+## Install into the existing application
+
+Configure or reuse an existing capability before generating files. Public embedding uses the existing script or embed ID and needs no customer backend session/config route. Reuse application APIs and business functions; generate a thin handler only where the approved architecture identifies a missing stable boundary.
+
+For a supported host, first run `noodle assistant embed --framework nextjs --surface public --dry-run --json` in the customer application, substituting `authenticated` or `mixed` only for the selected surface. Read the returned recipe applicability, applicationSeams, generated contents/hashes, skipped conflicts and nextSteps. The output is an installation plan, not permission to change the repository.
+
+For the documented non-Node backend/static-frontend authenticated profile, discover the framework choice through `noodle commands --json` and follow the linked framework guide below. The installer supplies a session view, a fail-closed identity seam, real CSRF-enforced request tests, a browser wrapper and exact-destination CSRF transport tests. Keep the existing package managers, authentication middleware and same-origin proxy. Pass the existing CSRF token and user/tenant principalKey to the wrapper; the managed element supports injected fetch, so preserving CSRF does not require a custom renderer or Node production server. Unsupported combinations use the neutral contract, not a claimed qualified profile.
+
+Once local changes are authorized, rerun without `--dry-run`; never add `--force` to resolve a conflict automatically. Read the installed `NOODLE-INTEGRATION.md` and newly installed project skill before editing. Implement only the named session/business/mount seams and preserve the host framework, package manager, login and authorization. Mixed mode also requires an application-owned login transaction; the generated callback does not implement or verify that transaction.
+
+Use generated tests and independently maintained acceptance cases at the actual customer boundary. A static host check, a mock test or installed files cannot prove application authorization or production browser behavior. Missing identities, sandbox access, customer approval or a reachable service remain unverified. Record the exact application/Noodle revisions, package versions and environment for observed evidence; rerun affected checks after changes.

+For a small SaaS onboarding flow, first read the bundled [stateful-draft example](../examples/stateful-draft/README.md). Compose the existing capabilities; do not introduce an onboarding platform API, workflow engine, research pipeline, or second identity provider.
+
+Start from one useful result the visitor can see before signup. Ask only for missing information, one short question at a time. Show an editable preview, and offer an account only when it unlocks a meaningful next step. Keep the ordinary signup route available. Research and document parsing are optional enrichment, never required because the flow is conversational.
+
+Use a finite-TTL caller state handle only if the draft needs server persistence. Opt it into `claimOnAuthentication` when it should move to the verified account. An explicit typed read tool supplies the current revision; a typed patch tool sends that revision and the complete reviewed value. Widget state is a display cache, never proof of a save. A failed or missing result must not increment the revision, mark the draft saved, or silently retry a conflicting write.
+
+Keep the final business action in the customer API. Map the reviewed draft to its existing create/update operation after authentication, with confirmation and the backend’s existing authorization and idempotency. Ticket adoption transfers temporary state, not a CRM record or completed onboarding.
+
+Prove this journey before calling it ready: useful anonymous preview; actual saved state; cancelled/expired signup; verified signup with the same draft; a destination conflict without an automatic merge; and no business write merely because login succeeded.

 1. **Capture the ticket.** The widget raises `assistant-sign-in-requested` with a single-use `signInTicket`. POST it to the host application same-origin backend and bind it to the short-lived login transaction; keep it out of query strings, logs, analytics, and durable browser storage.
 2. **Use the existing login.** Send the visitor through the host application full-page redirect for sign-in or sign-up. Noodle never becomes the customer identity provider.
 3. **Elevate on the backend.** After authentication, recover the bound ticket and call `createAssistantSession({ ..., signInTicket })` with the verified user, server-owned routing, backend client credentials, and the exact **origin the conversation will continue on**. The allowed destination may differ from the anonymous marketing origin; successful elevation rebinds the session to it.

 Authenticate before exchange. Pass backend-verified `user.roles` and OAuth-style `user.scopes` separately; they govern the same per-tool authorization rules as verified MCP bearer claims.

 `serviceUrl` is the Noodle Seed control-plane base URL: the value `noodle assistant clients create` prints, also stored as `serviceUrl` in `deployment.json`.

