 ## State lives in the app
 
 `Workbench` is declarative and the collapse is **pure CSS** — no wire. The app

+animates itself. Panels are fixed-size by default; a panel can opt in to drag
+and keyboard resizing (see [Resizable panels](#resizable-panels)), and
+`wireWorkbench` can make overlay panels transient (see
+[Transient overlays](#transient-overlays)).
+
+A collapsed panel renders `inert` and `aria-hidden="true"` on the rail or
+drawer itself, and `inert` on its content, straight from `collapsed`, so
+neither Tab nor assistive technology reaches controls that have slid out of
+view, none of them can scroll back into view, and no empty labeled landmark
+stays behind. The slide-out still animates,
+and the panel's `restoreControl` lives outside the inert content, so it stays
+reachable. Expanding the panel makes its content reachable again in the same
+render. When the panel closes with focus inside it, `wireWorkbench` (given the
+panel's `collapsed` signal) moves focus back out (see
+[Transient overlays](#transient-overlays)); without it, that focus move is the
+app's.

+visible as an application-controlled state, such as a drop target. Keyboard
+focus shows the same ring. Each rail or drawer accepts its own `tabIndex` and
+`outlined`; a collapsed or hidden panel cannot become a Tab stop and its

+same options to an inner Pane when that is the intended focus owner. Give

+regions use their `label`.
+
+Each static `WorkbenchPanel` takes `content`, an optional `toolbar` and `footer` (see
+[Panel toolbars](#panel-toolbars)), an optional `collapsed`, an optional

-an optional `label`.
+an optional `label`. Common shell behavior is configured rather than restyled:
+
+- `separator: "auto" | "hidden"` controls the owned dock-edge separator;
+- `collapseMotion: "slide" | "fade-slide" | "none"` keeps the track change
+  instant while choosing composited content motion;
+- `contentOverflow: "clip" | "auto" | "visible"` chooses the resting overflow
+  policy. An open descendant `PopupMenu` or Web Awesome dropdown temporarily
+  releases rail/drawer clipping and raises its popup layer automatically;
+- `presentation: "inline" | "overlay" | "hidden"` supports compact overlays
+  or a responsive replacement. An overlay rail spans the Workbench height at
+  its side and an overlay drawer spans the work-area column at the bottom,
+  each exactly at its configured size (its separator border included, as in
+  flow) up to the viewport-relative overlay maximum; the content fills the
+  panel inside its border, so it is clamped with it;
+- `overlayBackdrop` on the Workbench opts in to a `--kui-color-scrim` backdrop
+  whenever a static or responsive rail/drawer overlay is open. It sits below
+  the panel and above the work area, absorbs an outside press, and lets
+  `wireWorkbench` close the overlay without activating the control underneath.
+  It is off by default; without it, the compact rail's dismiss strip remains
+  transparent. Pair it with `wireWorkbench` for outside-press dismissal;
+- `responsiveOverlayAt: "narrow" | "compact" | "never" | number` presents a rail or the
+  bottom drawer as an overlay below a Workbench container breakpoint — 704px
+  or less for `narrow`, 448px or less for `compact`, the breakpoints of
+  `ResizableRegion`'s `responsiveFillAt` — and inline above it. A positive
+  number such as `1024` uses that many CSS pixels of Workbench width. Numeric
+  thresholds require `wireWorkbench` with that panel's `collapsed` signal;
+  its resize observer applies the overlay layout and the collapse/restore
+  transition together. **Rails
+  default to `narrow`**, so on a small screen a sidebar covers the work area
+  (and an open drawer) instead of squeezing it; pass `never` to keep a rail
+  inline. The drawer stays inline unless it opts in. On a compact (448px or
+  less) Workbench an overlay rail fills the Workbench less a dismiss strip on
+  the side away from its edge — `--kui-workbench-overlay-dismiss-margin`,
+  44px, one touch target — so a press beside it closes it;
+  `compactOverlay: "full"` (per rail) fills the Workbench instead, which
+  usually wants app-level handling of its own. Pass each rail's `collapsed`
+  signal to `wireWorkbench` so only one overlay is open at a time and a press
