+// ===== UI RULES =====
+// - Default screen background is BLACK — always set bgColor and text color explicitly
+// - Only use style properties listed below — never invent new ones, they may not exist in the engine
+// - Extract repeated styles into Style<T> objects and repeated UI into factory functions
+// - Keep layout minimal — no wrapper containers that exist only to align something (alignment is a container property)
+
+// ===== UI COMPONENTS =====
+// Every element is created by a global factory function (never `new`) that takes only the element's
+// CONTENT — children as plain arguments (or text/src/...). Everything else — styles, handlers — is
+// configured by chaining: every configuring method returns the element itself, so construction reads
+// as one chain.
+UIColumn(UIText("Title"), UIButton(UIText("Go")))
+// An ARRAY argument is flattened into the children — pass items.map(Row) directly, no spread:
+UIColumn(header, items.map(Row), footer)
+
+// UIRow, UIColumn — containers (UIColumn stacks vertically, UIRow horizontally)
+UIRow(...children) / UIColumn(...children)
+// Child management — imperative, no diffing; works before and after the element is on screen:
+//   .append(...nodes), .insert(index, ...nodes), .remove(...nodes), .setContent(nodes), .children (readonly)
+// .setContent is the "re-render" primitive — build a fresh array (items.map(Row)) and swap it in.
+// For long or unbounded data use UIVirtualizedList instead of setContent over a big array.
+
+// UIScreen — root screen, always fills the device. Behaves as a UIColumn.
+UIScreen(...children)
+// .open() / .close() — show/close directly (single-screen apps; open() while a Router is active hides the router)
+// .onOpen(cb), .onClose(cb) — fire on EVERY activation, not just the first: Router.push away fires onClose,
+//   popping back fires onOpen again. Anything started in onOpen (loops, intervals, sockets) MUST be stopped
+//   in onClose (see TIMERS & FRAME LOOP above).
+// .onTouchStart(cb) — fires for touches anywhere on the screen; use for full-screen gestures (see TOUCH GESTURES above)
+// .onBackPressed(cb) — Android hardware/gesture back; typically Router.pop()
+// Screens NEVER scroll — the canonical screen is fixed chrome (header, tab bar) + ONE UIScrollable body
+//   with flexGrow: 1: UIScreen(Header(), UIScrollable(content).style({ flexGrow: 1 }))
+// Note: a screen always fills the device — sizing styles on it (width, height, flexGrow, flexShrink, position) are no-ops
+
+// UITabs — THE bottom-tab app shell: swipeable tabs (a UIPager) + a themed tab bar, as one UIScreen.
+// USE THIS for every tabbed app — never hand-build a tab bar. Keys are tab ids, in tab order:
+const tabs = UITabs({
+    home:    { label: "Home",    icon: assetIcon("lucide:house"), screen: homeScreen },
+    profile: { label: "Profile", icon: assetIcon("lucide:user"),  screen: profileScreen },
+})
+Router.init(tabs)          // UITabs IS a UIScreen — present it directly
+// .select(id), .tab (getter), .onSelect(cb(id, i)) — fires on a bar tap, swipe, or select()
+// .badge(id, value) — true = dot, number/string = count pill, false/null/0 clears
+// .pager — the UIPager underneath; UIPager.push(detail) from any screen keeps the bar
+// Styling is THEME-driven: theme({ primaryColor, mutedColor, tabbarBg, tabbarBorder, badgeColor })
+//   restyles the bar app-wide (dark fallbacks built in). For a custom bar layout use UIPager below.
+
+// UIPager — the navigation primitive under UITabs: sibling tabs that swipe natively, each tab its
+// OWN push/pop stack. Reach for it directly for a plain stack (one-screen pager) or a fully custom
+// tab bar. Renders no bar — build your own next to it; give the pager flexGrow: 1.
+UIPager(...tabs)   // the tab root screens (arrays flatten); tabs are FIXED at construction
+// .select(i, animated?) (instant by default), .index, .onSelect(cb(i)) — fires for taps AND swipes: sync the
+//   bar highlight here. Tabs keep their stack/scroll state when switched away and back.
+// .push(screen) — slides onto the CURRENT tab; edge back-swipe / Android back pops natively.
+//   .pop(), .popToRoot(), .replace(screen), .depth (tab swiping is disabled while > 1), .onChange(cb(depth))
+// Ambient from any screen, no reference needed: UIPager.push(screen) / UIPager.pop() / UIPager.current
+// pager.push = detail INSIDE the tab (bar stays); Router.push = above the whole shell (bar covered).
+// Note: tab screens are built up front, but onOpen fires only when the tab becomes visible (maybe never) —
+//   load initial data at build time, keep onOpen for re-entry.
