaded script id.
-
-Dynamic scripts should still use stable ids. If the same vendor is added repeatedly with different ids, c15t treats each call as a new script.
-
-## Calling Vendor APIs From Your App
-
-The script loader controls **when the vendor SDK loads**. It does not intercept calls your application code makes to that SDK afterwards. Whether your event calls are safe before consent is granted depends on the script's persistence flags:
+const persistence = createPersistence({ kernel });
+const loader = createScriptLoader({ kernel, scripts: [metaPixel({ pixelId: '123456789012345' })] });
+await kernel.commands.init();
 
-|Vendor pattern|What c15t does|What your app code must do|
-|--|--|--|
-|Consent-gated load, unloaded on revoke (e.g. cookieless analytics)|Script not in DOM until consent granted; removed on revoke. Global is `undefined` outside that window.|**Guard every call.** Unguarded `window.vendor.track(...)` throws when the global is absent.|
-|Consent-gated load with `persistAfterConsentRevoked` (e.g. Meta Pixel)|Script not in DOM until consent granted; stays after revoke. c15t calls vendor's consent-revoke API on revocation.|Guard calls only for the pre-initial-consent window. Once loaded, the SDK handles its own suppression.|
-|`alwaysLoad: true` with a vendor consent API (e.g. GTM, gtag, Databuddy, PostHog)|Script in DOM on page start; c15t signals consent state through the vendor's API.|Calls are safe — the vendor SDK suppresses transmission when consent is denied.|
-|No app-facing API (e.g. Cloudflare Web Analytics)|Script in/out of DOM based on consent. Tracking is fully automatic.|Nothing to guard.|
-
-The safe pattern in React is to read consent state through `useConsentManager().has(category)` before calling the SDK:
-
-```tsx
-import { useCallback } from 'react';
-import { useConsentManager } from '@c15t/react';
-
-function useTrackSignup() {
-  const { has } = useConsentManager();
-
-  return useCallback(() => {
-    if (has('measurement')) {
-      window.fathom?.trackEvent('signup');
-    }
-  }, [has]);
-}
-
-function SignupButton() {
-  const trackSignup = useTrackSignup();
-
-  return <button onClick={trackSignup}>Sign up</button>;
-}
-```
-
-From non-React code, read the consent store directly:
-
-```ts
-import { getOrCreateConsentRuntime } from 'c15t';
-
-const { consentStore } = getOrCreateConsentRuntime();
-
-if (consentStore.getState().has('measurement')) {
-  window.fathom?.trackEvent('signup');
+function dispose() {
+  loader.dispose();
+  persistence.dispose();
+  kernel.dispose();
 }
 ```
 
-Each [integration page](/docs/integrations/overview) includes a vendor-specific **Tracking events in your app** block that names which pattern applies.
-
-## Debugging Checklist
-
-When a script does not behave as expected:
-
-1. Confirm the script's `category` matches the consent that has been granted.
-2. Check whether the script is `alwaysLoad` or consent-gated.
-3. Confirm `onBeforeLoad` creates any globals before the vendor code reads them.
-4. Confirm `onConsentChange` updates persisted or always-loaded scripts when consent changes.
-5. Check whether the browser or an ad blocker blocked the request.
-6. Use c15t devtools to inspect script lifecycle events when available.
-
-## Dynamic Script Management
-
-Add, remove, or check scripts at runtime via the store:
-
-```ts
-const state = consentStore.getState();
-
-// Add scripts dynamically
-state.setScripts([
-  { id: 'dynamic', src: 'https://cdn.example.com/widget.js', category: 'measurement' },
-]);
-
-// Remove a script
-state.removeScript('dynamic');
-
-// Check if a script is loaded
-const loaded = state.isScriptLoaded('custom-analytics');
-
-// Get all loaded script IDs
-const allLoaded = state.getLoadedScriptIds();
-```
+Replace the URL and pixel ID. Call `dispose()` when your application tears down.
+The headless kernel does not render a banner; connect a policy-aware UI before
+shipping this integration. A framework provider already manages these modules,
+so do not attach a second loader to a provider-owned kernel.