+  outside closes it. The CSS
+  decides, so the app needs no `deviceClass` check for presentation; a
+  collapsed overlay drops its surface and shadow so nothing covers the work
+  area, and the work area keeps the safe-area inset of the edge the overlay
+  covers. When overlays meet, the order is fixed rather than by which opened
+  last: both rails stack above the drawer, as inline rails span the
+  Workbench's full height beside the drawer's column, and the right rail
+  stacks above the left. Rails take `--kui-workbench-overlay-z` (41) and the
+  drawer one less. Restore controls take `--kui-workbench-restore-z`, which
+  defaults to two less than the overlay z-index (39), so they sit beneath
+  every overlay: an open overlay covers another panel's restore control as
+  it covers the rest of the work area, and a collapsed overlay, which drops
+  its pointer events, leaves the control beneath it usable. While a rail
+  overlay is open (static, or a responsive one whose breakpoint applies), the
+  work area's floating controls — restore corners and any `FloatingToolbar`
+  in `main` — are also hidden outright (out of the tab order and the
+  accessibility tree), so they can never paint over the rail whatever
+  stacking context the app gives the work area; they return as it closes.
+  The rail's own floating controls stay, and a drawer overlay hides nothing;
+- `restoreControl` places an application-owned restore affordance in a
+  corner of the Workbench itself while the panel is collapsed. Prefer a
+  `toolbar.toggle`, which the Workbench relocates for you; keep
+  `restoreControl` for a custom affordance. `restorePosition` chooses the
+  corner, inset by
+  `--kui-workbench-restore-inset` (16px) plus the unsafe area of each edge the
+  corner reaches. A rail's control sits in the Workbench's corner; the
+  drawer's sits in the corner of the work-area column it restores into, so it
+  never lands on an expanded rail. A collapsed rail's control floats the
+  same inset above the top edge of an expanded inline bottom drawer, which
+  spans the column reaching that corner once the rail collapses, so it never
+  covers the drawer's content; it returns to the corner when the drawer
+  collapses (the drawer publishes its edge as a CSS anchor scoped to its own
+  Workbench; without anchor positioning the control keeps the corner). An
+  overlay drawer publishes no edge: an open one covers the control, as every
+  open overlay does. Because it is anchored to the Workbench
+  rather than the viewport, an embedded Workbench never floats it over page
+  chrome outside it, and it scrolls with the Workbench. Compose it from the
+  package controls — a `single` `ToolbarControlGroup` around one icon button
+  carrying `collapsiblePanelToggleIcon(side, true)` — rather than a bare
+  button. To give it `FloatingToolbar`'s toolbar role and floating look, wrap
+  that group in a `FloatingToolbar` whose `position` matches the corner: the
+  corner owns the inset (it zeroes the toolbar's default inset), so omit
+  `inset` there and the toolbar floats from the corner instead of doubling it.
+
+- `resizable: true | { min, max }` opts the panel in to drag and keyboard
+  resizing, driven by `wireWorkbench` (off by default).
+
+The same policy props are available on `ResizableRegion` and
+`CollapsiblePanel`, so a resizable application shell does not need to reach
+into `.kui-resizable-region__content`.
+
+## Panel toolbars
+
+A panel with `navStack` hosts a controlled `NavStack` in place of the static
+`content` and `Pane` slots. Give it a `toolbar` with a `toggle`; each
+`navStack.views` entry then supplies its own structured `toolbar` with a title
+and leading/center/trailing groups, optional `header` / `footer` and `pane`
+configuration, and scrolling `content`. The active view's toolbar is
+the panel's only toolbar row, with the standard toggle always last. On
+collapse, marked groups from the active view and the toggle relocate to the
+work-area toolbar; the view stack stays mounted. The app owns the view array
+and calls `wireNavStack` for animated push/pop and focus movement. See
+[Navigation stack](nav-stack.md) and the catalog's navigation ticket rail.