+const pager = UIPager(homeTab, searchTab, profileTab).style({ flexGrow: 1 })
+Router.init(UIScreen(pager, tabBar))   // bar buttons: .onClick(() => pager.select(i))
+
+// UIWidget — floating overlay, independent of screens, always position: fixed in device coordinates
+// Persists across Router navigation — create ONCE at module scope, reuse; hidden by default.
+UIWidget(...children)
+// .show(), .hide(), .isShow (getter), .onTouchStart(cb), .onBackPressed(cb)
+// extra style: overlayColor — full-screen scrim BEHIND the widget that blocks taps underneath, turning it into
+//   a modal; null (default) = no layer, "transparent" = invisible but still blocks. A scrim tap fires
+//   .onOverlayTap(cb) — usually () => widget.hide()
+// If a widget belongs to one screen only, pair it with that screen's lifecycle:
+//   screen.onOpen(() => sheet.show()).onClose(() => sheet.hide())
+// Exit animation: .animateTo({ ..., commit: false }) then .hide() — see animateTo below.
+
+// UIModal — a UIWidget prewired as a dialog: USE THIS for confirm/alert dialogs
+// Scrim on by default (overlayColor "rgba(0,0,0,0.5)"), animated show/hide (200ms fade), scrim tap and
+// back button close it automatically. Create ONCE at module scope, like any widget.
+UIModal(...children)
+// .show(), .hide() (animated on a modal), .isOpen (getter), .onOpen(cb), .onClose(cb), .dismissible(false)
+//   — plus the full UIWidget surface
+// .transition(hidden) — replace the show/hide animation: `hidden` is the off-screen pose (show animates FROM
+//   it, hide TO it; its duration times both), e.g. .transition({ transform: "translateY(480px)", duration: 250 })
+//   for a slide. Px only — no % in transform.
+// Position/size it like a widget (left/right/top/...); style the box (bgColor, borderRadius, p)
+
+// UIBottomSheet — a UIModal pinned to the bottom edge: USE THIS for every bottom sheet, never hand-build one
+// Content-sized by default (as tall as its children, capped at the screen) — one position, drag down to
+// dismiss: the action-sheet shape. Native hosts own the drag (snap, velocity, scroll handoff); web shows it static.
+UIBottomSheet(...children)
+// .detents([0.3, 0.6, 1]) — snap positions, ascending fractions of screen height (the map-app model). Call
+//   BEFORE show(); sizes the sheet to the HIGHEST detent — lower detents show the top slice of the content.
+// .setDetent(i) (animated), .detent (getter), .onDetentChange(cb(i)) — every settle: finger snap or setDetent()
+// .show()/.hide() slide in/out — plus the full UIModal surface (scrim, onOpen/onClose, dismissible).
+//   Dragging below the lowest detent closes it (fires onClose); .dismissible(false) collapses there instead —
+//   the persistent map sheet (pair it with overlayColor: null so the page behind stays interactive).
+// An inner UIScrollable just works: it scrolls at the top detent; pulling down from its top drags the sheet.
+
+// UIPopover — a UIModal prewired as an ANCHORED menu: USE THIS for dropdowns, context menus, tooltips
+// Transparent intercepting scrim (outside tap dismisses; content under it can't scroll), 120ms fade,
+// automatic placement: below the anchor, flips above near the bottom edge, clamped into the viewport.
+// Attaches itself to Presentable.current (hides with the page it opened on).
+UIPopover(...children)
+// .show(anchor?) — anchor: any element, or { x: ev.clientX, y: ev.clientY } for long-press context menus
+// .hide() — plus the full UIModal surface (isOpen, onOpen/onClose, dismissible, transition)
+// Style the menu box yourself (width, bgColor, borderRadius); do NOT set left/top — show(anchor) owns them.
+
+// UIScrollable — THE scroll container: a screen's scrolling body, a list under a pinned header, a carousel
+UIScrollable(...children)
+// extra styles: scrollDirection ("horizontal" | "vertical", default vertical), showScrollbar: boolean,
+//               overscrollMode ("none" | "absorb" | "default"), refreshControlColor — tints the pull-to-refresh spinner,
+//               keyboardDismissMode ("interactive" | "scroll" | "none") — "scroll": any drag dismisses the keyboard at once (search lists)
+//               snap ("none" | "start" | "center" | "end", default "none") — paging: a released drag settles on a
+//                 direct child's boundary; the value picks where the child rests in the viewport. Snap targets are
+//                 the children themselves, so item widths can differ. (Mobile hosts; web degrades to free scrolling.)
+// .onScroll(cb(pos)), .onScrollRelease(cb), .onOverscroll(cb(delta))
+// .onRefresh(async cb) — pull-to-refresh; spinner stays until the returned promise settles. Attach BEFORE the
+//   element mounts; vertical only; native hosts (web preview: no-op). UIVirtualizedList has the same contract.
