 - `LayoutSlots.DesktopSidebar` is the built-in desktop sidebar as one piece: the spec's tabs, back button, property pages and sidebar footer with their spacing, scrolling and empty states, and the assistant panel. Use it when the spec's property pages are what the customer should see and only their place changes, for example a sidebar on the left; build the controls yourself when they have to look like the brand's own. Without `width` it fills its container, so the layout positions and sizes that container; `miniSidebar` does not shrink it, so a layout that honours it reads `LayoutSlots.useSidebarContent().hasMiniSidebar` and lets the container take the sidebar's height. Its tabs sit outside it on the left; `side="start"` puts them on its right, for a sidebar on the left. In fullscreen it stays in place, transparent and inert, so a layout that wants the space back removes it while `phx.frontend.useIsFullscreenActive()` is set. See [Sidebar in a Custom Layout](?path=/docs/layouts-sidebar-in-a-custom-layout--docs).
 - Nothing of the built-in layouts is rendered for it. A project layout finalizes over the spec's `finalizeAction` components, see the finalize paragraph of [Hooks for a Project Layout](#hooks-for-a-project-layout). The `finalizePage` and `finalizeButton` components are legacy: they cannot be declared in YAML, only in TypeScript, and `Legacy.CommonFinalizePage`, which is deprecated, shows a `finalizePage` for projects that still have one. `LayoutDialog` renders only what the project registers with `createLayoutDialog` and is not part of the finalize flow. The preview start screen is `DesktopPreview` or `MobilePreview`, which the layout shows while `usePreview().isPreview` is set. Both previews frame the scene themselves, so the layout renders the component that calls `useSceneSafeArea()` only while `isPreview` is not set; it then measures when it mounts after the preview. The assistant panel is available to a project layout only inside `LayoutSlots.DesktopSidebar`.
 - The layout reads the state it has to react to from hooks, listed with what each returns in [Hooks for a Project Layout](#hooks-for-a-project-layout).
-- Messages for the user come one of two ways. `LayoutSlots.Services` shows violations of a rejected change, side-effect hints and errors as the built-in snackbars, which render into `LayoutSlots.DesktopSnackbarsRoot` or `LayoutSlots.MobileSnackbarsRoot` wherever the layout mounts it. `phx.frontend.useConfiguratorMessages(onMessage)` hands the same messages to the layout's own UI instead, with their text resolved, as the toast in [Custom Layout](?path=/docs/layouts-custom-layout--docs#show-messages) does; mount one of the two, not both, or every message is shown twice. Some messages stay snackbars either way: a failure to save the configuration and an error of the built-in finalize and other actions. They render into the snackbar root, so a layout that mounts none shows them outside the configurator, in the page's `body`. An error while a preset is applied appears on the preset screen, outside the layout. A finalize action the layout runs with `phx.frontend.useFinalizeAction` reports its error as that hook's `error` instead, neither as a message nor as a snackbar.
+- Messages for the user come one of two ways. `LayoutSlots.Services` shows violations of a rejected change, side-effect hints, errors and failed saves as the built-in snackbars, which render into `LayoutSlots.DesktopSnackbarsRoot` or `LayoutSlots.MobileSnackbarsRoot` wherever the layout mounts it. `phx.frontend.useConfiguratorMessages(onMessage)` hands the same messages to the layout's own UI instead, with their text resolved, as the toast in [Custom Layout](?path=/docs/layouts-custom-layout--docs#show-messages) does; mount one of the two, not both, or every message is shown twice. A failure to save the configuration, and the first successful save after it, are messages too, so a layout that mounts neither shows no sign of a failed save. An error of the built-in finalize and other actions stays a snackbar either way. It renders into the snackbar root, so a layout that mounts none shows it outside the configurator, in the page's `body`. A failure to start a configuration from a preset is not a message of the hook either: it happens on the preset screen, before any `ConfiguratorLayout` mounts. In production with more than one preset it is a snackbar there, also on a preset screen replaced with `createPresetUi` (see [Preset UI](#preset-ui)), which reads the error from `phx.frontend.usePresetSelection().selectionError` and mounts `PresetSnackbarsRoot` to keep the snackbar inside the configurator. A finalize action the layout runs with `phx.frontend.useFinalizeAction` reports its error as that hook's `error` instead, neither as a message nor as a snackbar.
 - Any project layout element named `ConfiguratorLayout` takes over the page.
 
