-An ikas code components project.
-
-## Getting Started
-
-1. Install dependencies:
-   \`\`\`bash
-   npm install
-   \`\`\`
-
-2. Start the development server:
-   \`\`\`bash
-   npm run dev
-   \`\`\`
-
-3. Open the ikas editor and connect to the dev server from the Dev Components panel.
-
-## Commands
-
-- \`npm run dev\` - Start development server with live editor updates
-- \`npm run build\` - Build components for production
-- \`npm run add\` - Add a new component to the project

-
-## Sections vs Components
-
-There are two types of code components:
-
-- **Sections** are page-level, full-width containers (e.g. Header, Hero Banner, Footer).
-  Set \`"type": "section"\` on the component entry in \`ikas.config.json\`.
-- **Components** are child elements placed inside sections (e.g. buttons, cards, badges).
-  No \`type\` field needed — it defaults to \`"component"\`.
-
-## Adding Props
-
-Edit \`ikas.config.json\` to add props to your components. Available prop types:
-
-- \`TEXT\` - String input
-- \`NUMBER\` - Number input
-- \`BOOLEAN\` - Checkbox toggle
-- \`IMAGE\` - Image picker
-- \`LINK\` - Link/URL input
-- \`LIST_OF_LINK\` - List of navigation links
-- \`COLOR\` - Color picker
-- \`PRODUCT\` - Single product selector
-- \`PRODUCT_LIST\` - Multiple products selector
-- \`CATEGORY\` - Single category selector
-- \`CATEGORY_LIST\` - Multiple categories selector
-- \`BRAND\` - Single brand selector
-- \`BRAND_LIST\` - Multiple brands selector
-- \`BLOG\` - Single blog post selector
-- \`BLOG_LIST\` - Multiple blog posts selector
-
-## Building for Production
-
-Run \`npm run build\` to compile your components. The output will be ready to upload to the ikas editor.

-You are building **Preact + TypeScript components for an e-commerce storefront**.
-This project uses the ikas Code Components framework with an MCP server for API documentation.
-
-**ALWAYS query MCP tools before writing code that uses storefront APIs.**
-Never guess function signatures or type shapes — the MCP server is the source of truth.
-
-## CRITICAL: Auto-Generated Files
-
-**NEVER manually create or edit \`types.ts\` or \`global-types.ts\`** — they are auto-generated by CLI commands.
-Use \`npx ikas-component config add-component --props '[...]'\` or \`npx ikas-component config add-prop\` to manage props.
-These commands update \`ikas.config.json\`, \`types.ts\`, and \`global-types.ts\` automatically.
-
-## MCP Tools (12 tools)
-
-### Starting a New Section
-| Tool | Purpose |
-|------|---------|

-## Workflow: Building a New Section
-
-1. \`get_section_template("product-detail")\` → get starter files + CLI command with --props
-2. Run the CLI command (creates component + props + types.ts in one step)
-3. Write \`index.tsx\` and \`styles.css\` using the template (do NOT edit types.ts — it's already generated)
-4. Look up APIs → \`get_model_guide("IkasProduct")\`, \`get_function_doc("addItemToCart")\`
-5. \`npx ikas-component check --json\` → fix type errors
-6. \`npx ikas-component build\` → verify clean build
-
-## Sub-Component Structure
-
-**ALWAYS create sub-components in \`src/sub-components/\` with their own folder containing \`index.tsx\` and \`styles.css\`. NEVER create flat .tsx files inside a component folder.**

