+React Router v7 integration demo of the shared **donut** wizard machine for the XMachines Play architecture.
+
+[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
+
+## What This Demonstrates
+
+- Shared donut machine reused without framework-specific business logic
+- `PlayRouterProvider` renderer-based integration with React Router — the wizard steps map to `/`, `/bake/mix`, `/bake/fry`, `/bake/decorate`, and `/done`
+- Shell, catalog, and component kit imported from the workspace-only [`@xmachines/play-react-gallery-demo`](../play-react-gallery-demo/README.md) renderer gallery
+- Actor-authoritative navigation: a deep link to a step whose prerequisites are unmet cascades back through the guard chain and the URL is overwritten (State-Driven Reset)
+- Snapshot persistence: the actor snapshot is stored on every transition and resumed on reload, with a **Reset saved donut** header button to drop it
+- Stately inspector attached at creation via `options.inspect` — the debug panel's **Show Inspector** button opens the live machine in its own window
+
+## Running the Demo
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm --filter @xmachines/play-react-router-donut-demo run dev
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:3066`.
+
+## Step-by-Step Code Flow
+
+1. `src/main.tsx` mounts `<App />`.
+2. `src/App.tsx` calls `useMemo(createAppRuntime, [])` to create the actor and browser router, starting the actor once per mounted app.
+3. `src/runtime.ts` pre-builds the `routeMap` (via `createRouteMap(donutMachine)`) and exports `createResumedPlayer`, `resetSavedDonut`, `routeMap`, and `createRegistryResult` — keeping runtime setup separate from React lifecycle concerns.
+4. `createAppRuntime()` creates the actor, builds a `registryResult` from `donutCatalog` + `demoComponents` (both imported from [`@xmachines/play-react-gallery-demo`](../play-react-gallery-demo/README.md)), and constructs a React Router data router with a `RoutedShell` wrapper.
+5. `PlayRouterProvider` wires actor navigation and router changes in both directions, using the pre-built `routeMap`.
+6. `Shell` (imported from the renderer gallery) receives `actor`, `router`, `registryResult`, `inspector`, and the **Reset saved donut** button as its `nav` slot.
+7. Browser tests in `test/browser/` delegate to the shared donut router suite.
+
+## Snapshot Persistence
+
+The gallery creates a fresh actor per selection, so persistence belongs to this demo, which owns exactly one donut actor:
+
+- `definePlayer({ machine: donutMachine, options: { inspect, onTransition } })` — `onTransition` calls `saveDonutSnapshot(actor)`, writing `actor.getPersistedSnapshot()` to `localStorage` after every processed event.
+- `createResumedPlayer()` reads `loadDonutSnapshot()` and passes it through the player factory's resume options — `createPlayer(undefined, { snapshot })`. An absent snapshot (`null`) becomes `undefined`, which starts the machine from its initial state.
+- `resetSavedDonut()` calls `clearDonutSnapshot()` and reloads, wired to the `data-demo-id="reset-snapshot"` header button.
+
+All three helpers come from `@xmachines/play-actor-shared` and degrade to no-ops outside a browser.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `src/main.tsx` - React entry point that mounts `<App />`
+- `src/runtime.ts` - actor factory with persistence hooks, pre-built `routeMap`, and `createRegistryResult` registry wiring
+- `src/App.tsx` - actor lifecycle, provider wiring, `RoutedShell` composition, and the reset-snapshot button
+- `test/browser/shared-demo.browser.test.tsx` - delegates to the shared donut router browser suite
+
+## Architecture Invariants
+
+1. **Actor Authority:** Navigation triggers URL changes, which the `PlayRouterProvider` intercepts and converts into `play.route` events. The actor evaluates these events against its internal guards and transitions.
+2. **Passive Infrastructure:** The router does not execute business logic. The actor dictates whether navigation is permitted.
+3. **State-Driven Reset:** An external history change to an invalid route is overwritten back from actor state — the URL always reflects the machine.