-`defaultConfiguratorElements`, exported from `@salsita-ai/sdk/configurator`, holds the built-in UI as a `ConfiguratorLayout` registration that renders the layout the spec selects. Generated code registers these defaults with `withDefaultElements`, apart from the project's elements, so the built-in UI is a registration like any other; a project element registered under the same name wins over a default.
+`defaultConfiguratorElements`, exported from `@salsita-ai/sdk/configurator`, holds the built-in UI as a `ConfiguratorLayout` registration that renders the layout the spec selects. Generated code registers these defaults with `withDefaultElements`, apart from the project's elements, so the built-in UI is a registration like any other; a project element registered under the same name wins over a default. The list also holds the configurator's built-in controls and layout elements under the kinds the spec names them by, such as `attributeSelect` or `undoToolbarButton`, so a project element registered under one of those names replaces the built-in one wherever the spec names that kind. A config assembled by hand, without generated code, calls `withDefaultElements(defaultConfiguratorElements)` too; the lists are the only way the built-in elements are registered, so without it the page shows a "not found" box instead of the configurator, and a project layout shows one in place of every built-in control. The admin mounts a full configurator, so its list, `defaultAdminElements` from `@salsita-ai/sdk/admin`, holds the configurator's defaults followed by the admin's built-in pages, sidebars and actions; generated admin code passes it to `withDefaultElements` in place of `defaultConfiguratorElements`, because each call replaces the defaults passed before.

-| `phx.frontend.useConfiguratorMessages(onMessage)` | Nothing. It calls `onMessage(message)` once per message: `{ kind: 'violation', entityId, violation, text }` for each violation of the rejected state, including notices and warnings already present, so `violation.severity` tells the reason for the rejection (`fixable` or `fatal`) from them, `{ kind: 'sideEffect', text }` for each hint of a committed update, and `{ kind: 'error', error, text }` when an error is thrown while a change is validated, with `text` the generic "Oops, something went wrong". `text` is resolved to the current language; a violation's is its `message`, or its `type` without one, and the built-in snackbar prefixes it with `entityId`. Hints committed before the layout mounted are not delivered; when the most recent change was rejected or threw, its messages are delivered again when the hook mounts. `onMessage` may be a new function on every render. On `phx.frontend` the message is typed by the project, so `violation.type` narrows to its violation types; from `@salsita-ai/sdk/react` the type is `ConfiguratorMessage`. |

Hints committed before the layout mounted are not delivered, nor is a save that failed before it mounted; when the most recent change was rejected or threw, its messages are delivered again when the hook mounts. `onMessage` may be a new function on every render. On `phx.frontend` the message is typed by the project, so `violation.type` narrows to its violation types; from `@salsita-ai/sdk/react` the type is `ConfiguratorMessage`. |

 The code generator will automatically create an expression with the same name and infer the return type based on usage context.
 
+The type of an expression must share values with the type every component expects where it is read, and with its declared type. An expression declared as a number and read into a `title`, or one read both into a `title` and into `offsetX`, has no value its implementation could return, so the build reports `EXPRESSION_READ_TYPE_CONFLICT` at the expression and names each place it is read. A type given only as `tsType` is not checked here.

 Constants are pre-generated expressions that return fixed values. Under the hood, they are implemented as expressions but are automatically generated by the Phoenix system, so you don't need to write TypeScript implementation code for them.

 We assume you have working knowledge of these technologies before starting with Phoenix Platform. If you're new to any of these areas, we recommend familiarizing yourself with them first, as Phoenix Platform builds directly on these foundations.