-\`\`\`
-
-**Key rules:**
-- \`src/components/\` = registered in ikas.config.json. \`src/sub-components/\` = internal helpers (NOT in ikas.config.json)
-- Sub-components do NOT have \`types.ts\` — define \`Props\` inline in \`index.tsx\`
-- Custom enum types are exported from \`src/global-types.ts\` (auto-generated). Sub-components can import them: \`import type { MyEnum } from "../../global-types";\`
-- CSS: use \`@import "../../sub-components/ProductCard/styles.css";\` in parent styles.css
-- TSX: use \`import ProductCard from "../../sub-components/ProductCard";\`
-- Sub-components that read MobX stores need \`observer()\`, others don't
-- Sub-components can be shared across multiple parent sections
-
-\`\`\`tsx
-// src/sub-components/ProductCard/index.tsx — inline Props, no types.ts
-import { IkasProduct, getSelectedProductVariant } from "@ikas/bp-storefront";
-
-interface Props { product: IkasProduct; }
-
-export default function ProductCard({ product }: Props) { ... }
-\`\`\`
-
-## Key Patterns
-
-### Component Exports & Reactivity
-\`\`\`tsx
-// Root components are automatically reactive — the ikas runtime wraps them in autorun().
-// Do NOT import or use observer() on root exports.
-import { Props } from "./types";
-
-export function MySection({ product }: Props) { ... }
-export default MySection;
-\`\`\`
-
-\`\`\`tsx
-// Only use observer() on extracted SUB-COMPONENTS that independently read MobX stores:
-import { observer } from "@ikas/component-utils";
-
-const CartBadge = observer(function CartBadge() {
-  const count = cartStore.order?.orderLineItems?.length ?? 0;
-  return <span>{count}</span>;
-});
-\`\`\`
-
-### Null Safety
-\`\`\`tsx
-// Storefront models can be null — always check before accessing
-if (!product) return null;
-const price = product.selectedVariant?.price?.formattedPrice ?? "";
-\`\`\`
-
-### Mutations
-\`\`\`tsx
-// Functions like addItemToCart() mutate the model in-place (MobX observable)
-// No need to capture return value — root components re-render automatically via autorun()
-await addItemToCart({ product });
-\`\`\`
-
-### COMPONENT & COMPONENT_LIST Props
-These props let you create **slot-based** architectures where store owners can drag child components into your section/component from the editor.
-
-- \`COMPONENT\` — a single child component slot (TS type: \`any\`)
-- \`COMPONENT_LIST\` — a list of child components (TS type: \`any\`)
-
-**Rendering:** Use the \`<IkasComponentRenderer>\` wrapper to render child components:
-\`\`\`tsx
-import { IkasComponentRenderer } from "@ikas/bp-storefront";
-import { Props } from "./types";
-
-export function MySection({ title, cardList, ...props }: Props) {
-  return (
-    <section>
-      <h2>{title}</h2>
-      <div className="cards">
-        {/* COMPONENT_LIST — render a list of child components */}
-        <IkasComponentRenderer
-          components={cardList as any[]}
-          parentProps={props}
-        />
-      </div>
-    </section>
-  );
-}
-export default MySection;
-\`\`\`
-
-**Key rules:**
-- Always pass \`parentProps={props}\` so child components can access parent data via dynamic values
-- Cast the prop value: \`components={myList as any[]}\` for COMPONENT_LIST, \`components={[myComp] as any[]}\` for COMPONENT
-- \`<IkasComponentRenderer>\` handles rendering, styling, and reactivity of child components automatically
-
-**Config example:**
-\`\`\`json
-{
-  "name": "cardList",
-  "displayName": "Card List",
-  "type": "COMPONENT_LIST"
-}
-\`\`\`
-
-### CSS Scoping
-All CSS is auto-scoped with \`.cc_{componentId}\` prefix. Write plain class names — they are scoped at build time.
-
-### Preact Event Handling
-Use \`onInput\` instead of \`onChange\` for text inputs (Preact behavior).
-
-### Import Source
-\`\`\`tsx
-import { addItemToCart, IkasProduct, IkasImage } from "@ikas/bp-storefront";
-\`\`\`
-
-## No Static Text Rule
-
-**CRITICAL: Never hardcode user-visible text in JSX.** All text strings (headings, button labels,
-empty states, loading messages, form labels) MUST be TEXT props with defaultValues.
-
-Wrong: \`<h1>Sign In</h1>\`
-Correct: \`<h1>{title}</h1>\` with \`title\` as TEXT prop (defaultValue: "Sign In")
-
-For button loading states, use two separate props:
-- \`submitButtonText\` (default: "Sign In")
-- \`submittingButtonText\` (default: "Signing in...")
-
-Group text props under a "Texts" propGroup when the component has 5+ props.
-
-## Sections vs Components
-
-- **Sections** = page-level, full-width containers (Header, Hero, Product Grid, Footer).
-  Set \`"type": "section"\` via CLI. Use \`<section>\` root element. Props interface: \`Props\`.
-  **Sections MUST always include a \`backgroundColor\` COLOR prop** (default: \`#ffffff\`).
-  Apply via inline style: \`style={backgroundColor ? { backgroundColor } : undefined}\`
-  Consider also adding \`textColor\` COLOR props for text elements directly on the section background.
-- **Components** = child elements placed inside sections (buttons, cards, badges).
-  Defaults to \`"component"\`. Use \`<div>\` root element. Props interface: \`Props\`.
-
-## Prop Groups
-
-Organize props into collapsible groups in the editor sidebar. Use prop groups when a component has 5+ props to improve UX.
-
-### Config Format
-- Define groups in \`propGroups\` array on the component in \`ikas.config.json\`
-- Assign props to groups via \`groupId\` on each prop
-- Groups can nest 1 level deep via \`children\`
-- Props without \`groupId\` appear ungrouped at root level
-- Group IDs must be unique within a component
-
-### CLI Commands
-- \`config add-prop-group --component "Name" --id content --name "Content"\` — create group
-- \`config add-prop-group --component "Name" --id colors --name "Colors" --parent style\` — create nested group
-- \`config add-prop --component "Name" --name title --displayName "Title" --type TEXT --group content\` — add prop to group
-- \`config update-prop --component "Name" --prop title --group colors\` — move prop to different group
-- \`config remove-prop-group --component "Name" --id content\` — remove group (props become ungrouped)
-
-### When to Use
-- 5+ props → group related props
-- Sections with content + style props → separate "Content" and "Appearance" groups
-- Complex sections → use nested groups (e.g., "Style" → "Colors", "Typography")
-
-## Workflow Addition
-
-When building a section with 5+ props, organize into prop groups after defining props:
-\`\`\`bash
-npx ikas-component config add-prop-group --component "Name" --id content --name "Content"
-npx ikas-component config update-prop --component "Name" --prop title --group content
-\`\`\`
-
-## Build Verification
-
-IMPORTANT: After completing any task, always run \`npx ikas-component build\` (or \`npm run build\`) to check for
-TypeScript and build errors. Fix any errors before considering the task done.

-        // Create .cursorrules for Cursor AI assistant
-        const cursorrules = `# ikas Code Components
-
-You are building **Preact + TypeScript components for an e-commerce storefront**.
-**ALWAYS query MCP tools before writing code that uses storefront APIs.**
-
-## CRITICAL: Auto-Generated Files
-
-**NEVER manually create or edit \`types.ts\` or \`global-types.ts\`** — they are auto-generated by CLI commands.
-Use \`npx ikas-component config add-component --props '[...]'\` or \`npx ikas-component config add-prop\` to manage props.
-These commands update \`ikas.config.json\`, \`types.ts\`, and \`global-types.ts\` automatically.