+
+```tsx
+<Workbench
+  id="tickets"
+  label="Tickets workspace"
+  main={<Workspace />}
+  rightRail={{
+    label: "Tickets",
+    collapsed: ticketsCollapsed.value,
+    toolbar: { toggle: { action: "toggle-tickets", name: "tickets" } },
+    navStack: { id: "ticket-stack", label: "Tickets", views: ticketViews.value },
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+A panel's controls follow it open and closed when the Workbench composes the
+toolbars. Give a panel a `toolbar` and the work area a `mainToolbar` (and, for
+a drawer, optionally a `mainBottomToolbar`); the Workbench renders each as a
+standard `Toolbar` over a `Pane`, and moves groups between them as panels open
+and close. A panel's `toolbar` has these parts:
+
+- `title` — the panel's `ToolbarText` (the quiet default size in a rail).
+- `leading`, `center`, and `trailing` — the open panel's toolbar zones. Put
+  `ToolbarControlGroup`s in any order in these zones. Mark a group with
+  `relocateOnCollapse` to make it available in the work area while the panel
+  is closed; unmarked groups remain in the inert panel. Pass marked groups
+  directly or in arrays, including nested arrays, rather than JSX fragments
+  so their render-time annotation remains available.
+- `toggle: { action, name, showLabel?, hideLabel? }` — the standard collapse
+  toggle, which the Workbench renders: the per-side panel glyph,
+  `aria-controls` naming the panel, `aria-expanded`, a "Show …"/"Hide …"
+  label (or your localized `showLabel` / `hideLabel`), and the `data-action`
+  the app handles. It is always the last group.
+
+While a panel is closed, marked groups follow their open-panel zone order
+(`leading`, `center`, `trailing`), followed by its toggle:
+
+| Panel         | Where they go                                                                                                   |
+| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Left rail     | The leading edge of `mainToolbar`, before its `title`                                                           |
+| Right rail    | The trailing edge of `mainToolbar`, after its `trailing` groups, so the toggle is the toolbar's last group      |
+| Bottom drawer | The trailing edge of `mainBottomToolbar`; without one, a `FloatingToolbar` in the work area's bottom-end corner |
+
+A rail with no `mainToolbar` floats its groups in its corner the same way, so
+a closed panel can always be reopened. An open overlay panel carries its own
+toggle, so it never depends on a control it covers. An app's own
+`restoreControl` still wins over the floating fallback.
+
+```tsx
+<Workbench
+  id="studio"
+  label="Studio"
+  mainToolbar={{ label: "Editor", title: <ToolbarText text="Editor" size="xlarge" /> }}
+  main={<Editor />}
+  leftRail={{
+    label: "Navigator",
+    toolbar: {
+      label: "Navigator",
+      title: <ToolbarText text="Navigator" />,
+      leading: <NewFileGroup />,
+      trailing: <ToolbarControlGroup relocateOnCollapse label="Search files"><SearchButton /></ToolbarControlGroup>,
+      toggle: { action: "toggle-navigator", name: "navigator" },
+    },
+    content: <Files />,
+    collapsed: navCollapsed.value,
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+The work area's `Pane` can carry more fixed chrome: `mainHeader` renders under
+`mainToolbar` (supporting copy) and `mainFooter` over `mainBottomToolbar` (a status
+line or a resource toolbar), each divided from the scrolling `main`.
+`mainHeaderPlacement` and `mainFooterPlacement` (`"fixed"` by default, or
+`"scroll"`) let that header or footer chrome scroll away with `main` instead —
+useful where large text would leave pinned chrome little room. `"auto"` keeps
+it pinned while the work area is tall enough and lets it scroll with `main`
+when the work area is short (the Pane's `chromePlacement="auto"`; it applies to
+the pinned header and footer together).