-Syncs project dependencies and regenerates all project files without building Vite bundles or webhooks. Faster than `clean` — use this for routine updates after changing spec files or upgrading dependencies. Before installing, it adds the pnpm settings `phoenix init` writes to a standalone project's `pnpm-workspace.yaml` when they are missing; values you set there are kept.
+Regenerates all project files without building Vite bundles or webhooks. Faster than `clean` — use this for routine updates after changing spec files or updating the SDK. It installs nothing: install with your package manager before syncing, after any change to `package.json`. It writes no package-manager settings; `pnpm-workspace.yaml` is the project's own. In a project on the legacy pipeline, `phoenix sync` runs `pnpm install` first.
 
 With the application-spec pipeline (see [Current and legacy project tooling](#current-and-legacy-project-tooling)), `.gitignore` is written only when the project is inside a git repository: the project folder or one of its parent folders holds a `.git` entry. Outside a repository, sync neither creates the file nor changes one that is already there, and the same holds for `dev`, `build` and `clean`. Run `git init` before the first sync, or sync again after it, to get the file. The legacy pipeline writes `.gitignore` in every project.
 
+With the application-spec pipeline, sync never writes `package.json`. Before it generates any file, it checks that `package.json` declares every peer of the installed SDK at a version inside the SDK's range, and stops with a non-zero exit code when it does not. The message lists each peer that fails, with the range the SDK needs and the version found, or `missing`, and names the fix: run [`phoenix deps`](#phoenix-deps), then install with your package manager. `phoenix build`, `phoenix clean` and `phoenix dev` make the same check, and so does the platform build of [`phoenix deploy`](#phoenix-deploy). `phoenix dev` stops when the check fails at start; on a rebuild it reports the failure like a spec error and keeps running. [Dependencies](?path=/docs/phoenix-project-structure--docs#dependencies) has the rules. The legacy pipeline merges the SDK's dependencies into `package.json` on every sync.

 To keep the conversation that led to a build, place a reviewed UTF-8 transcript in `conversation.log` at the project root before deploying. Deploy automatically includes it in the private source archive. Download the build's sources from Studio to read it; access is the same as for the rest of that build's sources. The build extractor skips the log, so it is not an application build input or a public asset. Missing logs produce a warning and deployment continues. Directories, links and special files at that path are rejected.

-## Dependencies Merging
+## Dependencies
 
-When running `phx sync` or `phx build`, Phoenix manages `package.json` dependencies:
+In a project on the application-spec pipeline, `package.json` is the project's own: `phoenix sync`, `phoenix dev` and `phoenix build` never write it. The SDK lists the packages its code imports from the project's install as peer dependencies (React, three.js, MUI, Lingui and others), and the project declares them next to `@salsita-ai/sdk`. [`phoenix deps`](?path=/docs/phoenix-phoenix-cli--docs#phoenix-deps) adds the missing ones and moves out-of-range ones into the SDK's range; run it, then install, after every SDK update. With pnpm, and the same through any other package manager (`npm install`, `npx phoenix deps` with npm):
 
-| Behavior              | Description                                                    |
-| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
-| Phoenix deps override | Required Phoenix dependencies override user-specified versions |
-| Versions pinned       | All Phoenix deps use exact versions (no ^ or ~)                |
-| User deps preserved   | Non-conflicting user dependencies are kept                     |
-| Manual deps safe      | Dependencies not in Phoenix's required list remain untouched   |
+```bash
+pnpm add @salsita-ai/sdk@<version>
+pnpm phoenix deps
+pnpm install
+pnpm phoenix sync
+```
+
+`phoenix sync`, `phoenix dev` and `phoenix build`, also on the platform when a deploy builds, check `package.json` before they generate any file. When a peer is missing, or declared at a version whose lowest match falls outside the SDK's range, they stop and list each such peer with the range the SDK needs and what `package.json` declares. A peer counts in `dependencies`, `devDependencies` or `optionalDependencies`, and a specifier that is not a version range, such as `workspace:` or `link:`, counts as declared. Add your own dependencies to `package.json` as usual; Phoenix leaves them, the Node.js and package-manager versions and the rest of the file as you wrote them.
+
+In a project on the legacy pipeline (see [Current and legacy project tooling](?path=/docs/phoenix-phoenix-cli--docs#current-and-legacy-project-tooling)), `phoenix sync` and `phoenix build` merge the SDK's required dependencies into `package.json` instead, at exact versions over the ones you set, and keep every other dependency.
 
