-
-Design-time API binding. Register an app's components by id, bind them to documented APIs in a local studio, and generate plain React Query hooks over an [Orval](https://orval.dev) client. Nothing from this package ships in the app.
-
-Spec: [`spec/FRAMEWORK.md`](spec/FRAMEWORK.md). Agent rules: [`SKILL.md`](SKILL.md).
-
-## Flow
-
-1. **Ids.** Every bindable component gets `componentId="<product>.<screen>[.<sub-screen>].<component>"`, e.g. `collections.worklist.add-notes.submit`.
-2. **Register.** List kinds, screens and components in `bindings.json`.
-3. **Client.** Run Orval on the same OpenAPI file (see below).
-4. **Bind.** In a Vite app, add the dev plugin (below) and click **Bind API** on any screen. Elsewhere, `npx api-binding studio bindings.json` opens it on http://localhost:5180. Edits save to the file.
-5. **Generate.** `npx api-binding generate bindings.json` writes one hook per screen into `output.dir`.
-6. **Wire once.** Each screen calls its hook:
-
-```tsx
-import { useCollectionsWorklistAddNotesApi } from "@/api/screens";
-
-const api = useCollectionsWorklistAddNotesApi({
-  notesType: { selected }, subject: { value: subject }, notes: { value: notes },
-  context: { selection: selectedRows },
-});
-const options = api.notesType.options.bound ? api.notesType.options.data ?? [] : sampleOptions;
-
-<Button componentId="collections.worklist.add-notes.submit" disabled={api.submit.click.running}
-  onClick={async () => { try { await api.submit.click.run(); close(); } catch (e) { toast(String(e)); } }} />
-```
-
-Rebinding changes only the hook bodies; the hook's types come from the registry, so call sites stay put.
-
-## Dev plugin (Vite)
-
-```ts
-// vite.config.ts
-import { bindingStudio } from "api_binding_ui/vite";
-
-export default defineConfig({ plugins: [/* …, */ bindingStudio()] });   // reads ./bindings.json
-```
-
-- `vite dev` only (`apply: "serve"`); `vite build` output contains nothing from it. Keep `api_binding_ui` a devDependency.
-- Adds a floating **Bind API** button to every HTML page (SPA and server-rendered). It opens the studio over the app on the screen being shown, found from the `data-component-id` attributes on the page; an open dialog wins over its page.
-- **Alt+click** any component to open the studio on it; holding Alt outlines components.
-- The studio is served by the dev server under `/__binding/`, which reads and writes `bindings.json` and fetches the docs server-side. Writes are same-origin only.
-
-## bindings.json
-
-```jsonc
-{
-  "version": 3,
-  "openapi": "https://apidocs.highradius.com/documentation-ui/index.yaml",
-  "output": { "dir": "src/api/screens", "client": "@/api/generated" },
-  "kinds": [],        // slot descriptors per component kind
-  "screens": [],      // { id, label, context? }
-  "components": [],   // { id, kind, label, parent? }
-  "bindings": []      // written by the studio
-}
-```
-
-`openapi` is a URL or a path relative to the file; `output.dir` is relative to the file; `output.client` is the import specifier of the Orval output as the app sees it.
-
-## Orval
-
-```ts
-// orval.config.ts
-export default {
-  api: {
-    input: "<same OpenAPI URL or file>",
-    output: { target: "src/api/generated/index.ts", client: "fetch", mode: "single", baseUrl: "<API base URL>" },
-  },
-};
-```
-
-The generated hooks call Orval's functions (named after each `operationId`) and unwrap `{ data, status }`; a non-2xx status throws. A `client: "react-query"` setup with `httpClient: "fetch"` works the same, since it exports the same functions.
-
-## CLI
-
-| Command | Does |
-|---|---|
-| `api-binding studio [file] [--port 5180]` | Local studio. Reads and writes the file; fetches the docs server-side (no CORS). Accepts requests from localhost only. |
-| `api-binding generate [file]` | Validates, then writes the hooks. Any error: nothing is written. Removes only files it generated. |
-| `api-binding generate [file] --check` | Writes nothing; exits 1 when the hooks are out of date. For CI. |
-| `api-binding generate [file] --src src` | Also lists registered ids missing from the source, and `componentId` literals not registered. |

+# api_binding_ui
+
+Design-time API binding. Register an app's components by id, bind them to documented APIs in a local studio, and generate plain React Query hooks over an [Orval](https://orval.dev) client. Nothing from this package ships in the app.
+
+Spec: [`spec/FRAMEWORK.md`](spec/FRAMEWORK.md). Agent rules: [`SKILL.md`](SKILL.md).