+// Note: NO programmatic scrolling (no scrollTo) — if you need scrollTo/scrollToEnd, use UIVirtualizedList
+// Note: defaults flexShrink: 1 (scrolls instead of overflowing); wrapping ancestors still need flexShrink: 1
+//   themselves. flexGrow: 1 to fill the remaining space is still yours to set.
+// Carousel = scrollDirection: "horizontal" + FIXED-width cards + snap: "start" ("center" for a card-deck-with-peek)
+
+// UIVirtualizedList<T> — windowed list for LONG or unbounded data (feeds, chats, search results): only the
+// visible rows (plus a buffer) are mounted. Use it instead of UIScrollable + map() whenever the item count
+// is large, grows over time, or is unknown.
+UIVirtualizedList<T>({
+    keyOf: (item: T) => string,            // STABLE unique id per item (never the array index)
+    render: (item: T) => UINodeChild,      // builds one row; called lazily as rows enter the window
+    estimatedHeight: number | ((item: T) => number),  // px guess per row (real height measured after mount)
+    overscan?: number,                     // extra px mounted above/below the viewport (default: one viewport)
+    inverted?: boolean,                    // true = chat mode: starts scrolled to the end, append at bottom auto-scrolls
+})
+// Data is driven IMPERATIVELY (no diffing) — call these, never re-create the list:
+//   .setData(items: T[])                    // replace everything (diffed by key)
+//   .append(...items) / .prepend(...items)  // variadic; append = newest chat msg; prepend = history, no scroll jump
+//   .update(...items)                       // re-render rows with the same keyOf(); unknown keys ignored
+//   .removeByKey(...keys)
+//   .itemCount (getter) / .getItem(key)
+//   .scrollTo(offset, animated?) / .scrollToKey(key, animated?) / .scrollToEnd(animated?) / .onScroll(cb(pos))
+//   .onEndReached(thresholdPx: number, cb)   // threshold FIRST and required; fires near the BOTTOM — load next page
+//   .onStartReached(thresholdPx: number, cb) // near the TOP (chat history)
+//   .onRefresh(async cb)                     // pull-to-refresh, same contract as UIScrollable (attach before mount)
+// Edge callbacks are latched — fire once entering the threshold zone, re-arm when scrolled back out;
+// still keep your own busy/end flags for paging.
+// extra styles: refreshControlColor + element styles — no intrinsic height: give it flexGrow: 1 (or an explicit height) or it collapses to 0
+// Note: render() must be pure over the item — a row may be unmounted and re-rendered at ANY time, so its output
+//   can't depend on outside mutable state. To change a mounted row, change the item and call .update(item).
+//   estimatedHeight only needs to be close — accurate guesses just reduce scroll jitter.
+
+// UIText
+UIText(text)
+// .text (get/set) — mutating re-renders immediately
+// extra styles: fontSize (default 14), fontWeight (number | "normal" | "bold"), fontFamily, color,
+//   textAlign ("start"|"center"|"end"|"left"|"right", default left), lineHeight, fontStyle ("normal"|"italic"),
+//   textDecoration ("underline"|"line-through"|"none"), letterSpacing
+
+// UIImage
+UIImage(src)  // src: string url | FetchResponse | File | SvgSource | Canvas (see CANVAS section —
+              // charts/generated graphics; redraw + canvas.update() refreshes the shown image)
+// .src (get/set) — swaps the displayed image
+// extra styles: objectFit ("cover"|"contain"|"fill"), tintColor (SVG only), borderRadius (number px only on UIImage)
+// .setSourceRect(x, y, w, h) — crop to a sub-rect of the source (texture px); frame fills the box, objectFit
+//   ignored. Chainable, safe to call before mount. For atlases/spritesheets — swap the rect to change frame.
+// Note: tintColor applies only to SVG sources — it replaces ALL fill and stroke colors (monochrome icons only)
+// Note: a bare relative path won't resolve — plain strings are https:// URLs; project files via import or asset('./photo.png')
+
+// UIVideo — the on-screen surface only; playback lives entirely on the VideoPlayer (see AUDIO / VIDEO above)
+UIVideo(player)
+// .player (readonly) — the VideoPlayer passed at construction
+// extra styles: objectFit ("cover"|"contain"|"fill")
+const player = new VideoPlayer(src)
+const video = UIVideo(player).style({ width: "100%", height: 220, objectFit: "cover" })
+player.play()   // stop playback in the screen's onClose; .dispose() when gone for good
+
+// UIButton — the only TAPPABLE container: a UIRow with children centered on both axes by default.