+Solid renderer gallery for [`@xmachines/play-solid`](../../../api/@xmachines/play-solid/README.md) — all nine shared machines behind one picker, actor + `PlayRenderer` without a router.
+
+[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
+
+## What This Demonstrates
+
+- All nine shared machines (fetch, stopwatch, tic-tac-toe, temperature, TodoMVC, trivia, donut, flight, auth) reused without framework-specific business logic
+- A home-screen picker: selecting a machine stops the previous actor, creates a FRESH actor for the chosen machine, and renders its views; "Back to gallery" returns to the picker
+- The five-component demo kit (Page, Panel, Field, Button, Text) defined ONCE and registered with every machine's typed `defineRegistry` catalog — `Field` also registers declarative `checks` with the ValidationProvider and renders `formErrors` in a `[data-demo-error]` node
+- Solid reactivity idioms throughout: `createSignal` for the selection, `<Show keyed>` / `<For>` for the picker and machine subtree, `ctx.props` accessors in every kit component, `watchSignal` + `onCleanup` in the debug panel
+- Routing machines run WITHOUT a router here — navigation happens via their in-view route-action buttons; the actor owns view switching
+- One shared Stately inspector (`createDemoInspector()`) serving every selection — the debug panel's **Show Inspector** button opens the live machine in its own window

+```bash
+pnpm install
+pnpm --filter @xmachines/play-solid-gallery-demo run dev
+```
+
+Then open `http://localhost:3022`.
+
+## Step-by-Step Code Flow
+
+1. `src/main.tsx` mounts `<App />` with `render()` from `solid-js/web`.
+2. `src/App.tsx` renders the picker; `openMachine(entry)` stops any previous actor and calls `entry.createRuntime(inspector.inspect)`.
+3. `src/machines.ts` holds one `GalleryMachineEntry` per machine: `createRuntime` builds a fresh started actor via `definePlayer({ machine, options: { inspect } })()` and its `defineRegistry(catalog, { components: demoComponents, actions: create<Prefix>ActionHandlers(actor) })`.
+4. `src/catalogs.ts` builds all nine catalogs with `defineCatalog(schema, <prefix>CatalogDef)` — router demos import theirs from the barrel.
+5. `Shell` wraps `<PlayUIProvider actor registryResult><PlayRenderer /></PlayUIProvider>` in the standard demo chrome plus the `DebugPanel`; the gallery passes `title` and a `nav` slot carrying the "Back to gallery" button.
+6. Browser tests in `test/browser/` delegate one file per machine to that machine's shared renderer suite.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `src/main.tsx` - Solid entry point that mounts `<App />`
+- `src/App.tsx` - picker, per-selection actor lifecycle, and `Shell` composition
+- `src/machines.ts` - the machine registry: slug, label, and `createRuntime` per machine
+- `src/catalogs.ts` - the nine built catalogs plus the `KitCatalog` typing alias
+- `src/components/` - the five-component kit (Page, Panel, Field, Button, Text) plus `Shell` and `DebugPanel`
+- `src/index.ts` - barrel exporting `App`, the kit, `demoComponents`, `Shell`, `DebugPanel`, and every built catalog for the router demos
+- `test/library-pattern.test.ts` - architecture boundary and invariant assertions
+- `test/browser/<slug>-demo.browser.test.tsx` - one file per machine, delegating to the shared suites
+- `test/browser/gallery-picker.browser.test.tsx` - picker smoke test (open/close roundtrip)
+
+## Architecture Invariants
+
+1. **Actor Authority:** Views dispatch machine events (and `route` actions on routing machines) to the actor. The actor evaluates guards and transitions — Solid never decides which view to render.
+2. **Passive Infrastructure:** `PlayRenderer` observes the `actor.currentView` atom only. It holds no business state and makes no routing decisions.
+3. **Fresh Actor Per Selection:** Reopening a machine always starts from its initial state, matching the demo inspector's "one live machine" semantics.

+
+```bash
+pnpm --filter @xmachines/play-solid-gallery-demo run test
+pnpm --filter @xmachines/play-solid-gallery-demo run test:browser
+```
+
+Expected result: library-pattern invariant tests pass and all nine machine suites plus the picker smoke test complete.
