9
+ - Provide one connected HTML element with a nonzero, unfragmented layout box. Its size, placement and layer belong to the application. For inline hosts, use `display: inline-block` or `block` and give them the intended dimensions.
10
+ - `projectionSelector` uses document CSS selectors (ID, class, attribute or descendant). It must match exactly one element and does not enter Shadow DOM. A missing element can be created later; zero or multiple matches keep Native hidden.
11
+ - The retained image is inserted in the element's open ShadowRoot, or as a light-DOM child otherwise. Closed shadow content must inherit the host's visibility and expose a slot that can display the image.
12
+ - An overlay, collapsed item or inactive page is eligible only while it has a visible layout box. Do not force hidden configuration elements to render just to use them as destinations.
13
+ - Host/ancestor clipping, opacity, transforms and filters still affect the image. The image is noninteractive and freezes the captured appearance. See [projection behavior](projection.md#dom-and-native-surface-requirements) for lifecycle, mutation-observer exclusions and native capture limits.

17

18
+ | --------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
19
+ | Block container | `div`, `section`, `nav`, `article`, `header`, `footer` | ⭕️ | Give the container the intended size and Web layer. |
20
+ | Inline container | `span`, `a`, `label` | ⭕️ | Use `inline-block` or `block`; wrapped inline text is not a single projection surface. |
21
+ | Button | `button` | ⭕️ | The original button, listeners and values remain; the image does not receive clicks. |
22
+ | Custom element without Shadow DOM | `native-ad` | ⭕️ | Provide a layout box and allow an image child. |
23
+ | Custom element with open Shadow DOM | `native-control` | ⭕️ | The Engine inserts the image directly in the open root and hides fallback content during projection. |
24
+ | Custom element with closed Shadow DOM and a suitable slot | `native-control` with a default slot | ⭕️ | The image must be slotted visibly; internal content must inherit host visibility. The Engine cannot enforce rules inside the closed root. |
25
+ | Custom element with inaccessible rendering content | Closed root without a suitable slot | ❌ | Use an outer container; a light-DOM image would not be rendered. |
26
+ | Native form control | `select`, `input`, `textarea` | ❌ | Direct scopes are rejected. Wrap the control; its value and listeners are preserved. |
27
+ | Replaced media or drawing surface | `img`, `canvas`, `video`, `audio`, `iframe`, `embed`, `object` | ❌ | Direct scopes are rejected. Use a container around the content. |
28
+ | Void element | `br`, `hr`, `area`, `base`, `link`, `meta`, `source`, `track`, `wbr` | ❌ | Direct scopes are rejected; these cannot contain a projected image. |
29
+ | Configuration or special child-rendering element | `option`, `optgroup`, `template` | ❌ | Acceptance by an HTMLElement check does not make an image child renderable. Use a normal container. |
30
+ | Non-HTML element | `svg`, SVG `g`, MathML `math` | ❌ | Use an HTML wrapper, not the SVG/MathML node itself. |
31
+ | Element without a usable box | `display: none`, `display: contents`, zero size | ❌ | Choose a visible container with the intended dimensions. |
32
+ | Pseudo-element | `::before`, `::after` | ❌ | Not DOM elements and cannot be selected as a scope. Both remain available to the application's CSS. |

It was checked against `@ionic/core` **9.0.9**; `ion-icon` is supplied by Ionicons. The final table separately lists the additional internal component shipped in that version.
37
+
38
+ Ionic custom elements are not the HTML elements with similar names: `ion-select`, `ion-input`, `ion-textarea` and `ion-img` can be image containers, while HTML `select`, `input`, `textarea` and `img` cannot. Every ⭕️ below still requires the shared layout conditions above and the component's normal Ionic parent/context.

181

182
+ <option>Any seat</option>
183
+ </select>
184
+ </span>
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ The control's DOM, value and event listeners survive handoff. The plugin still owns native behavior and value synchronization; the prepared image does not accept input.
188
+
189
+ ## Verification scope
190
+
191
+ Temporary Chromium and WebKit probes exercise the Ionic inventory with an explicit layout box, required parents and visible states. A solid-color prepared image checks placement and visible pixel coverage; the probes also check original child identity/value preservation and removal of Engine images on teardown. Configuration elements are checked for the absence of a renderable box. The refresher probe selects its active CSS state; it does not validate the pull gesture. Animated loading indicators can change between the before/after captures.
192
+
193
+ In both browsers, all 90 supported public Ionic elements had zero measured image-frame difference, full solid-color coverage in the inspected interior, preserved original children/values and no retained Engine image after destruction. The four public configuration elements had no renderable box. The internal component was also probed but remains outside the supported public contract. HTML probes cover 41 element/layout combinations, including open and closed shadow roots.
194
+
195
+ These are DOM-container checks, not native capture, SDK eligibility or complete Ionic interaction tests. They do not guarantee every theme, closed-shadow implementation or application stylesheet. The probes are not part of the library's permanent test suite.

ID, class, attribute and descendant selectors are supported; zero or multiple matches leave Native hidden. The engine does not create the fallback container or choose its size, placement, layer or z-index. Keep the container's normal layout and any interactive Web controls; an empty zero-size placeholder is not a usable fallback. It is a fixed scope, not a discovery root.

