+# Building Blocks
+
+The interactive archetype's extension of the generic architecture (`docs/arc42/` at the root of
+`lernapps/app-templates`): an app whose doing is the content, with a static start page, one app page on which the
+shell runs the app's deterministic core and shows its state with the app's Vue components, and hash routes for modes
+and levels. The runtime `runtime/interactive/` ships the build step, the pages, the shell and the end-to-end tests; the
+creator writes the description, the core, the UI, the data, the messages and the playthroughs, and `src/main.ts`, which
+calls `startInteractive`. It reuses the explainer's component rules; the tutor handoff, task numbers, exercise contract
+and the examples check are not built for it (its playthroughs take the examples' role). Only the start page reads
+without JavaScript. An interactive app adds its own blocks below `bb-interactive-core`, `bb-interactive-ui` and
+`bb-interactive-data`: an app gets this architecture as a copy, and writes its own part between the markers
+`<!-- app: begin … -->` and `<!-- app: end … -->` in it (here inside the sections of the core, the UI and the data and
+at the end of each chapter), which the tooling keeps when it replaces the rest. The creator's assistant follows the
+skill `lernapps-interactive` (`if-skills`).

+
+## Interactive runtime
+
+Built. The runtime of every interactive app, which the app does not change: it builds the pages, runs the build
+checks, starts the app's core and UI in the browser and brings the end-to-end tests.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-archetype-runtime
+title: Interactive runtime
+path: runtime/interactive
+technology: TypeScript, Vite plugin, Vue
+requires: if-shared-runtime, if-preset, if-component-rules
+implements: concept-archetype-extension
+:::
+```
+
+### Build step
+
+Built. The plugin `interactive()` reads `src/app.yaml` and the playthroughs, runs the component rules on the UI, loads
+the core in a Vite server of its own and checks its exports and that every route starts, plays every playthrough
+against the core twice, each step's inputs through `step` and then its ticks through `tick(state, 20)`, and fails when
+the two plays differ or a state differs from the expected one, and only then writes the start page, the app page and
+the 404 page. No time passes but the ticks a step names. An app's code has no size limit (`dec-no-size-limit`).
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-build
+title: Build step
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/plugin.ts
+technology: Vite plugin
+requires: if-archetype-content, if-playthrough-format, if-core-contract, if-component-rules
+implements: concept-playthroughs, concept-determinism
+:::
+```
+
+#### Build plugin interface
+
+The app's vite.config.ts adds `interactive()` to the tooling preset; that is the only way the app enters the build.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-build-plugin
+title: interactive() Vite plugin
+provider: bb-build
+protocol: TypeScript import, @lernapps/app-templates/interactive/plugin
+path: runtime/interactive/plugin.ts
+:::
+```
+
+### Description validation
+
+Built. Validates `src/app.yaml` and every playthrough against their JSON schemas, then German first, complete
+languages, unique ids, at least one playthrough, each step expecting something, and known routes; one line per
+problem with file and line.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-validation
+title: Description validation
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/load.ts
+technology: Ajv, JSON Schema, YAML
+requires: if-archetype-content, if-playthrough-format, if-runtime-texts
+:::
+```
+
+### Page rendering
+
+Built. Renders, in each language, the start page (what the app does, the link into the app, the routes, how to play,
+competencies, background sections, a `<noscript>` note and no script) and the app page (title, `<noscript>` note with
+a link back, the routes as anchor links, and the element the shell mounts into, carrying the route ids).
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-render
+title: Page rendering
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/render.ts
+technology: TypeScript, HTML
+requires: if-archetype-content, if-runtime-texts
+implements: concept-readable-without-js, concept-hash-routes, concept-accessibility
+:::
+```
+
+#### Pages interface
+
+Learners, teachers and parents read the start page at `lernapps.net/<repo>/` and play at
+`app/?seed=<n>#<route>`; the catalog entry's topics link to the routes.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-pages
+title: Start page and app page app/?seed=<n>#<route>
+provider: bb-render
+protocol: HTML pages over HTTPS (query and hash)
+path: runtime/interactive/render.ts
+:::
+```
+
+### Shell
+
+Built. `startInteractive(core, root)` mounts the root component on the app page and holds the core's state; it takes
+the seed from `?seed=<n>` (else a random one) and the route from the hash (else the first route), starts the core
+again on a new route, calls `tick(state, 20)` every 20 ms when the core has `tick`, and routes typed inputs to `step`
+(`dec-typed-input`): every key typed on the page as a key input, except on links, buttons and form fields or with