+# Stateful Draft
+
+**Owns:** The flagship for a useful brief before signup, authoritative caller state, and account continuation.
+**Read when:** You want to compose a small conversational onboarding flow from existing platform capabilities.
+**Do not put here:** Customer credentials, a new identity provider, or business-system records.
+**Update when:** The reference tools, state schema, or runnable journey changes.
+
+Start with the visitor's goal. Help them produce something useful before asking for an account. This
+synthetic example collects a project title, audience, and desired outcome; those fields are illustrative,
+not requirements for any particular SaaS product.
+
+## The journey
+
+1. The visitor describes a goal. The assistant asks only for missing information and proposes a brief.
+2. `open_draft` opens an editable review and reads authoritative state, including its current revision.
+3. `save_draft` saves the reviewed brief after confirmation. It sends the current revision and the complete
+   value to the state API. Failed or missing responses do not appear as successful saves.
+4. The visitor may choose `continue_draft`. This read requires identity, so an anonymous visitor sees the
+   sign-in/signup card. Your host application completes its existing login and spends the bound ticket.
+5. The authenticated assistant reads the same adopted draft. No project, subscription, or business record
+   is created by signing in.
+
+The widget's Continue button requests the identity-dependent tool through the conversation. The ordinary
+signup route should remain available on the embedding page.
+
+## Run the reference
+
+From this repository:
+
+```sh
+pnpm install
+pnpm build
+noodle validate examples/stateful-draft/src/server.ts
+noodle test examples/stateful-draft/src/server.ts
+noodle dev examples/stateful-draft/src/server.ts --org demo --app stateful-draft
+```
+
+The local runtime and widget preview exercise the typed tools. A complete mixed-assistant journey also
+requires two host pages and a backend that verifies the user. The declared development origins are
+`http://localhost:3001` for the public page and `http://localhost:3002` for the authenticated page; replace
+these with your exact deployment origins. The assistant uses `noodleManaged()`, whose hosted availability
+and budget belong to the operator. Local tool tests do not require a model key.
+
+Use the SDK version declared in this example's package file. Older published SDKs may omit the state
+adoption flag when compiling; the example's tests check that the flag reaches the compiled declaration.
+
+Use [signup continuity](https://docs.noodleseed.dev/docs/guides/signup-continuity) for the complete host
+integration and [customer-auth](../customer-auth/README.md) for customer-owned API authentication.
+
+### Loopback demonstration with a hosted assistant
+
+The included host serves the public page on port 3001 and a **simulated** account page on port 3002.
+It binds to loopback and must not be published as a production authentication implementation.
+After deploying this app, copy this directory outside the monorepo and run the commands below from that
+copy. This keeps published dependencies from shadowing the monorepo's workspace SDK.
+
+```sh
+pnpm install --ignore-workspace --lockfile=false
+export NOODLE_EMBED_ID=<embed-id-printed-by-deploy>
+pnpm site
+```
+
+This is enough to test the anonymous conversation and saved brief. To exercise the synthetic account
+handoff, create an assistant backend client for the same org/app/env with
+`noodle assistant clients create --name first-brief-demo --org <org> --app <app> --env <env> --json`.
+Set `NOODLE_ASSISTANT_CREDENTIALS_FILE` to the returned `secretFile` path and restart `pnpm site`.
+The host consumes that private file without printing it or sending its contents to the browser.
+Override `NOODLE_SERVICE_URL` only when deploying to a different hosted service.
+
+The simulated signup chooses a random temporary demo identity and spends the ticket through the real
+backend session helper. The host's login transaction lasts ten minutes; it is local process memory and
+is lost on restart. A production integration replaces it with the customer's existing verified login and
+login transaction. Do not copy the synthetic identity branch into a real application.
+
+## Customer integration map
+
+| Reference | Adaptation in the customer's application |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| Three-field brief | Select the smallest useful outcome and collect only its missing inputs |
+| Public mixed surface | Mount the public embed on the unauthenticated website with an exact allowlist |
+| Expiring `draft` handle | Keep only temporary, bounded coordination state; omit persistence if unnecessary |
+| `continue_draft` | Trigger the existing signup/login at the point the visitor chooses an account |
+| Host session endpoint | Verify the logged-in user, spend the bound ticket, return the SDK session response |
+| Final business action | Add a typed connector to the existing authorized, idempotent create/update API |
+
+The final business action belongs in the customer backend. Show the resulting record or its identifier
+only after that API confirms success. Signup and state adoption alone are not completed onboarding.
+Research or document parsing can be added later when they remove a demonstrated user burden; they are not
+prerequisites for this reference.
+
+## State and failure behavior
+
+The draft uses caller scope, a finite 24-hour TTL, and `claimOnAuthentication: true`. Its `v2` schema
+replaces the earlier title/stage illustration. Widget state is only a display cache. Reads, validation,
+revision checks, expiry, and persistence belong to the runtime.
+
+A stale edit requires an explicit reload and review before another save. Spending the single-use sign-in
+ticket moves only opted-in state to the backend-verified account, preserving its revision and expiry.
+Destination conflicts fail rather than merging two drafts. Abandoned or expired signup leaves the
+anonymous state under its original limits. A 24-hour state TTL does not promise cross-device recovery or
+that an arbitrary new anonymous visit can recover the conversation.
+
+The save is a connector-backed side effect on a public/mixed surface, so it has `confirm: true`. Previewing
+the brief has no side effect and needs neither signup nor confirmation. Do not add a confirmation to each
+conversational answer or treat confirmation as proof of identity.
+
+## Validate before a customer pilot
+
+- Show useful value with no account and without repeating already supplied information.
+- Save, reopen, and edit the actual record; test a stale revision and an unconfirmed save.
+- Verify the same draft after the customer's real signup and login, including cancellation and expiry.
+- Test an existing-account draft conflict and ensure it is not silently overwritten.
+- Ensure signup triggers no unintended business write and account A cannot read account B's draft.
+- Compare onboarding completion and first useful product outcome with the existing flow; count signups
+  separately. A demo is not evidence of improved conversion.
