 # Kudzu Releases
 
+## 0.7.16 - Build-time lazy state
+
+Kudzu 0.7.16 accepts the common React-shaped `useState(() => initialValue)` form when the initializer directly returns a serializable literal, lowering it into existing compiler-owned state with no browser component runtime.
+
+### New in 0.7.16
+
+- Anonymous synchronous zero-argument lazy initializers may directly return primitive, plain-object, or array literals.
+- The compiler lowers those functions before state analysis, so ordinary, repeated, imported, conditional, and keyed-row state reuse existing ownership paths.
+- Conditional removal still deletes owned state, and remount recreates a fresh clone of the serialized object or array initializer.
+- React migration imports and direct `@kudzujs/core` imports receive the same behavior and TypeScript inference.
+- Dynamic calls, captures, parameters, async or generator functions, named function expressions, and multi-statement bodies fail with source-located diagnostics.
+- Static routes remain JavaScript-free; lazy initializer functions are absent from generated component and browser modules.
+
+### Boundary
+
+This release evaluates no arbitrary user code at build time. Initializers must directly return data the compiler can already serialize. Lazy `useReducer` initialization and dynamic state factories remain unsupported.
+
+### Upgrade
+
+```bash
+npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.7.16
+```
+
+## 0.7.15 - Child state ownership
+
+Kudzu 0.7.15 gives repeated ordinary child components independent state and adds explicit state ownership to reactive conditional branches without introducing a browser component tree.
+
+### New in 0.7.15
+
+- Repeated same-file and relative-imported child components receive distinct concrete state IDs.
+- Shared generated handler modules retain per-element state maps and serializable prop captures, so one child update cannot mutate its sibling.
+- Reactive conditional descriptors record only state created directly by each branch.
+- Conditional removal unmounts DOM capabilities and deletes the active branch's owned state slots.
+- Re-entry recreates primitive, object, or array state from serialized initial values instead of restoring stale state.
+- Initially active branches reuse their pre-rendered state IDs rather than executing the child component a second time.
+- Nested condition owners remain independent, and existing route/layout, keyed-row, effect, and navigation ownership behavior is preserved.
+- Static sibling routes remain JavaScript-free; no component registry, hook dispatcher, or generic rerender loop is emitted.
+
+### Measured fixture
+
+The focused three-route fixture rendered repeated same-file and imported toggles plus conditional removal/re-entry. A clean local build measured approximately 270 ms and emitted 10,815 B raw JavaScript across the two interactive routes; the static sibling route emitted no script. Chrome verified sibling isolation, state deletion on removal, fresh remount values, and stable initial active-branch IDs.
+
+### Boundary
+
+This release owns direct state created while rendering ordinary conditional branches. Lazy `useState`/`useReducer` initialization, broader primitive prop dependencies, and additional callback/ref ownership remain fixture-driven work. Browser output still contains only state and DOM capabilities, never component functions.
+
+### Upgrade

+npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.7.15

 ## 0.7.14 - Intrinsic forwardRef
 
 Kudzu 0.7.14 preserves conventional direct `forwardRef()` component authoring while erasing the wrapper into build-time intrinsic output.

 Direct `clsx` calls over literal strings, numbers, arrays, object conditions, and conditional expressions are similarly lowered to ordinary concatenation and conditional expressions. The package import is erased, and dynamic classes continue through the existing binding compiler without serializing or shipping the `clsx` function.
 
+Repeated ordinary same-file and relative-imported child components execute independently at build time, so each `useState` call receives a distinct concrete state ID while shared native handler modules retain per-element state maps and captures. Reactive conditional descriptors own state created by their direct branch: initial visible output reuses the rendered template IDs, removal deletes those slots, and remount recreates them from serialized initial values. Static sibling routes and branches without local state add no ownership metadata, component function, hook dispatcher, or rerender loop.

 Reduced Zustand migration stores lower to one ordinary layout-lifetime state slot. The compiler accepts one exported `create(set => ({ data, ...actions }))` store with one serializable data property, direct property selectors, and synchronous capture-free actions using one-argument merge-form `set`; selected actions reuse the reducer-style functional update compiler, so same-turn calls observe current logical state and DOM writes still batch. The shared layout must initialize the store before route consumers, outside keyed rows. No Zustand import, store subscription runtime, React hook, or generic external-store capability is emitted.

 Same-file, directly exported same-file, and relative-imported component chains receiving a direct local-state array or keyed item are recursively specialized to intrinsic JSX before keyed-list analysis, so their component functions are not retained in the browser. A directly exported row may be reused across static and keyed JSX sites; export-list/default aliases and non-JSX references remain rejected. Missing destructured props use directly serializable primitive, plain-object, or array literal defaults during specialization. One final identifier rest binding may be expanded exactly once at the direct intrinsic root. Rows may own multiple direct-property child maps recursively, nested conditions, latest-item handlers, multiple directly serializable state slots, effects, and `null`-initialized object refs. Structural list sites and ancestor key paths scope hooks across updates and reorder and release them on removal. Handler modules are emitted only when a rendered descriptor references them. Direct JSON-safe primitive keyed-item dependencies subscribe each row record to its owning list commit and compare selected fields after `list-runtime.js` synchronously refreshes the row marker. Only changed rows rerun with the complete latest item; reorder compares equal and unrelated fields do nothing. Builds without item dependencies emit no item reader or list-state subscription code.
 
-Rendered collection selectors compile one-use aliases and inline `(item)` or `(item, index)` pipelines over local array state or supported static named imports. Supported selectors are pure `filter` with direct local-state reads, direct-property `flatMap`, and `Array.from` before a final keyed `map`; dependency commits re-evaluate the selector against the immutable build-time collection while field keys retain item identity and `key={index}` retains positional identity. Compiler-owned static filters over structural keyed rows validate source references and keys once, retain removed rows as detached prototypes, clone fresh restoration nodes, and insert only new runs without moving retained DOM. Specialized collection wrappers and keyed rows inline direct object-literal or calling-component `const` object prop spreads in source order and forward JSX children into intrinsic output. This route-specific path is compiled out elsewhere. Compiler-owned collection state is excluded from development snapshot restoration. Dynamic/computed prop spreads, arbitrary callbacks, mutation, asynchronous selectors, imported callback functions, prototype-sensitive reads, lazy/dynamic row state initializers, non-`null` or callback refs, and recursive component cycles fail during compilation.

 The reduced `useReducer` form reuses ordinary state slots and React's pure reducer contract. A direct dispatch in a compiled handler becomes a functional `set` whose reducer is bundled from a relative TypeScript module into that handler graph. Pure reducer-owned keyed lists reuse unchanged item identities for reorder, one removal, and append fast paths; ordinary `useState` lists retain full validation. One direct dispatch prop into a same-file or relative-imported synchronous component, including a direct keyed row, is specialized to intrinsic JSX at the call site, so its handler retains the parent reducer scope and no dispatch capture or child handler asset is emitted. A reducer row reads the latest item through the existing list scope and uses the same multiple serializable state, effect, condition, and object-ref specialization as other keyed rows. Relative TypeScript imports referenced inside that child handler receive collision-free call-site aliases and join the parent handler graph. One nested relative-imported intrinsic child may receive an inline or simple `const` callback containing dispatch; the compiler recursively substitutes that callback once and omits the nested child handler asset. Missing directly serializable literal defaults and direct intrinsic rest props in these reducer specializations are substituted at the same call site. Reducer-free routes and shared runtimes are unchanged; no reducer runtime or browser component instance exists.
