+/**
+ * The dev component hot swap, BROWSER half (#1689). A browser-safe,
+ * import-free module that `reloadClientJs` (`dev/helpers.js`) inlines into
+ * `/__webjs/reload.js` after an `export`-keyword strip, like `dev-styles.js`,
+ * so the browser test drives the exact code that ships. Production never loads
+ * it, so `@webjsdev/core`'s `hot.js` reads find nothing there.
+ *
+ * `installHotClient(globalThis)` publishes `{ strings, replace, applyModules }`
+ * on `globalThis[Symbol.for('webjs.hot')]`, which core reads:
+ *
+ * - `strings(arr, kind)` interns template strings by their text, so the
+ *   re-evaluated module's unchanged templates keep the identity the reconciler
+ *   compares (`prev.strings === tr.strings`) and update in place, keeping
+ *   their DOM (focus, an input's value, a nested component), while a template
+ *   whose text changed rebuilds.
+ * - `replace(tag, Old, New)` is what core's `customElements.define` wrapper
+ *   calls on a second define of a known tag. The native registry keeps the
+ *   class and the lifecycle callbacks it read at define time, so the new
+ *   class's members are copied onto the REGISTERED one, level by level up to
+ *   the first class both chains share, and every live instance re-renders.
+ *   Reactive values live per instance in `__propValues` and instance signals in
+ *   fields, so both survive. A change the native registry would ignore throws
+ *   before anything is patched, and the reload client reloads with the reason.
+ * - `applyModules(urls)` imports the versioned component modules a
+ *   `component` verdict lists, in order, and reports the tags it swapped.
+ *
+ * The reload script runs before the page's boot script (`ssr/head.js`), so the
+ * interner sees every template from the first evaluation on.

+/**
+ * Why the dev server reloaded the page, printed AFTER the reload (#1689), the
+ * BROWSER half. Browser-safe and import-free: `reloadClientJs` (`dev/helpers.js`)
+ * inlines it after an `export` strip, so the unit test drives the exact code
+ * that ships.
+ *
+ * A reload replaces the document, and with it the console of the page that
+ * decided to reload, so a reason logged before `location.reload()` is gone by
+ * the time anyone looks (Next prints its `REACT_REFRESH_FULL_RELOAD` reason for
+ * the same reason). `reloadWithReason` stores `{ why, by }` in
+ * `sessionStorage`, which survives a same-tab reload, and the reloaded page's
+ * client prints it once with `printPendingReason`:
+ * `[webjs] full reload: <why> (<by>)`. Where storage is unavailable (a
+ * sandboxed frame, storage disabled) the reason is logged before the reload
+ * instead, which is the best that can be done.
