+GJS TypeScript type definitions for Gdl-3 using [ts-for-gir](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir) v4.5.0.
 
-GJS TypeScript type definitions for Gdl-3 using [ts-for-gir](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir) v4.3.0.
+This package contains type declarations only. It ships no runtime code, so it adds
+nothing to your program and works with any bundler or none at all.
 
 ## Install
 
-Install the type definitions with npm:
 ```bash
 npm install @girs/gdl-3
 ```
 
-## Usage
+Any package manager works. The package has no dependencies beyond other `@girs/*`
+type packages.
+
+## What it exports
+
+| Import | What you get |
+|---|---|
+| `@girs/gdl-3` | the namespace as a default export, plus the ambient and global declarations |
+| `@girs/gdl-3/ambient` | only the `gi://` module declarations |
+| `@girs/gdl-3/import` | only the `imports.gi` declarations |
+| `@girs/gdl-3/gdl-3` | the namespace, without the side-effecting declarations |
+| `@girs/gdl-3/vocabulary` | GIR-derived widget data: settable properties, enum nicks, slot candidates |
+
+## Three ways to import
+
+Which one you use depends on how you write imports elsewhere, not on your toolchain.
+
+### As a module
 
-Import it like any other module:
 ```ts
 import Gdl from '@girs/gdl-3';
 ```
 
-### Ambient Modules
+### As `gi://`
 
-[Ambient modules](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir/tree/main/packages/cli#ambient-modules) let you write the same import you would in plain JavaScript.
-For this you need to include `@girs/gdl-3` or `@girs/gdl-3/ambient` in your `tsconfig` or entry point Typescript file:
+GJS resolves `gi://` at runtime. To give it types, reference the package once, either
+from your entry point or from `tsconfig.json`:
 
-`index.ts`:
 ```ts
-import '@girs/gdl-3'
+import '@girs/gdl-3';
 ```
 
-`tsconfig.json`:
 ```json
-{
-  "compilerOptions": {
-    ...
-  },
-  "include": ["@girs/gdl-3"],
-  ...
-}
+{ "include": ["@girs/gdl-3"] }
 ```
 
-The ambient module now resolves with types:
+Then the runtime spelling type-checks:
 
 ```ts
 import Gdl from 'gi://Gdl?version=3';
 ```
 
-### Global import
+Referencing `@girs/gdl-3/ambient` instead pulls in these declarations
+alone. See [ambient modules](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir/tree/main/packages/cli#ambient-modules).
+
+### As `imports.gi`
 
-GJS's global `imports.gi` works too, with types.
-For this you need to include `@girs/gdl-3` or `@girs/gdl-3/import` in your `tsconfig` or entry point Typescript file:
+GJS's global object works the same way, via `@girs/gdl-3/import`:
 
-`index.ts`:
 ```ts
-import '@girs/gdl-3'
+const Gdl = imports.gi.Gdl;
 ```
 
-`tsconfig.json`:
-```json
-{
-  "compilerOptions": {
-    ...
-  },
-  "include": ["@girs/gdl-3"],
-  ...
-}
-```
+## Widget vocabulary
 
-That form carries types as well:
+`gdl-3` declares widgets, so it also carries what the GIR says about them, as
+types and as values a test can read:
 
 ```ts
-const Gdl = imports.gi.Gdl;
+import type { Widgets, PropsOf } from '@girs/gdl-3/vocabulary';
+import { OWN_PROPS, ENUM_NICKS, PROVENANCE } from '@girs/gdl-3/vocabulary';
 ```
 
-### Bundle
+Properties are keyed the way GObject registered them, writable-only and optional, so they
+match `g_object_set`, GtkBuilder XML and Blueprint. `PROVENANCE.libraryVersion` names the
+library release this was generated from, which lets a check tell "newer than what is
+installed" from "wrong".
 
-Most projects want a bundler. [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/) is the smallest thing that works; the [examples directory](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir/tree/main/examples) has setups for several others.
+This subpath answers what the GIR says, not what the installed library has. For the
+second question, ask the library.
+
+## Building
+
+The declarations need no build step. If you bundle, every bundler works, since there is
+no runtime code to resolve. The [examples](https://github.com/gjsify/ts-for-gir/tree/main/examples)
+show working setups for several.
 
 ## Other packages
 
-All existing pre-generated packages can be found on [gjsify/types](https://github.com/gjsify/types).

+ * The GIR-derived widget VOCABULARY for Gdl-3.
+ *
+ * GENERATED — do not edit. Provenance: Gdl-3 — dropped empty base(s): GObject.InitiallyUnowned GObject.Object Atk.ImplementorIface — prop(s) no TypeScript value satisfies: Gdl.DockObject.pixbuf-icon
+ *
+ * 12 concrete widgets, 12 declarations, 3 enum nick unions, 4 slot candidates.
+ *
+ * Module-scoped exports only. There is no `JSX` namespace here, no tag spelling and
+ * no `on<Signal>` prop name: those are DIALECT, and every framework answers them
+ * differently. The shape to avoid is the GLOBAL AUGMENT — a `declare global` on
+ * `React.JSX` collides with every other library on a shared tag — while a
+ * module-scoped `JSX` behind a `jsxImportSource` does not. This package is used by
+ * projects that want nothing to do with JSX, so it emits neither; a consumer declaring
+ * a module-scoped namespace over these names is doing it right.
+ *
+ * Three things this is and `ConstructorProps` is not: WRITABLE-only (measured on
+ * Gtk-4.0, `ConstructorProps` offers 150 read-only properties across 68 classes as
+ * settable, and GTK's failure mode for writing one is exit 0), OPTIONAL, and keyed
+ * by the name GObject actually REGISTERED — the dashed spelling `g_object_set`,
+ * GtkBuilder XML and Blueprint all use.
+ *
+ * Signal handler types are not re-derived: `X.SignalSignatures`, which this package
+ * already emits for every class with the parent chain, every implemented interface
+ * and the `notify::` keys folded in, is what `Widgets[G]['signals']` points at.

+ * here is newer than the one running.
+ *
+ * ALL THREE key shapes, because that test only works for the names it covers. A
+ * property-only map leaves a consumer no way to explain a missing SIGNAL, which is
+ * a correct vocabulary reported as 18 defects; a member-only map leaves it no way to
+ * explain a missing CLASS, and that one fails as a bare
+ * `TypeError: can't access property "$gtype", ctor() is undefined` that does not
+ * even name the GType.
+ *
+ * A key is present only where the GIR states a version — sparse by nature (`version`
+ * sits on 29 of the 301 classes and interfaces in Gtk-4.0), never inferred.