+// To make anything clickable (a card, a list row, an icon) — wrap it in a UIButton.
+UIButton(...children)
+// .onClick(cb), .onTouchStart(cb), .isPressed()   // gestures: see TOUCH GESTURES above
+// extra styles: onPressed: { bgColor, opacity, ..., duration? } — style while the finger is down;
+//               rippleColor ("default" or a Color, Android only)
+// Note: press feedback is OPT-IN — nothing happens visually unless you set it. rippleColor replaces the
+//   onPressed visual on Android, so rippleColor + onPressed = ripple on Android, onPressed dim on iOS.
+// Note: buttons render no chrome of their own — style bgColor/borderRadius/padding yourself, and give a
+//   button an explicit height (on its own it is only as tall as its text). flexDirection: "column" for cards.
+
+// UIInput / UITextArea — single-line / multi-line text field
+UIInput() / UITextArea()
+// .value (get/set), .onChange(cb(value)), .onFocus(cb), .onBlur(cb), .focus(), .blur()
+// .onSubmit(cb(value)) — keyboard return key (UIInput ONLY; in UITextArea Enter is a newline)
+// extra styles: placeholder, placeholderColor, plus text styles (fontSize, color, ...)
+//   type: "text"|"password"|"search"|"phone"|"email"|"number"|"decimal"|"url"|"date"|"time"
+//   enterKey: "done"|"go"|"next"|"search"|"send" (UIInput only) — return-key label
+//   maxLength: number; autocapitalize: "none"|"words"|"sentences"|"characters"; autocorrect: boolean
+//   keyboardShrink: boolean (default true) — false: keyboard OVERLAYS the UI, no relayout (chat composers)
+//   keyboardDismiss: boolean (default true) — false: taps never dismiss the keyboard (chat composers)
+//   onFocused: { borderColor, ..., duration? } — style while focused (like onPressed)
+// Note: type values are KEYBOARD HINTS, not validators — "number" doesn't block pasted letters. The
+//   phone-pad value is "phone" (there is NO "tel").
+// Note: "date"/"time" open the native PICKER in the keyboard slot (typing disabled). .value and onChange stay
+//   canonical ("YYYY-MM-DD" / "HH:MM" 24h) while the field displays localized — set/compare canonical only.
+// Note: on submit the keyboard dismisses UNLESS enterKey is "next" — then call next.focus() in onSubmit:
+//   name.style({ enterKey: "next" }).onSubmit(() => email.focus())
+// Note: keyboard dismissal is automatic (tap on a NON-INTERACTIVE area; return key; iOS Done bar on number
+//   pads). Taps on buttons/other inputs NEVER dismiss (the control acts, focus stays), and scrolling doesn't
+//   either unless the scrollable opts in via keyboardDismissMode — so dropdowns/autocomplete under a focused
+//   input just work. The host scrolls the focused field into view — write NO keyboard code beyond the
+//   enterKey: "next" chain (and .blur(); keyboardDismiss: false on a chat composer).
+// Note: an input collapses to its placeholder's width and its text's height — see SIZING below.
+
+// app.keyboardHeight (logical px, 0 hidden) + app.addEventListener("keyboard", cb(height, durationMs)) —
+//   the keyboard's RAW overlap with the viewport. Pair with keyboardShrink: false for a chat composer:
+//   app.addEventListener("keyboard", h => { composer.style.pb = Math.max(24, h) })
+
+// UISpacer — flexible empty space (defaults flexGrow: 1), eats free space along the main axis.
+// Only when plain alignment can't express it (one item pushed to the far end while the rest stay put):
+UIRow(title, UISpacer(), closeButton)
+// If ALL children move together, justifyContent ("space-between", "flex-end", ...) does it with no extra element.
+
+// @deprecated UIBox — legacy centered container: defaults justifyContent AND alignItems to "center"
+// (column direction). Kept for old projects — write new code with UIRow/UIColumn + explicit alignment.
+
+// ===== STYLING =====
+// Every UI element has a .style() method. It MERGES the given styles (does not replace) and RETURNS the
+// element, so calls chain and later calls only override the keys they mention:
+UIText("Hi").style({ color: "white" }).style({ fontSize: 20 }).onClick(...)
+
+// Ways to set styles — pick the right one:
+//   1. .style({...})           → declarative merge, the default. Use this 99% of the time.
+//   2. el.style.foo = bar      → direct single-property mutation after creation (hot paths),
+//                                e.g. el.style.transform = `translateY(${y}px)`; el.style.foo reads it back.
+//   3. .animateTo({..., duration, delay?, commit?, loop?})  → tween current → given values (duration in MS).
