   subject: kit-dx hunt lens crashed mid-run (API connection error) in gui-ux-craft workflow wf_1413e6ba-ed0 - unaudited scope, needs a dedicated follow-up audit this session before this row can be marked completed

Verified findings: COMPONENT_API.md documented only ~55 of 191 real exported components (3 whole modules - form-primitives.js, interaction-primitives.js, overlay-primitives.js - had zero mentions); version header read v0.0.127 vs package.json''s actual 0.0.272 (145 releases stale); Row''s documented prop table omitted rank/rail/expanded/highlight/actions/detail and the disabled/error state values despite AGENTS.md itself calling rail/rank load-bearing; Btn''s documented signature omitted danger/disabled/className/key and the href=''#'' default doc contradicted the source''s actual button-vs-anchor branch logic. Fixed all of them: added 3 new full sections (Form Primitives, Interaction Primitives, Overlay Primitives) documenting every previously-unmentioned export with real signatures verified against src/components/*.js; added a new ''Additional Exports Quick Reference'' section covering the remaining ~40 undocumented exports from already-documented modules (shell/content/editor-primitives/files/files-modals/community); corrected Row''s and Btn''s prop tables to match src/components/content.js:46 and src/components/shell.js:19 exactly; bumped the version header to 0.0.272. git diff COMPONENT_API.md: 96 insertions/6 deletions. No build/lint tooling defect found (checked scripts/build.mjs + all 4 lint scripts against AGENTS.md''s changelog claims - all consistent, no false claim).'
