+
+```tsx
+import { useChat } from "@ai-sdk/react";

+  ));

+### What the theme covers
+
+Document elements, the highlighter's token colours (`.t-kw`, `.t-str`, …), the
+pending-link marker — and *(since 0.30.0)* block spacing via `.brook-block` plus
+the chrome the renderers emit: the code-block header and its controls
+(`.brook-code-header`, `.brook-code-lang`, `.brook-code-copy`,
+`.brook-code-streaming-pill`, `.brook-code-body`), the math and mermaid slots
+(`.brook-math-*`, `.brook-mermaid-*`), GitHub-style alerts (`.markdown-alert*`),
+and the footnote section. Writing your own CSS instead? Those are the class names
+to target.
+
+### Block-state classes
+
+Every block the generic renderer emits is wrapped in a state-carrying element,
+and these names are a **stable styling contract** — React, the DOM mount, and
+the server renderer all emit the same ones:
+
+| Class | Where | Means |
+|---|---|---|
+| `brook-md` | root | always present; `className` is appended to it |
+| `brook-block` | every block wrapper | — |
+| `brook-block-<kind>` | every block wrapper | the lowercased block kind: `brook-block-paragraph`, `brook-block-codeblock`, `brook-block-table`, `brook-block-mathblock`, … |
+| `brook-open` | the streaming tail block | still growing — its HTML may change on the next patch |
+| `brook-speculative` | a block closed by inference | may still be revised |
+| `brook-streaming` | the code / math / mermaid slot | that renderer's own still-arriving state |
+| `brook-bottom-anchor` | the `stickToBottom` sentinel | — |
+| `brook-deferred` | root, while `deferTail` is deferring | — |
+
+Use them to gate anything that must not run on half-arrived content — a KaTeX or
+Mermaid pass skips `.brook-open` / `.brook-streaming` (see the [KaTeX
+recipe](#math-with-katex)) — and to style the tail differently from settled text.
+
+### Streaming caret
+
+The theme ships an **opt-in** caret that follows the streaming tail. Add the
+`brook-caret` class to the root; nothing else changes, and the rendered HTML is
+identical with or without it:
+
+```tsx
+<BrookMarkdown client={client} className="brook-caret" />
+```
+
+```ts
+mountBrookMarkdown(client, el, { className: "brook-caret" });
+```
+
+It is a `::after` bar on the last text element inside the `brook-open` block, so
+exactly one caret is on screen. Code, math, and mermaid fences don't get one —
+they already show a "streaming" pill. Retint it with `--brook-caret`, and it
+stops blinking under `prefers-reduced-motion`. Bringing your own CSS? The
+[block-state classes](#block-state-classes) are all it is built from.
+
+### Tailwind / design systems
+
+Two hooks, no wrapper components: `className` on the root, and the **element
+path** of the [`components`](#custom-components--overrides) map for everything
+inside a block. Overrides apply to the OPEN (streaming) block too, so the tail is
+styled the whole way down instead of popping into place when it settles:
+
+```tsx
+import { BrookMarkdown, type Components } from "brookmd";
+
+// HOIST it (module scope) or memoize. A fresh object each render busts the
+// per-block memo, so every block re-parses on every patch — the single most
+// expensive mistake you can make with this API.

+  p: (p) => <p className="my-3 leading-7" {...p} />,
+  ul: (p) => <ul className="my-3 list-disc pl-6" {...p} />,

+        if (node.closest(".brook-streaming, .brook-open")) return; // still streaming

+
+The two non-obvious parts are the `.brook-streaming, .brook-open` skip (see
+[block-state classes](#block-state-classes)) and the `data-tex` marker, which
+stops the observer re-typesetting what it already rendered. Prefer per-block
+control? `components.MathBlock` receives the decoded LaTeX as `props.text`.
+
+#### Mermaid diagrams
+
+`Mermaid` is a block **slot**: brookmd renders the diagram source and never calls
+a renderer. Render it as plain text while the fence is open and call
+`mermaid.render` only once it closes — a half-arrived diagram throws on every
+patch. The slot carries the fence's rendered `<pre><code>`, so the source is its
+text content:
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
+import mermaid from "mermaid";
+import type { BlockComponentProps, Components } from "brookmd";
+
+// brookmd's own escaped output — the text content IS the diagram source.
+function mermaidSource(html: string): string {
+  const el = document.createElement("div");
+  el.innerHTML = html;
+  return el.textContent ?? "";
+}
+
+const components: Components = {
+  Mermaid: ({ html, open, block }: BlockComponentProps) => {
+    const [svg, setSvg] = useState("");
+    const source = mermaidSource(html);
+    useEffect(() => {
+      if (open || !source) return;
+      let live = true;
+      mermaid
+        .render("brook-mermaid-" + block.id, source)
+        .then((r: { svg: string }) => { if (live) setSvg(r.svg); })
+        .catch(() => { /* keep the source on screen */ });
+      return () => { live = false; };
+    }, [open, source, block.id]);
+    if (open || !svg) return <pre className="brook-mermaid-body">{source}</pre>;
+    return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: svg }} />;
+  },
+};
+```
+
+#### Bring your own highlighter
+
+`components.CodeBlock` (or `components.pre` / `components.code`) bypasses the
+built-in highlighter entirely. If yours is async, render plain while the fence is
+open and highlight once on close — never per patch:
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
+import type { BlockComponentProps, Components } from "brookmd";
+import { highlightToHtml } from "./my-highlighter"; // (code, lang) => Promise<string>
+
+const components: Components = {
+  CodeBlock: ({ text = "", language, open }: BlockComponentProps) => {
+    const [html, setHtml] = useState<string | null>(null);
+    useEffect(() => {
+      if (open) return;
+      let live = true;
+      highlightToHtml(text, language || "text").then((h) => { if (live) setHtml(h); });
+      return () => { live = false; };
+    }, [open, text, language]);
+    if (open || html === null) return <pre><code>{text}</code></pre>;
+    return <pre dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />;
+  },
+};
+```
+
+An override gives up the incremental streaming highlighter (the fence stays plain
+until it closes). If all you need is one more language, keep the fast path and
+register it instead — see [`registerLanguage`](#highlightcode-lang).
+
+#### Interactive task lists
+
+GFM task-list checkboxes are emitted `disabled` (`<input checked="" disabled=""
+type="checkbox">`) because that is GFM's byte-exact output. Override the `input`
+tag to make them live:
+
+```tsx
+import type { Components } from "brookmd";
+
+const components: Components = {
+  input: (p: { type?: string; checked?: boolean }) =>
+    p.type === "checkbox" ? (
+      <input type="checkbox" checked={!!p.checked} onChange={onToggle} />
+    ) : (
+      <input {...p} />
+    ),
+};
+```
+
+The rendered markup is a **view** of the markdown: to persist a toggle, flip
+`[ ]` ⇄ `[x]` in your source string and re-feed it with `setContent`. With
+`blockData: true`, a `List` block's `props.list.items[i].start` is the
+document-absolute offset of that item's marker, which is enough to locate the
+checkbox to rewrite (nested items carry no offset).
+
+#### Lazy images
+
+```tsx
+const components = { img: (p: any) => <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" {...p} /> };
+```
+
+Pair it with `urlTransform` if you also proxy or resize remote image URLs.
+
 ### Structured block data (`setBlockData`)
 