+//        Targets are COMMITTED into the style immediately; pass commit: false to play without persisting —
+//        the exit-animation pattern (fade an overlay, then .hide(); next show() starts from the intact style).
+//        loop: true | n repeats the tween — loopMode: "ping-pong" (default: there and back) or "restart"
+//        (snap back + replay — full-turn spinners via transform: "rotate(360deg)", shimmers). A looping
+//        animation is an effect, not a state change: it never commits, delay applies once, and it stops on
+//        the element's next animateTo/animateFrom or when it leaves the screen. (web/iOS/desktop; Android plays once until its next runtime.)
+//   4. .animateFrom({..., duration, delay?})          → snap to given values, animate back to current (fade-in).
+//        Never modifies the stored style.
+// For free-value tweens use animate() — see ANIMATION above.
+// Older code may pass a style object as the FIRST factory argument — legacy; write new styles with .style().
+
+// Mutable CONTENT properties are NOT styles — they live on the element:
+//   UIText: .text    UIInput/UITextArea: .value    UIImage: .src    UIButton: .isPressed()
+myText.text = "Updated"    // re-renders immediately
+
+// Style<T> is a global helper type for reusable style objects, no import needed:
+const btn: Style<UIButton> = { bgColor: "#333", borderRadius: 12 }
+
+// --- Style vocabulary ---
+// Layout is Flexbox-only (Yoga engine). No CSS grid, no block layout.
+// Every element is a flex container, position: relative, flexDirection: column by default (UIRow AND UIButton flip to row).
+// Container layout: flexDirection, justifyContent ("flex-start"|"center"|"flex-end"|"space-between"|"space-evenly"),
+//                   alignItems ("flex-start"|"center"|"flex-end"|"stretch", default "stretch"), gap, flexWrap
+// Flex child: flex (flex: 1 ≡ grow 1 + shrink 1 + basis 0 — see SIZING), flexGrow (default 0),
+//             flexShrink (default 0), flexBase (NOT flexBasis), alignSelf, aspectRatio
+// Size:       width, height, minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, maxHeight
+// Position:   position ("relative"|"absolute"|"static"), top, left, right, bottom
+// Padding:    p, px, py, pt, pb, pl, pr        (≡ padding, paddingHorizontal, paddingVertical, paddingTop, ...)
+// Margin:     m, mx, my, mt, mb, ml, mr        — margins also accept "auto" (mx: "auto" centers a fixed-width element)
+// Background (containers/screen/button/input/video; UIText/UIImage/UISpacer have bgColor only):
+//   bgColor, bgImage (string | FetchResponse | File), bgSize ("cover"|"contain"|"tile"), bgGradient
+//   bgGradient: a CSS linear-gradient() or radial-gradient() string, e.g. "linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0,0,0,0.7), transparent)"
+//   or "radial-gradient(circle at 50% 40%, #7B2FF7, #0a0a1a)". Comma-separate several gradients to stack them (first = on top).
+//   Layers paint bottom-to-top: bgColor → bgImage → bgGradient (gradient over image = text scrim).
+//   bgImage is decoration BEHIND children — an image that IS the content belongs in UIImage.
+// Border: border ("1px solid #333" or bare width), borderWidth, borderColor,
+//   borderRadius (UIValue, or per-corner string "0 0 20 20"), per-side shorthands (borderTop, ...) and
+//   longhands (borderTopWidth, borderTopColor, borderTopLeftRadius, ...)