+
+A toolbar panel has the same fixed chrome sequence: `toolbar`, optional
+`header`, scrolling `content`, optional `footer`, and optional
+`bottomToolbar`. `header` sits below the panel toolbar, so an inspector can
+keep its title, notices, and section tabs visible while its detail content
+scrolls in the one `Pane` scroll owner. `headerList` and `footerList` configure
+their `List` wrappers. `headerPlacement` and `footerPlacement` accept
+`"fixed"` (default), `"scroll"`, or `"auto"` with the same behavior as the
+work area's placement props. The panel's bottom toolbar renders a semantic
+`footer`. These panel slots apply only when the panel has a `toolbar`; a panel
+without one continues to render `content` as supplied.
+
+Every toolbar the Workbench composes — `mainToolbar`, `mainBottomToolbar`, and
+each panel's `toolbar` — takes the `Toolbar`'s configuration (`ToolbarConfig`):
+`dividerSides`, `centerAlign`, `responsive`, `responsiveAt`, and
+`safeAreaEdges`. Configure the toolbar through these props rather than styling
+it. No toolbar draws a divider by default: each `Pane` draws one line under
+its header chrome and one over its footer chrome, wherever that chrome ends,
+only while its content is scrolled beneath it (see
+[Scroll dividers](./layout.md#scroll-dividers) — call `wireScrollDividers`
+once at the app root). Set `dividerSides` only for a permanent separator edge,
+or `chromeDividers: "always"` on the pane for a line that never hides.
+`responsive: "wrap"` keeps a long title whole and wraps its actions
+below it. `mainBottomToolbar` also takes a `center`. A panel's
+`restorePosition` also places its floating restore controls.
+
+The `Pane`s and `List`s the Workbench composes around your content are
+configurable the same way:
+
+- `mainPane` (`PaneConfig`: `contentElement`, `contentLabel`, `separators`,
+  `safeAreaEdges`, `chromeDividers`, `appearance`) configures the work area's
+  `Pane`, which exists whenever the work area has a toolbar, `mainHeader`, or
+  `mainFooter`. Without that chrome, `appearance: "sunken"` paints the main
+  region's own scroll surface;
+- a panel's `pane` configures the `Pane` a `toolbar` panel's `content` renders
+  in — for example `{ contentElement: "nav", contentLabel: "Files" }` for a
+  navigator rail. Without a toolbar, `appearance: "sunken"` paints the panel
+  scroll region;
+- `mainHeaderList` / `mainFooterList` and a panel's `headerList` /
+  `footerList` (`ListConfig`: `gap`, `hAlign`,
+  `vAlign`, `dividerSides`, `textInsets`, `controlInsets`) configure the
+  `List`s holding `mainHeader` / `mainFooter`.
+
+An omitted or `undefined` field keeps the default, including the scroll
+dividers described above.
+
+Size a rail so its title and groups fit at its narrowest (a resizable rail's
+`min`); a toolbar that cannot hold them drops the title rather than
+truncating it. Relocated content renders in both places while the panel is
+closed (the panel's copy is inert), so give it no `id`s. With `wireWorkbench`
+given the panel's `collapsed` signal, focus follows the toggle: closing a
+panel from its own toggle focuses the relocated toggle in the work area, and
+opening it from there focuses the panel's own toggle. A panel's optional
+`footer` renders below its content, for a sidebar's bottom toolbar. Without a
+`toolbar` or `mainToolbar`, `content` and `main` render exactly as given.