+Ctrl, Alt or Meta, and every input the root component emits as `input` (an action, or a key it stands for). When the
+end-to-end tests' clock is on the page (`if-test-clock`), it starts no interval and steps the ticks the tests ask for.
+
+The app page has a heading line: the h1, the app's title, and a slot beside it, hidden and empty. An app that wants a
+small control there (help, sound off) passes a component as `startInteractive(core, App, { title })`; the shell
+mounts it into the slot with the props `state` and `lang` and the same `input` event as the root component, and shows
+the slot. The header of both pages holds the language switch and nothing else, and an app with one language has none:
+the title is the h1, and the way back to the catalog is the platform's. The frame of the header, the page and the
+footer is as wide as the custom property `--page-max-width` (default `44rem`), which an app sets in its own
+`:root` rule.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-shell
+title: Shell
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/interactive.ts
+technology: TypeScript, Vue, DOM events
+requires: if-core-contract, if-root-component
+implements: concept-core-and-shell, concept-hash-routes, concept-determinism
+:::
+```
+
+#### Start interface
+
+The app's `src/main.ts` imports the runtime's style, the core and the root component and calls `startInteractive`.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-start
+title: startInteractive(core, root, options?)
+provider: bb-shell
+protocol: TypeScript import, @lernapps/app-templates/interactive
+path: runtime/interactive/interactive.ts
+:::
+```
+
+#### Test clock
+
+Before the client module runs, the end-to-end tests put an object on the page as the global `lernappsClock`; the
+shell then starts no interval and gives that object `tick(count)`, which calls the shell's own tick `count` times. No
+time passes in the browser but the ticks a playthrough step names, as in the build. Only the tests set it.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-test-clock
+title: lernappsClock, the end-to-end tests' clock
+provider: bb-shell
+protocol: global object with tick(count)
+path: runtime/interactive/contract.ts
+:::
+```
+
+#### State property
+
+The shell mirrors the state on the app's element as `lernappsState`, which the end-to-end tests read.
+
+```arc42
+:::ignore H020 the state property, the test clock and the core contract are all defined in contract.ts, the runtime's one contract module
+:::
+:::interface
+id: if-state-property
+title: lernappsState on the app element
+provider: bb-shell
+protocol: DOM property
+path: runtime/interactive/contract.ts
+:::
+```
+
+### End-to-end tests
+
+Built. `interactiveTests()` checks the start page and the app page without JavaScript in every language and plays
+every playthrough's steps in the browser on the test clock (`if-test-clock`): a key input pressed on the keyboard, an
+action emitted as `input` by the root component, as the component itself does, then the step's ticks; after each step
+it compares the state and the polite announcement, at desktop width and 360 px.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-e2e
+title: End-to-end tests
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/e2e.ts
+technology: Playwright
+requires: if-archetype-content, if-playthrough-format, if-state-property, if-test-clock, if-runtime-texts, if-a11y
+implements: concept-playthroughs
+:::
+```
+
+#### Tests interface
+
+The app's `e2e/interactive.e2e.ts` only calls `interactiveTests()`.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-e2e-tests
+title: interactiveTests()
+provider: bb-e2e
+protocol: TypeScript import, @lernapps/app-templates/interactive/e2e
+path: runtime/interactive/e2e.ts
+:::
+```
+
+### Runtime texts
+
+Built. The runtime's own learner texts in German and English; an app may declare only these languages.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-runtime-texts
+title: Runtime texts
+parent: bb-archetype-runtime
+path: runtime/interactive/messages.ts
+technology: JSON per language
+implements: concept-languages
+:::
+```
+
+#### Runtime texts interface
+
+The pages, the validation and the tests take the runtime's texts by key and language.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-runtime-texts
+title: Runtime texts by language
+provider: bb-runtime-texts
+protocol: TypeScript import, JSON
+path: runtime/interactive/messages
+:::
+```
+
+## Description
+
+Built in the template: `src/app.yaml` says what the start page shows, the languages and the routes.
+
+```arc42
+:::building-block
+id: bb-interactive-description
+title: Description
+technology: YAML
+path: interactive/src/app.yaml
+:::
+```
+
+### App description interface
+
+The interactive archetype's content: the build, the validation, the pages and the tests read the app's description
+only through this schema.
+
+```arc42
+:::interface
+id: if-archetype-content
+title: app.yaml (interactive.v1 schema)
+provider: bb-interactive-description
+protocol: YAML, JSON Schema
+path: runtime/interactive/interactive.v1.schema.json
+:::
+```
+
+## Core
+
+Built in the template. The app's logic, pure TypeScript without DOM, deterministic by its seed, its state plain JSON,
+so that it can be played and tested in Node and in the browser alike; it reads the app's data.
+
+```arc42