+// Other: display ("none" | "flex"), opacity (0..1), transform (CSS string, e.g. `translateY(12px)` — great for
+//   gestures), overflow ("hidden" | "visible"), boxSizing ("border-box" | "content-box"),
+//   pointerEvents ("all" | "none" — "none" lets taps pass through)
+
+// --- Values & units (UIValue) ---
+// number (px) | "50%" | "50vw" | "50vh" | "50vmin" | "50vmax" | "1.5em" | "calc(...)" | "min(...)" | "max(...)" | "clamp(min, val, max)" | "var(--name)" / "var(--name, fallback)"
+// Note: number value → logical px; string value → same semantics as on the web
+// Note: "em" resolves against the element's OWN fontSize (default 14) — there is NO style inheritance
+// Note: calc()/min()/max()/clamp() combine px, viewport units, em, safe-area keywords, and nest freely —
+//       but do NOT support % ("calc(100% - 20px)" is invalid; use "calc(100vw - 20px)")
+
+// --- Colors in UI styles ---
+// hex "#f33"/"#f33c"/"#ff3333"/"#ff3333cc", packed int 0xff3333, "rgb(...)"/"rgba(...)", and exactly these names:
+// white black red green blue yellow orange purple gray cyan magenta brown transparent clear
+// (UI styles only — engine APIs are hex/packed-int only, see COLORS above)
+
+// --- Safe areas & comfort ---
+// Env keywords resolving to the device insets (notch, home indicator):
+//   "safe-top" | "safe-bottom" | "safe-left" | "safe-right";  "safe-all" — p / m shorthands only
+// Comfort tokens — where content comfortably starts, never collapse to 0: max(safe-edge, knob) on clearance
+// insets (iOS notch/home indicator, gesture nav); past exact-height system BARS (Android status/nav bar) the
+// knob ADDS instead. Knob defaults: 12 top, 4 bottom, 16 horizontal (the page gutter):
+//   "comfort-top" | "comfort-bottom" | "comfort-left" | "comfort-right"
+//   "comfort-x" — px/mx | "comfort-y" — py/my | "comfort-all" — p / m
+// Accepted on per-side padding & margin, position offsets (top/left/bottom/right), and inside calc()/min()/max():
+.style({ pb: "comfort-bottom" })        // bottom bar: 34 over a home indicator, 52 above Android's button bar, 4 on inset-less devices
+.style({ px: "comfort-x" })             // page gutter that also clears the notch in landscape
+.style({ pb: "calc(comfort-bottom + 56px)" })   // scroll content clearing a 56px floating bar
+
+// --- Theme variables ---
+// theme({...}) merges app vars into one table; styles read them with "var(--name)" (numbers are px
+// lengths, null removes a key). Re-calling re-styles the LIVE UI — dark mode is a second call.
+// Returned accessors ARE the var() strings; system vars are statics (theme.primaryColor, …):
+const T = theme({ primaryColor: "#0A84FF", "comfort-left": 20 })
+label.style({ color: T.primaryColor, pl: "var(--comfort-left)" })
+// SYSTEM DEFAULTS: theme({ color, fontFamily }) drive the DEFAULT text color/font — all text
+// without explicit values follows (light theme = set once, not color:"black" per label).
+// Bare comfort-* tokens apply the safe-area formula; "var(--comfort-top)" reads the raw knob.
+// "var(--name, fallback)" applies the fallback while the key is unset. Env names (safe-*, vw/vh) are not theme keys.
+
+// --- Responsive: onLandscape / onPortrait ---
+// Any style can nest orientation overrides, merged on top while the device is in that orientation:
+.style({ flexDirection: "column", p: 16, onLandscape: { flexDirection: "row", p: 32 } })
+// Keys: onLandscape, onPortrait.
+
+// --- Style classes ($name) — named states that CASCADE ---
+// A $-prefixed key in .style() declares a named style state (like onPressed, but yours: selected,
+// checked, expanded); duration/delay inside the block animate the swap. Drive it via el.class:
+const item = UIButton(UIText("Wi-Fi")).style({ bgColor: "#151515", $selected: { bgColor: "#1d2b45", duration: 150 } })
+item.onClick(ev => ev.target.class.selected = !ev.target.class.selected)
+// el.class.selected reads/writes a boolean; el.class({ a: true, b: false }) is the chainable batch
+// form; names work with or without the $. Class state persists across screen close/reopen.
+// CASCADE: a class set on an element also activates same-name $ blocks on ALL its descendants —
+// one toggle restyles a whole composite control, each part declaring its own reaction:
+UIButton(
+    UIImage(icon).style({ tintColor: "#888", $selected: { tintColor: "#5b8cff" } }),
+    UIText("Label").style({ color: "#888", $selected: { color: "#5b8cff" } }),
+)   // .class.selected = true → icon AND label restyle (the cascade stops at hosted screens/widgets)
+// $pressed / $focused are RESERVED — the system toggles them (finger down / input focused) and they
+// CASCADE, so a button's children can restyle during its press. onPressed/onFocused stay
+// own-element-only — use those on nested interactives (a button inside a clickable card):
+UIButton(UIText("Buy").style({ $pressed: { color: "#999" } })).style({ $pressed: { transform: "scale(0.97)" } })
+// Precedence on the same prop: base < $classes < $pressed/$focused < onPressed/onFocused.
+
+// --- Defaults that surprise ---
+// flexShrink: 0 — elements don't shrink to fit (exception: UIScrollable, UIVirtualizedList and UIPager
+//   default flexShrink: 1 so they shrink/scroll instead of overflowing; wrapping ancestors still default to 0).
+// flexGrow: 0 — nothing grows along the main axis without asking; no implicit min-sizes either.
+// alignItems: "stretch" — children FILL the cross axis by default; set a size or alignSelf to opt out.
+// overflow: "hidden" — children are clipped to the parent's box; set overflow: "visible" to let them escape.
+// boxSizing: "border-box" — width/height include padding & border.
+// Screen bg is black, default text is WHITE at fontSize 14 (retarget once via theme({ color, fontFamily })).
