+`initRoute` from the [TanStack Start quickstart](https://c15t.com/docs/frameworks/tanstack-start/quickstart):

-This edits the existing route. `Route` and `backendURL` come from its setup;
-keep the document shell and head components if they are part of your root.
-`initRoute={false}` keeps the quickstart's direct-backend initialization.
-If your app mounts a consent server route, retain its existing `initRoute`
-instead. Do not return script callbacks from a server function or route loader.
+Import vendor helpers in the root route module, not in a server function.
+A server function's return value must be serializable, and script
+configurations carry callbacks. See

 **React**
 
-Import the scripts into your existing provider component:
+Add the configuration to the existing `ConsentProvider` options, next to
+`mode`:
 
-```ts
-import { ConsentProvider } from 'c15t/react';
+```tsx title="src/consent.tsx"
 import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';

-Keep the existing options and add `scripts`:
-
-```tsx
-<ConsentProvider options={{ ...consentOptions, scripts }}>
-  {children}
-</ConsentProvider>

-`mode: hosted({ url: backendURL })`. Keep the banner, dialog and preferences

+[React scripts and embeds](../frameworks/react/scripts.md).
 
 **Nuxt**
 
-Attach one loader from the root `app.vue`, after the Nuxt module has
-started its browser runtime. This keeps vendor callbacks in application code rather
-than serialized `nuxt.config.ts` runtime configuration.
+Register the scripts under the `c15t` key in `app/app.config.ts`. Adjust the
+relative import to where you created `consent-scripts.ts`:
 
-```vue title="app/app.vue"
-<script setup lang="ts">
-import { onUnmounted } from 'vue';
-import { createScriptLoader } from 'c15t/modules/script-loader';
+```ts title="app/app.config.ts"
 import { scripts } from '../src/consent-scripts';
 
-const nuxtApp = useNuxtApp();
-const kernel = useConsentKernel();
-let loader: ReturnType<typeof createScriptLoader> | undefined;
-
-const removeMountedHook = nuxtApp.hook('app:mounted', () => {
-  loader = createScriptLoader({ kernel, scripts });
+export default defineAppConfig({
+  c15t: { scripts },
 });
-onUnmounted(() => {
-  removeMountedHook();
-  loader?.dispose();
-});
-</script>
-
-<template>
-  <ConsentRoot />
-  <NuxtPage />
-</template>
 ```
 
-Merge the setup code into your root and retain its footer and preferences
-link. `useConsentKernel` is auto-imported by the c15t Nuxt module. Adjust the
-relative script import if your `app.vue` is at the project root. This loader
-waits until the module has applied browser persistence and privacy signals,
-then reads the current snapshot and observes future changes. Do not also register these scripts
-in another loader. See the [Nuxt quickstart](https://c15t.com/docs/frameworks/nuxt/quickstart).
+The Nuxt module merges this over its options in `nuxt.config.ts` and starts
+one script loader in the browser after hydration, once it has applied the
+visitor's stored choice and privacy signals. Keep `scripts` out of
+`nuxt.config.ts`, which reaches the browser as JSON and drops the vendor
+callbacks. Write the vendor IDs into `consent-scripts.ts`. See
+[Nuxt scripts and embeds](../frameworks/nuxt/scripts.md).
 
 **Vue**
 
-Use the kernel already provided by the Vue plugin. Merge this setup into
-`App.vue`, whose lifetime covers the application:
+Pass the scripts to the existing `c15tVue` plugin call in `src/main.ts`:
 
-```vue title="src/App.vue"
-<script setup lang="ts">
-import { onMounted, onUnmounted } from 'vue';
-import { createScriptLoader } from 'c15t/modules/script-loader';
-import { useConsentKernel } from 'c15t/vue/vue-plugin';
-import ConsentRoot from 'c15t/vue/consent-root';

-let loader: ReturnType<typeof createScriptLoader> | undefined;

-onMounted(() => {
-  loader = createScriptLoader({ kernel, scripts });
+app.use(c15tVue, {
+  backendURL: 'https://your-project.inth.app',
+  scripts,
 });
-onUnmounted(() => loader?.dispose());
-</script>
-
-<template>
-  <ConsentRoot />
-  <main>Your application</main>
-</template>
 ```
 
-Keep your existing page content and preferences link. The plugin still owns
-the kernel and persistence; this component owns only the vendor loader.
-Do not register the same scripts in plugin configuration as well. See the
-[Vue quickstart](https://c15t.com/docs/frameworks/vue/quickstart).
+Keep your existing backend URL and other options. The plugin starts one
+script loader when the app mounts, after it has applied the visitor's stored
+choice. Do not also call `createScriptLoader` from a component. See
+[Vue scripts and embeds](../frameworks/vue/scripts.md).
 
 **Astro**
 
-Point the existing Astro integration at a client module. Keep its `mode`,
-`ui` and framework integration from the [Astro quickstart](https://c15t.com/docs/frameworks/astro/quickstart).
-Import `fileURLToPath` in your Astro configuration:
-
-```js title="astro.config.mjs"
-import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url';
-```
-
-Add this option to the existing `c15t({ ... })` call. Resolve the path from
-the configuration file because Astro injects the import into a virtual module:
-
-```js
-clientEntrypoint: fileURLToPath(new URL('./src/c15t.client.ts', import.meta.url)),
-```
+Add the scripts to the client entrypoint from the
+[Astro quickstart](https://c15t.com/docs/frameworks/astro/quickstart), the module that the
+integration's `clientEntrypoint` option names. Keep `mode`, `ui` and the
+framework integration in `astro.config.mjs` as they are. If the module
+already exports scripts, combine the two arrays.
 
-Export the scripts from that module:

-```ts title="src/c15t.client.ts"

+```ts title="src/consent-client.ts"
+import type { C15tClientOptionsExtension } from 'c15t/astro';
 import { scripts } from './consent-scripts';
 
 export default { scripts } satisfies C15tClientOptionsExtension;
 ```
 
-The integration passes this extension to its shared browser runtime. Vendor
-helpers contain callbacks, so do not put them in the serialized `scripts`
-option in `astro.config.mjs`. Keep one runtime across consent islands and
+Vendor helpers contain callbacks, and the integration options in

+**HTML**
+
+The helpers in `@c15t/integrations` are ES modules that need a bundler. On a

+<script type="text/plain" data-c15t-category="measurement">

+to a pasted snippet. See [HTML scripts](../frameworks/html/scripts.md).

+  backendURL: 'https://your-project.inth.app',
+  scripts,
+});
 ```
 
-Call `loader.dispose()` when that application instance is destroyed.
-`kernel` is the hosted kernel from your quickstart. A provider-owned kernel
-already has a loader; do not attach a second one. See
-[JavaScript script loading](../frameworks/javascript/script-loader.md).
+Keep the backend URL from your quickstart. With
+`createConsentRuntime` from `c15t/runtime`, pass `scripts` to it instead.
+A kernel you create yourself needs a loader from
+`c15t/modules/script-loader`. Attach one loader per kernel. See