  The container does not have to exist at registration time. A missing DOM waits without showing native content; replacing it creates a new binding and retires old images. The engine preserves the container's children, listeners and values. Pass the native view itself through `view`; a group of controls can use their common native container. The engine manages the internal identifier, so no ID list or view dictionary is required. Independent surfaces use separate registrations.

- A Web Component host can be the destination, for example `projectionSelector: 'native-ad[placement="home"]'`. Give the host a layout box (`display: block` with the intended dimensions); the engine observes insertion, removal and selector attribute changes. The selector runs in the document and does not search inside shadow roots. The fallback content, including shadow content, must inherit the host's `visibility`: do not override it with `visibility: visible`, and reserve the host's `::before` for the projection image. These requirements apply to open and closed shadow roots.

  For independently moving AdMob slots, retain one registration per loaded native view/surface, use a slot-specific selector and filter the plugin's notifications through `receiveListeners.match` (`match: ["slotKey": slotKey, "loadId": loadId]` / `match = mapOf("slotKey" to slotKey, "loadId" to loadId)`). Dispose the registration when a loaded ad is replaced, even if its host view is reused. Keep SDK loading, impression and click handling in the ad plugin. Supply `canCapture` with its existing capture eligibility checks (for example, test-ad / opaque-background / no-video restrictions); the engine does not grant permission to snapshot an SDK view.

- The engine uses a noninteractive, empty CSS `::before` pseudo-element for the prepared image. Supply a container that supports it, such as an existing `div`, `button` or custom element. Replaced/void elements such as `img`, `input` and `video` are rejected when creating the scope; use their existing fallback container. It does not clone, replace, remove or set `inert`/`aria-hidden` on the existing fallback or its children. Removing its temporary image styles restores the same live DOM, including application changes made during projection. Event listeners and form values are preserved. The renderer may move that same element between parents; it must not replace the scope's element or let two managers control it simultaneously.
185
+ The engine prepares a noninteractive `img` inside the fallback container (directly inside its open ShadowRoot when present) while Native is visible. It reuses the decoded image and DOM node across handoffs, and releases them when the scope is retired or destroyed. The image is `inert`, hidden from accessibility and excluded from hit testing. The existing fallback and its children are never cloned, replaced, removed or assigned `inert`/`aria-hidden`; their listeners, values and application changes survive projection. Both `::before` and `::after` remain available to the application.

+ The image is absolutely positioned within the fallback, which retains its layout box. As with the previous pseudo-element presentation, static hosts become positioned while the image is visible. Host and ancestor clipping, transforms and filters still apply. Open ShadowRoot insertion bypasses internal slot wrappers, not the host's own clipping. Closed shadow roots cannot be inspected; provide a fallback container that can render the image.

191
+ Engine-owned nodes carry `data-native-ui-projection-node` for their entire pooled lifetime. Renderers that inspect fallback children must exclude these nodes from application content discovery. A renderer that uses a MutationObserver to invalidate captures must also ignore insertion/removal and attribute changes of these nodes, changes inside them, and Engine-owned `data-native-ui-snapshot-*` attributes. Continue observing authored content, dimensions and disabled-state changes; ignoring all mutations on a projection host would hide real updates. Otherwise image preparation can invalidate itself and cause repeated capture/release cycles. The engine removes only its own nodes on disposal. Child insertion can affect structural selectors within the fallback, but does not add items alongside it in flex, grid or virtual lists.

+ For a custom transport, convert request `parts` from CSS pixels to native frames using `webView.bounds.width / viewportWidth` on iOS or `webView.width / viewportWidth` on Android, mapping each part's IDs to its rectangle. Pass these as `destinationFrames` for both `cover` and `restore`. A retained image can move before its first cover or after a failed return copy; always use the supplied coordinates. When `parts` is absent, pass `nil` / `null` to retain the captured placement. The high-level `NativeUIProjection` registration handles this conversion automatically.
240

241

  `transient: true` is for a moving foreground surface: it does not replace the background's `coveringToken`. Retire the entry copy with `retireCopy(token)` after Web image readiness. Before applying a normal native update, undo the engine's visibility changes with iOS `restoreControls()` / Android `restoreViews()`. For return, `restore` installs the cached return image, the plugin renders underneath it, and `retireCopy(token, entry: false)` retires it after the corresponding acknowledgement/readiness. These platform-native names remain idiomatic; the lifecycle is the same. `cover` is an entry operation, not a method to repeat on each normal update.

  Use `NativeUICoveredSnapshots.observe` to notify the JS listener when interaction starts/ends. On iOS, captures rasterize the visible window with `drawHierarchy(in:afterScreenUpdates:)`, including the background under the clipped native component. Screen snapshot views are display replicas and are not used as bitmap sources. UIKit rasterization can differ from the live compositor for materials such as Liquid Glass; validate the appearance on physical devices with the backgrounds your plugin supports. Cache validity therefore includes layout and the plugin's visual-change notifications. The engine does not capture continuously or guarantee every possible renderer can be captured.