+// On any light surface — white cards, sheets, inputs — white text renders invisible: use dark text there
+// ("#111"/black), checking every UIText against the surface it actually sits on, not the screen.
+
+// --- Screen size ---
+// Units are logical px (iOS pt / Android dp), NOT physical pixels — fontSize: 16 looks the same on every device.
+// Design for a phone canvas: width ~360–430 (use 390 as default), height ~670–930.
+// Vertical space is scarce — SE-class screens run ~670, so long content goes in a UIScrollable body (screens never scroll).
+
+// ===== REUSABLE COMPONENTS =====
+// Extract repeated UI into factory functions — they return elements you can chain methods on:
+
+const ClickableCard = (title: string, subtitle: string) => UIButton(
+    UIText(title).style({ fontWeight: 700, color: "white" }),
+    UIText(subtitle).style({ color: "#888", fontSize: 13 })
+).style({ px: 16, py: 12, gap: 4, flexDirection: "column", alignItems: "flex-start" })
+
+// Use like any other element — chain after the call:
+ClickableCard("Title", "Subtitle").style({ bgColor: "#111" }).onClick(() => ...)
+
+// For shared styles use Style<T>:
+const headingStyle: Style<UIText> = { color: "#ffffff", fontSize: 24, fontWeight: 700 }
+
+// ===== CAPTURING ELEMENT REFERENCES =====
+// Use an assignment expression right in the children — standard TypeScript:
+
+let label: UIText
+let input: UIInput
+
+UIColumn(
+    label = UIText("Hello"),   // = both assigns the variable AND adds the element to the column
+    input = UIInput(),
+)
+
+// Later:
+label.text = "Updated"
+input.value  // read current value
+
+// Prefer captured refs over .children[] — refs are typed; children entries need a cast
+// ((button.children[0] as UIText).text vs buttonText.text).
+
+// ===== CONDITIONAL CHILDREN =====
+// A null / undefined / false child is skipped — no element, no layout slot.
+UIColumn(header, isLoading ? spinner : null, showFooter && footer)
+// Works for whole blocks too — a falsy argument is skipped, an array argument is flattened:
+UIColumn(header, showList && items.map(Row))
+
+// ===== SIZING: the two axes behave differently =====
+// MAIN axis (row → width, column → height): elements stay as small as their content — nothing grows
+//   without flexGrow: 1 (no implicit min-sizes).
+// CROSS axis: children fill the parent by default (alignItems defaults to "stretch"); set an explicit size
+//   or alignSelf to opt out.
+// So UIRow(UIInput()) leaves the input at placeholder width — give it flexGrow: 1 to fill the row.
+// EQUAL-width children (tab bars, button pairs): flex: 1 on each — it grows from a ZERO basis, so they end up
+//   equal. flexGrow: 1 alone splits only the LEFTOVER space on top of content-sized bases — the child with the
+//   longer label stays wider.
+// Prefer giving UIInput and UIButton an explicit height — on their own they're only as tall as their text.
+
+// ===== ELEMENT DIMENSIONS =====
+// Sizes exist only after layout — no synchronous el.width getter.
+// .onLayout(cb) — react to the element's measured box. Fires on first layout and whenever the
+// box changes (resize, content change).
+// layout: { width, height, top, left }   // logical px; top/left RELATIVE TO THE PARENT
+UIButton().onLayout(({ width }) => { buttonWidth = width })
+// .getBoundingClientRect() — ABSOLUTE device-space rect on demand, like the web API: the same
+// space UIWidget top/left position in, scroll offsets included. null before mount.
+//   { x, y, left, top, right, bottom, width, height }
+// For dropdown/context menus DON'T hand-roll with this — UIPopover.show(anchor) does the whole
+// anchoring (placement, flip, clamp, attach). Reach for the raw rect only for custom positioning.
+// Position once at an interaction — never poll per frame.
+
+// ===== ROUTER (multi-page apps) =====
+// Tabs are UITabs' job, in-tab stacks UIPager's (see UI COMPONENTS) — the Router owns what sits ABOVE the shell.
+Router.init(homeScreen, opts?: { showDefaultBackButton?: boolean })  // call once in the entry file (default false)
+Router.push(screen)      // push onto the stack, screen becomes active
+Router.pop(to?: number)  // default -1 = one back; negative = relative (-2 = back two), 0/positive = absolute
+                         // stack index (0 = home). Popped screens' native trees are destroyed; the UIScreen
+                         // object stays reusable (push remounts it).