+
+## Resizable panels
+
+Resizing is **opt-in per panel**. Give a panel `resizable` — `true` for the
+default limits (rails 180–480px, drawer 120–480px) or `{ min, max }` — and
+render its `size` from an app-owned signal. The panel then owns a separator on
+its inner edge (the left rail's end, the right rail's start, the drawer's top)
+with the same focusable `role="separator"` contract as a `ResizableRegion`
+handle. `wireWorkbench` drives it:
+
+```tsx
+import { wireWorkbench } from "@kerfjs/ui/wire-workbench";
+
+const navSize = signal(280);
+const consoleSize = signal(200);
+
+<Workbench
+  id="studio"
+  label="Studio"
+  main={<Editor />}
+  mainMinSize={320} // the default: the editor never drops below 320px wide
+  mainMinHeight={120} // the default: the drawer leaves it 120px of height
+  leftRail={{
+    content: <Navigator />,
+    label: "Navigator",
+    collapsed: navCollapsed.value,
+    size: navSize.value,
+    resizable: { min: 200, max: 420 },
+    responsiveOverlayAt: "narrow", // an overlay when the Workbench is 704px or narrower
+  }}
+  bottomDrawer={{
+    content: <Console />,
+    label: "Console",
+    size: consoleSize.value,
+    resizable: true,
+  }}
+/>;
+
+// once, after mount:
+const stop = wireWorkbench(root, {
+  id: "studio",
+  panels: {
+    leftRail: {
+      size: navSize,
+      storageKey: "studio.nav-width",
+      collapsed: navCollapsed, // a transient overlay: takes focus, closes on Escape / outside press
+    },
+    bottomDrawer: { size: consoleSize, storageKey: "studio.console-height" },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+- **Pointer:** dragging the separator resizes the panel live (the wire marks
+  the rail or drawer `data-resizing` and suppresses its content transform
+  transition) and commits the final size to the signal on release.
+- **Keyboard:** focus the separator; arrow keys resize by `step` (16px),
+  Shift+arrow by `largeStep` (64px), Home/End jump to `min`/`max`. The
+  separator's `aria-valuenow`/`aria-valuemin`/`aria-valuemax` report the size
+  and limits.
+- **Limits:** every size — dragged, typed, restored from storage, or passed
+  by the app — is clamped to `min`/`max` when rendered.
+- **Work-area minimum:** beside its inline rails, fixed or resizable, the work
+  area keeps at least `mainMinSize` px of width (a `Workbench` prop, default
+  320; `0` turns it off), and above an inline bottom drawer at least
+  `mainMinHeight` px of height (default 120; `0` turns it off). A dragged or
+  keyed rail stops growing where the work area would drop below its width,
+  and the drawer where it would drop below its height, so wide rails or a tall
+  drawer cannot crowd out the editor; `aria-valuemax` reports that reachable
+  maximum. When the Workbench itself narrows, the rails shrink in proportion
+  to their sizes, and when it gets shorter the drawer shrinks (their content
+  follows the shown size) while the work area holds its minimum; a squeezed
+  panel can still be made smaller, never larger, and never below its own
+  `min`. Two fixed 280px rails in a 720px Workbench show 200px each rather
+  than leaving the editor 160px. Each minimum applies only to a Workbench with a
+  panel on its axis, and never exceeds the Workbench itself.
+- **Squeezed below `min`:** when the Workbench is too narrow for a rail's
+  `min` beside the work-area minimum, the rail shows less than its `min` (a
+  172px Navigator whose `min` is 180). Its separator then reports that shown
+  width in `aria-valuenow`, and `aria-valuemin`/`aria-valuemax` pin to the
+  same value: the WAI-ARIA window splitter's value is the separator's actual
+  position, and the range must contain it, so a screen reader hears the width
+  on screen rather than a configured limit the layout cannot honor — and a
+  range that does not move, because the separator cannot move a rail the
+  container holds. A pinned separator commits nothing: arrow keys, Home/End,
+  and drags leave the rail's remembered size (and its storage) alone, so a
+  rail remembered at 280px returns at 280px, with the configured range, once
+  there is room.
+- **Small Workbenches:** inline panels have no shrink floor of their own, by
+  design; the work area's minimums win, so in a very small Workbench a rail or
+  the drawer can become a sliver. Do not add your own `min-width` /
+  `min-height` to hold a panel open. Give the panel
+  `responsiveOverlayAt: "narrow"` (704px of Workbench width or less) or
+  `"compact"` (448px or less) instead: below that breakpoint it presents as a
+  full-size overlay over the work area rather than squeezing beside it (see
+  the catalog's resizable and responsive-drawer Workbench examples).