 Set `blockData: true` in the per-stream config and each block carries typed
 structured data on `block.kind.data`, also surfaced as typed fields on the
 component props — so you build toolbars, tables of contents, charts, copy
-buttons, etc. from **data**, never by re-parsing the rendered HTML (no hast tree,
-no rehype). Off by default; when off, output and CommonMark/GFM conformance are

+`props.table` is the whole table as data, so a toolbar is a pure function of it —

+override is invoked on open blocks too and `rows` grows as they arrive:

+// internal quotes. Built from each cell's plaintext `text` — never the display HTML.

+  const line = (cells: { text: string }[]) => cells.map((c) => quote(c.text)).join(",");
+  return [line(table.headers), ...table.rows.map(line)].join("\n");
+}
+

+    </figure>
+  ),
+};
+```
+
+Needs `blockData: true` (with it off `props.table` is `undefined` — guard as

+```ts
+import { registerLanguage } from "brookmd/highlight";
+
+registerLanguage(["ini", "conf"], {
+  // Tried in order at the cursor; every regex MUST be sticky (`/…/y`).
+  pats: [
+    ["com", /[#;][^\n]*/y],

+    ["pun", /[=,]/y],
+    ["ws", /\s+/y],       // catch-all: unmatched characters emit as plain text
+  ],
+  kw: ["true", "false", "null"],
+});
+```
+
+```ts
+registerLanguage(names: string | string[], def: {
+  pats: Array<[token: string, re: RegExp]>;
+  kw?: Iterable<string>;
+}): void
 ```
 
+- **Token names** are the classes the theme already colours: `kw`, `str`, `rx`,
+  `num`, `lt`, `com`, `fn`, `ty`, `mac`, `dec`, `attr`, `sel`, `tag`, `var`,
+  `pun`, `txt`, plus `ws` (emitted verbatim, no span).
+- **`ident` is the keyword hook.** A pattern classed `ident` (e.g.
+  `["ident", /[A-Za-z_$][\w$]*/y]`) resolves per match: a name in `kw` becomes
+  `kw`, a name followed by `(` becomes `fn`, a Capitalized name becomes `ty`, and
+  anything else is emitted as plain text. `kw` on its own does nothing without an
+  `ident` pattern.
+- Registering an existing name **replaces** it, built-ins included. Names are
+  lowercased; register at module scope, before the first fence renders.

 - **The settled markup is byte-identical** to `highlight(text, lang)` either way.
   Turning this on or off changes when colour appears, never what it is.
 
+#### Where the colour front sits: `"wavefront"` (default) vs `"eager"`
+
+`streamingHighlight` takes `boolean | "wavefront" | "eager"`; `true` means
+`"wavefront"`.
+
+|                 | frozen prefix | speculative tail                            |

+| `false`         | plain         | plain (whole fence stays plain until close)  |
+
+The default paints the tail as a **single text node** and updates its character
+data per patch. Colour therefore follows a wavefront one checkpoint — in practice
+one source line — behind the stream head, and at an LLM's token rate that is a
+sub-second lag on one line.
+
+That is a deliberate trade, and the tail is the right place to make it. The tail's
+colours are *already* provisional by contract (see above): they may change on the
+next byte, so they are the least trustworthy pixels on screen. What they cost is
+not: highlighting them means building a span-dense subtree, throwing it away, and
+building it again on every frame. Measured in a real browser on a streamed 32 KB
+fence, that was **~758 ms** of extra work over the same fence with highlighting
+off — and ~96% of it was style/layout/paint, not script. The final DOM is
+identical either way (same 5,748 nodes); it was pure churn. Painting the tail as
+text removes essentially all of it: element creations under the open `<code>` drop
+from 7.5× the settled block's spans to 2.25× (i.e. the two unavoidable passes),
+and trips through the HTML parser from ~1 per patch to ~0.13.

+Pass `"eager"` to put the colour back on the tail per patch — worth it for short
+fences, or when the fence is the whole point of the page and the cost is
+acceptable. Nothing else changes: every mode streams the same TEXT at every patch