-To add custom dependencies, add them normally to `package.json`. Phoenix preserves them unless they conflict with required framework dependencies.
+### Package manager
+
+A project installs with any package manager: pnpm, npm, Yarn or Bun. Phoenix writes no package-manager settings and no `packageManager` field; the lockfile, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, `.npmrc` and `.yarnrc.yml` are the project's own. Run `phoenix` through the package manager the project uses, such as `pnpm phoenix sync` or `npx phoenix sync`.
+
+A project that installs with pnpm 11 needs a `pnpm-workspace.yaml` in its root before the first install. pnpm 11 stops an install until every dependency build script is allowed or denied, and the SDK's dependencies have three. Its default minimum release age also refuses a package published only recently, so the exclusion lets the project install an SDK build on the day it is released; it is optional:
+
+```yaml
+allowBuilds:
+  '@swc/core': true
+  esbuild: true
+  es5-ext: false
+minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
+  - '@salsita-ai/*'
+```
+
+The file is yours to extend, for example to allow the build script of a dependency you add. In a pnpm monorepo, these settings go into the workspace root's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. [`phoenix deploy`](?path=/docs/phoenix-phoenix-cli--docs#phoenix-deploy) packs `pnpm-lock.yaml` and `pnpm-workspace.yaml` when the project has them, and the platform build, which installs with pnpm, follows them.

 Sync does not write `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.env.example`, `.env.ci` or the `README.md` files in `assets/public/` and `assets/private/`. Earlier SDK versions wrote them once; a project that has them keeps them, and they are yours to edit.
 
 Phoenix keeps the generated env file, with the IDs and values of the prepared deployment, in `.phoenix/` unless the project has a `.env.generated` in its root, which then is the one that counts. `phoenix dev` creates no `.env.generated` in the project root; the deployment and environment commands write it there.

A project that runs Prettier directly, as `prettier --check .` or from an editor, can add its own `.prettierignore`. To commit it, add a `!.prettierignore` line after the Phoenix block of `.gitignore`, because that block lists the file. The legacy pipeline writes `.prettierignore` on every sync.

 ### Agent Guidance
 
-Coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) read the Phoenix agent skills. An `AGENTS.md` is yours to add for your own instructions; sync does not write one. The `phoenix`, `phoenix-cli`, `phoenix-feedback` and `phoenix-review` skills carry the SDK conventions, CLI tooling and review checklist, and the `phoenix-create-configurator` skill walks the agent from your product documents and assets to a reviewed configurator in five stages. The `phoenix-variants` skill has the agent show you several options over the dev preview when a decision is a matter of taste, and build the one you pick. Phoenix keeps them in step with the installed SDK, including the reference files inside a skill folder. During the internal beta, a project created from a canary build of the SDK gets one more section in the `phoenix` skill: once per conversation the agent checks for a newer canary and, after telling you, updates the project's SDK and runs `phoenix sync`. Other skill folders are never touched.

 Projects created by earlier SDK versions had this guidance in `CLAUDE.md`, `.cursor/rules/phoenix.mdc` and `commands/review.md`. Sync removes the SDK block from the first two, keeps your own text around it, deletes a file that held nothing else, and deletes the review commands; use the `phoenix-review` skill instead of `/review`.

 - `README.md`, `AGENTS.md`