+  A numeric value measures the Workbench container, not the viewport. If the
+  app has no numeric Workbench breakpoint, the overlay wiring does not measure
+  the Workbench on ordinary panel updates. For numeric breakpoints the wiring
+  mirrors the active panel state onto the Workbench root, keeping work-area
+  styles local to actual overlay transitions. If the rest of an app switches
+  by viewport width and its Workbench can be narrower
+  than the viewport, keep the app's viewport decision in
+  `presentation: "overlay"` and pass its `collapsed` signals to
+  `wireWorkbench`. On entering that mode, collapse the panels; after leaving,
+  restore their preferred inline state once the inline presentation has
+  rendered, so exclusive overlay handling cannot close a sibling rail.
+- **Collapse:** `collapsed` never changes a size. A collapsed panel keeps its
+  size (its content slides out at that width), its separator leaves the tab
+  order, and expanding it returns it at the size it had.
+- **Persistence:** with a `storageKey`, the size is loaded from `storage`
+  (default `localStorage`) at wire-up and saved on every change, like
+  `wireSidebar`'s collapsed state.
+- **Overlays never resize:** an overlay or hidden panel — including a rail
+  whose `responsiveOverlayAt` breakpoint currently applies — hides its
+  separator and is never resizable, and it leaves the work-area minimum to the
+  rails still in flow. With `responsiveOverlayAt` no device check is needed;
+  otherwise pass `deviceClass` and resizing is suspended while `compact` is
+  true, where rails present as overlay drawers or are replaced.
+- `wireWorkbench` drives only the panels it is given, matched by the
+  Workbench `id`, so it never double-drives a `ResizableRegion` (or another
+  Workbench) under the same root. `onResize({ panel, size, source })` reports
+  each committed resize.
+
+## Transient overlays
+
+An overlay panel covers the work area, so it should open only when the user
+asks for it and close as easily as it opened. Give `wireWorkbench` a panel's
+app-owned `collapsed` signal (`size` is optional, so a panel need not be
+resizable) and it treats the panel as a transient overlay whenever it
+presents as one, mirroring `wireSidebar`'s compact overlay:
+
+- **Collapsed on entering the breakpoint:** when a panel's
+  `responsiveOverlayAt` breakpoint begins to apply — at wire-up, when the
+  Workbench first renders, or when it narrows across the breakpoint — the
+  wiring remembers the panel's inline `collapsed` state and collapses it, so
+  nothing covers the work area until the user opens it. When the breakpoint
+  stops applying (and on disposal) the remembered inline state comes back.
+  These presentation changes skip the collapse motion.
+- **Focus moves in, and Tab stays in:** a panel that opens while it presents
+  as an overlay takes focus on its first focusable control (typically the
+  close control in its header), because it covers the work area and the
+  control that opened it. While it is open, Tab and Shift+Tab cycle through
+  its controls and never reach the covered work area; Escape, its own close
+  control, or an outside press leaves it. This is the ARIA dialog pattern
+  `wireSidebar`'s compact overlay follows. A panel opening inline never moves
+  focus.
+- **Escape** closes the open overlay panel that holds focus, else the most
+  recently opened one. An Escape another handler already handled
+  (`defaultPrevented`) is left alone.
+- **Outside press:** a pointer press that starts and ends outside an open
+  overlay panel closes it. The app's own toggle still works: its click closes
+  the panel before the wiring looks, and the press that opens a panel never
+  closes it. For a body-level menu, dialog, or other portal opened from a
+  panel, set that panel's `keepOpenOn: (target) => target === portalRoot` in
+  `wireWorkbench`. The predicate receives each node in the press's composed
+  path, so matching the portal root keeps the panel open when the press starts
+  or ends anywhere inside the portal. Escape and Tab inside that portal remain
+  with its own keyboard handler. Other outside presses still close the panel.