+title: Core
+technology: TypeScript
+requires: if-interactive-data
+implements: concept-core-and-shell, concept-determinism

+:::
+```
+
+### Core contract
+
+The core exports `start(seed, route)`, `step(state, input)` and, when the app moves on its own, `tick(state, dt)`.
+The input is typed and extensible (`dec-typed-input`): `{ kind: "key", key }` with the key as `KeyboardEvent.key`, or
+`{ kind: "action", name, value? }` for what the learner does with the pointer or by touch; a core handles the kinds it
+knows and returns the state unchanged for any other, so new kinds can come.
+
+```arc42

+## UI
+
+Built in the template. Vue components that show the state and translate the device's input (keys, pointer, touch, …)
+into inputs; free in how they render (DOM, SVG, canvas). They may remember something through the small storage; the

+### Root component
+
+The root component takes the props `state` and `lang` and emits `input` with an input (an action, or a key).
+
+```arc42

+## Playthroughs
+
+Built in the template. Playthroughs as data: a seed, a route and steps of inputs (`keys` as the short form of key
+inputs, or `inputs`) and ticks that pass after them, with the state or announcement expected after each step. The
+template's playthrough lets a letter go late and starts a round with the action `again`.

+The interactive archetype's own scenarios, besides the generic ones.
+
+## Playing on the app page
+
+The learner opens `app/`, possibly with `?seed=<n>` and `#<route>`. `src/main.ts` calls `startInteractive`, which
+takes the seed from the address (else a random one) and the route from the hash (else the first route), starts the
+core and mounts the root component with the state and the page's language. Components translate any device input
+(pointer, touch, …) into typed inputs for `step` (`dec-typed-input`): the shell gives every key typed on the page to
+`step` as a key input, except keys on links, buttons and form fields or with Ctrl, Alt or Meta, and steps every input
+the root component emits as `input`; a key that changes the state loses its default. When the core
+has `tick`, the shell calls it every 20 ms. A new route in the hash starts the core again with the same seed and marks
+the current route link. The components only show the state, take their texts through the translator and announce
+changes through the live region.

+# Cross-cutting Concepts
+
+The interactive archetype's concepts, besides the generic ones.
+
+## Core and shell
+
+The core is the app's logic in pure TypeScript without DOM, its state plain JSON, exported as `start(seed, route)`,
+`step(state, input)` and optionally `tick(state, dt)`. The input is typed and extensible: a key, a pointer or touch
+action, and other kinds later; the components translate any device input into such inputs (`dec-typed-input`). The
+shell keeps the state, feeds it inputs and ticks and hands it to the components, which only show it, so the same core
+runs in Node at build and in the browser.
+
+```arc42
+:::concept
+id: concept-core-and-shell
+title: Core and shell
+category: structure
+:::
+```
+
+## Playthroughs
+
+A playthrough is data: a seed, a route and steps of inputs, each with the state (a part of it) or the announcement
+expected after them. The build plays it against the core, the end-to-end tests give the same inputs in the browser,
+so behaviour is specified once and checked in both places. A step can let n ticks pass after its inputs; in the build
+and in the browser no other time passes, so a real-time core is checked deterministically. The core's property tests
+over fixed seeds are not built yet.

+```arc42
+:::concept
+id: concept-playthroughs

+
+## Hash routes
+
+Modes and levels are routes declared in `src/app.yaml`, reached as `app/#<id>` from anchor links on the start page and
+the app page. The shell starts the core with the route of the address (else the first) and again on every new route,
+so an entry's topics can point to a route and `entry-links-resolve` can check it.