+
+## Flow
+
+1. **Ids.** Every bindable component gets `componentId="<product>.<screen>[.<sub-screen>].<component>"`, e.g. `collections.worklist.add-notes.submit`.
+2. **Register.** List kinds and the screen → component → part tree in `registry.json` (below). The studio's navigation comes from it.
+3. **Docs, once.** Download the OpenAPI file into the repo (e.g. `openapi/collections.yaml`). Orval, the studio and the generator all read that one file.
+4. **Generate, then wire once.** Run Orval (below) and `npx api-binding generate bindings.json`. Every screen gets its hook with nothing bound yet; each screen calls it and falls back to its own values:
+
+```tsx
+import { useCollectionsWorklistAddNotesApi } from "@/api/screens";
+
+const api = useCollectionsWorklistAddNotesApi({
+  notesType: { selected }, subject: { value: subject }, notes: { value: notes },
+  context: { selection: selectedRows },
+});
+const options = api.notesType.options.bound ? api.notesType.options.data ?? [] : sampleOptions;
+
+<Button componentId="collections.worklist.add-notes.submit" disabled={api.submit.click.running}
+  onClick={async () => { try { await api.submit.click.run(); close(); } catch (e) { toast(String(e)); } }} />
+```
+
+5. **Bind.** In a Vite app, add the dev plugin (below), run `vite dev` and click **Bind API**. Each save regenerates the hooks and Vite hot-updates the screen, so a confirmed binding makes real calls right away. Elsewhere, `npx api-binding studio bindings.json` opens it on http://localhost:5180, then run `generate`.
+
+Rebinding changes only the hook bodies; the hook's types come from the registry, so call sites stay put.
+
+## Dev plugin (Vite)
+
+```ts
+// vite.config.ts
+import { bindingStudio } from "api_binding_ui/vite";
+
+export default defineConfig({ plugins: [/* …, */ bindingStudio()] });   // reads ./bindings.json
+```
+
+- `vite dev` only (`apply: "serve"`); `vite build` output contains nothing from it. Keep `api_binding_ui` a devDependency.
+- Adds a floating **Bind API** button to every HTML page (SPA and server-rendered). It opens the studio over the app on the screen being shown, found from the `data-component-id` attributes the user can see; anything covered by a layer above it does not count.
+- **Alt+click** any component to open the studio on it; holding Alt outlines components.
+- The studio is served by the dev server under `/__binding/`, which reads and writes `bindings.json` and fetches the docs server-side. Writes are same-origin only.
+- On start it generates the API client (runs the app's `orval.config.ts`, when present) and the screen hooks, before the server takes requests, so a project can run without committed generated code.
+- Every save, and every edit of `registry.json`, regenerates the screen hooks (errors are printed in the dev server's terminal; nothing is written then). Vite does not watch `bindings.json`, so a save never reloads the page under the studio.
+
+## registry.json
+
+What exists in the app, as a tree. Every id extends the id it is nested under. People edit it; the studio only reads it.
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "kinds": [],   // slot descriptors per component kind
+  "screens": [
+    { "id": "collections.worklist", "label": "Worklist",
+      "components": [
+        { "id": "collections.worklist.grid", "kind": "hr-ds/grid", "label": "Grid",
+          "children": [ { "id": "collections.worklist.grid.column.customer-name", "kind": "hr-ds/column", "label": "Customer Name" } ] } ],
+      "screens": [   // sub-screens that open over it
+        { "id": "collections.worklist.add-notes", "label": "Add Notes", "context": [],
+          "components": [ { "id": "collections.worklist.add-notes.submit", "kind": "hr-ds/button", "label": "Submit" } ] } ] }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## bindings.json
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "version": 3,
+  "registry": "registry.json",
+  "openapi": "openapi/collections.yaml",
+  "output": { "dir": "src/api/screens", "client": "@/api/generated" },
+  "bindings": []      // written by the studio
+}
+```
+
+Paths are relative to the file; `output.client` is the import specifier of the Orval output as the app sees it. Without `registry`, `kinds`, `screens` and `components` (flat, with `parent`) can sit in this file instead.
+
+## Orval
+
+```ts
+// orval.config.ts
+export default {
+  api: {
+    input: "./openapi/collections.yaml",
+    output: {
+      target: "src/api/generated/index.ts",   // so output.client "@/api/generated" resolves
+      client: "fetch",
+      mode: "single",
+      override: { mutator: { path: "./src/api/fetcher.ts", name: "apiFetch" } },   // auth + base URL; returns { data, status, headers }
+    },
+  },
+};
+```
+
+The generated hooks call Orval's functions (named after each `operationId`) and unwrap `{ data, status }`; a non-2xx status throws. A `client: "react-query"` setup with `httpClient: "fetch"` works the same, since it exports the same functions.
+
+## CLI