+- **Focus:** when a panel closes with focus inside it — whatever closed it,
+  including the app's own control inside the panel — focus returns to the
+  control that had it when the panel opened (typically its toggle; one inside
+  another panel that has closed since is skipped), else to
+  the first focusable control in the panel's `restoreControl`, else to a
+  focusable control outside the panel whose `aria-controls` names the panel
+  (or an element inside it). The last is what a panel already open at
+  wire-up relies on, since nothing opened it: give the app's toggle
+  `aria-controls` naming the panel. A pointer press inside the panel that
+  drops focus to the page counts as focus inside: Safari never focuses a
+  clicked button, so pressing the panel's own Hide control blurs the focused
+  control before the click closes it, and focus still returns. Focus the user
+  has moved to another element since is left alone. Each panel's `id` derives from the
+  Workbench's — `<id>-left-rail`, `<id>-right-rail`, `<id>-bottom-drawer`:
+
+  ```tsx
+  <button
+    data-action="toggle-navigator"
+    aria-controls="editor-left-rail"
+    aria-expanded={String(!navCollapsed.value)}
+    aria-label={navCollapsed.value ? "Show navigator" : "Hide navigator"}
+  >
+    <LucideIcon {...collapsiblePanelToggleIcon("left", navCollapsed.value)} />
+  </button>
+  ```
+
+An open overlay can cover the control that opened it: a narrow Workbench's
+right-rail overlay spans the full height at the end edge, over the trailing
+end of the work area's toolbar, where its toggle usually sits. Escape and an
+outside press still close it, but neither is a visible, pointer-reachable
+control. So give every panel that may present as an overlay its own close
+control, as a `CollapsiblePanel` puts its collapse toggle in its own header:
+render the panel content as a `Pane` whose header `Toolbar` holds the title
+and a `single`, borderless `ToolbarControlGroup` around one icon button
+carrying `collapsiblePanelToggleIcon(side, false)`. The work area's toggle
+stays the always-visible way to show the panel. The catalog's resizable
+example does this for both rails.
+
+The drawer works the same way. The catalog's responsive overlay drawer
+example is the whole pattern for a bottom drawer:
+
+```tsx
+const outputCollapsed = signal(false); // open inline by default
+
+<Workbench
+  id="editor"
+  label="Editor"
+  main={<Editor />} // its toolbar toggles `outputCollapsed`
+  bottomDrawer={{
+    label: "Output",
+    content: <OutputPane />, // a Pane whose header holds its close control
+    collapsed: outputCollapsed.value,
+    size: 180,
+    responsiveOverlayAt: "narrow",
+  }}
+/>;
+
+wireWorkbench(root, {
+  id: "editor",
+  panels: { bottomDrawer: { collapsed: outputCollapsed } },
+});
+```
+
+Above 704px of Workbench width the drawer takes its own track below the
+editor. At 704px or less it overlays the bottom of the full-height editor,
+starts hidden, and closes from its own header, on Escape, or on a press
+outside it; widening the Workbench again brings it back inline in the state
+it had before.
+
+Escape and outside-press dismissal apply to static `presentation: "overlay"`
+panels too; entering and leaving the collapsed state around a breakpoint is
+only for `responsiveOverlayAt`, because a static presentation is the app's
+choice. Inline panels are never touched. Pass `dismissOverlays: false` to
+leave every `collapsed` write, and all focus handling, to the app.
+
+Overlays are exclusive by default, like `wireSidebar`'s compact overlays:
+opening a panel while it presents as an overlay closes every other open
+overlay panel, the bottom drawer included. At a narrow width two rails are
+wider than the Workbench, so without this the right rail would cover the
+navigator's own close control. Panels presenting inline are never closed by
+it, so a wide Workbench keeps both rails open. Pass `exclusiveOverlays: false`
+to let overlays stay open together; they then stack in the fixed order above,
+and Tab stays in the one that holds focus (else the most recently opened
+one).
+
+Where the browser supports `overflow-clip-margin`, the 20px hit target
+straddles the panel's separator line like a `ResizableRegion` handle;
+elsewhere it sits just inside the panel's inner edge, because the panel clips
+its sliding content.
+
+## Resizable application-shell migration
+
+An application such as Hot Sheet can replace its shell descendant overrides
+with state-derived props:
+
+```tsx
+<ResizableRegion
+  id="terminal-drawer"
+  label="Terminal drawer"
+  axis="vertical"
+  edge="start"
+  size={drawerSize.value}
+  min={180}
+  max={520}
+  collapsed={!drawerVisible.value}
+  separator={magnified.value ? "hidden" : "auto"}
+  collapseMotion="fade-slide"
+  presentation={mobile.value ? "overlay" : "inline"}
+  restoreControl={
+    <ToolbarControlGroup label="Terminals" single>
+      <button data-action="show-drawer" aria-label="Show terminals">
+        <LucideIcon {...collapsiblePanelToggleIcon("bottom", true)} />
+      </button>
+    </ToolbarControlGroup>
+  }
+>
+  <TerminalDrawer />
+</ResizableRegion>
+```
+
+`wireResizableRegions` marks the active region with `data-resizing` and the
+package CSS suppresses content motion during pointer resize. It applies the
+live size to both the track and the slide-motion content, so content fills the
+region throughout a drag, including any safe-area edge extent, and a later
+collapse slides it out at the resized width. A collapsed,
+overlay, or hidden region is not resizeable. Together these policies replace
+app CSS for separator suppression, instant-track/composited-content collapse,
+popup overflow, mobile overlay/hidden replacement, resize-transition guards,
+and safe-area restore placement. A descendant `PopupMenu` or Web Awesome
+dropdown with `open` releases clipping for its lifecycle, so menu events need
+not rerender the region. The app still owns the other signals and decides when
+each policy applies.
+
+## Public styling boundary
+
+The component subpath's browser build loads `workbench.css`; import
+`@kerfjs/ui/workbench.css` manually only without the `browser` condition. Applications may
+set `--kui-workbench-rail-width` and `--kui-workbench-drawer-height` on a
+Workbench instance. The supported composition classes are `.kui-workbench`,
+`.kui-workbench__rail`, `.kui-workbench__rail--left`,
+`.kui-workbench__rail--right`, `.kui-workbench__center`,
+`.kui-workbench__main`, `.kui-workbench__drawer`,
+`.kui-workbench__panel-content`, `.kui-workbench__handle`,
+`.kui-workbench__handle-icon`, and `.kui-workbench__restore`; these exact hooks are cataloged for tools that
+must classify public application selectors. Prefer the component props and two
+size tokens before selecting internal anatomy, and do not target its data
+attributes or descendant tags as styling contracts.
+
+## Safe areas
+
+Each rail and the drawer grows by the unsafe inset of the screen edge it docks
+to, so its surface and separator paint through while its content keeps the
+configured size and is padded for the edges it touches. The main area pads for
+the edges it reaches, inside its scroller: an expanded inline rail or drawer
+takes that edge away, and collapsing it (or presenting it as an overlay) hands
+the edge back. A region whose only child is a `Pane` or layout lets that child
+own the insets. See [Choosing an app layout › Safe areas](app-layouts.md#safe-areas).
+
+Workbench projects panel presentation, collapse, and responsive breakpoint
+state onto its own region attributes. Its stylesheet then matches those local
+attributes instead of searching descendants during list updates. It clears the
+edge context on each region, while a sole Pane or layout child receives the
+insets it owns. Applications still pass arbitrary `main` and panel content;
+they need no marker classes or extra wrappers.
 
 ## How the collapse animates
 
 Collapsing snaps the panel's flex track to zero in a single reflow (so the work
 area relayouts once, not per frame) while the panel's fixed-size content slides
 out via a composited `transform` — a rail slides horizontally, the drawer
-vertically — clipped by the shell's overflow. It honors `prefers-reduced-motion`
-(the slide collapses to instant). On smaller device classes, present the rails'
-contents through a `NavStack` or overlay drawers rather than shrinking the
-three-panel shell.
+vertically — clipped by the shell's overflow. The drawer content is positioned
+against the shell's stable bottom edge, so opening and closing move monotonically
+through the transform rather than inheriting a changing normal-flow origin. It
+honors `prefers-reduced-motion` (the slide collapses to instant). On smaller
+device classes, present the rails' contents through a `NavStack` or overlay
+drawers rather than shrinking the three-panel shell.