+Router.replace(screen, opts?: { transition })  // swap the top screen; transition: "slide-from-left" |
+    // "slide-from-right" | "slide-from-top" | "slide-from-bottom" | "zoom" | "zoom-out" | "zoom-in" | "fade" | "none" (default "fade")
+Router.current                   // the active UIScreen (getter)
+Router.hide() / Router.restore() // hide/restore the whole router — stack stays alive; fires the top screen's onClose/onOpen
+Router.addEventListener("change", (screen: UIScreen) => ...) / .removeEventListener("change", cb)  // after every navigation
+// Screens BELOW the top stay mounted — element trees and state survive, they're just not rendered.
+// push fires the outgoing screen's onClose + the incoming one's onOpen; pop fires them in reverse and
+// re-fires onOpen on the screen you land on.
+
+// ===== FONTS =====
+// System fonts need no setup — use as fontFamily directly: "serif", "sans-serif", "monospaced".
+// Custom fonts: the font() compile macro installs a font AND returns its family name. No loading
+// code, no promises, no gating — just build the UI; the host has the faces ready at first paint.
+theme({ fontFamily: font("manrope") })                                // app-wide default text font
+UIText("Big").style({ fontFamily: font("unbounded"), fontSize: 32 })  // or per node
+font("ibm-plex-sans", { weights: [400, 600], italic: true })  // narrow/extend the installed faces
+// Default weights are ~400/500/700 — install the weights you use (fontWeight: 600 wants a 600 face).
+// The argument must be a string literal. Registry ids (all OFL, cyrillic-capable unless noted):
+//   sans: inter manrope golos-text onest rubik nunito montserrat ibm-plex-sans pt-sans jost exo-2
+//   display: unbounded russo-one oswald comfortaa space-grotesk(latin only)
+//   serif: playfair-display lora pt-serif cormorant literata
+//   mono: jetbrains-mono fira-code ibm-plex-mono   handwriting: caveat pacifico
+// A project's own file: font("./fonts/Brand.ttf") → real family name read from the file itself
+// (weight/italic too — no options); two weight files of one family return the same name.
+// registerFont(family, url, {weight, style}) survives ONLY for runtime-computed URLs — rare.
+// No style inheritance — set fontFamily per UIText or via theme() (extract a shared Style<UIText>).
+
+// ===== SVG IMAGES =====
+// SvgSource wraps raw SVG XML for use as an image source: UIImage(SvgSource(`<svg ...>`)).
+// Rendered by native nanosvg, not a browser — only basic geometry works (path, rect, circle, line, polygon,
+// solid fill/stroke, opacity, transform, gradients). No text, filters or CSS — they vanish on device.
+// Prefer a separate .svg file over inline XML — importing one yields a ready SvgSource (and gives the user a preview):
+import heart from './assets/heart.svg'        // or inline: asset('./assets/heart.svg')
+UIImage(heart).style({ width: 24, height: 24, tintColor: "#666" })  // tintColor recolors the icon
+// Keep inline SvgSource(`...`) only for SVG generated dynamically from data.
+
+// ===== ICONS (assetIcon) =====
+// Use real icons instead of emoji. assetIcon("pack:name") resolves the icon at COMPILE time and
+// inlines it as an image source (same shape as SvgSource) — no imports, no project files, offline.
+UIImage(assetIcon("lucide:bell")).style({ width: 24, height: 24, tintColor: "#8a8f98" })
+// The id must be a string literal; an unknown id is a compile error (with name suggestions).
+// Recolor via the tintColor style or the { color } option (hex literal bakes in; expression tints).
+// Packs: lucide, tabler, heroicons, feather, bi, carbon, mdi, ri, solar.
+
+// ===== COMMON MISTAKES — DO NOT DO THESE =====
+
+// ❌ CSS that doesn't exist here
+display: "grid"                      // WRONG — Flexbox only (Yoga)
+calc(100% - 20px)                    // WRONG — calc() can't mix with %
+lineHeight: 1.5                      // WRONG — number is px (=1.5px); for a multiplier use "1.5em"
+
+// ❌ touch handler on a non-touch element
+UIColumn(...).onTouchStart(cb)  // WRONG — only UIButton/UIScreen/UIWidget; wrap in UIButton
+
+// ❌ let/const among the children — `let` is a statement, not an expression
+UIRow(let input = UIInput())         // WRONG
+// ✅ declare outside, assign inside (assignment both sets the var AND appends)
+let input: UIInput
+UIRow(input = UIInput())
+
+// ❌ setting a UIImage's content through bgImage
+const img = UIImage("")            // WRONG — empty source as a placeholder
+img.style.bgImage = url            // WRONG — bgImage is a container background, not image content
+// ✅ pass the source to the constructor, or swap it via .src
+const img = UIImage(url)
+img.src = newUrl                   // updates the displayed image
+
+// ❌ expecting an input to fill width like in CSS
+UIRow(UIInput())                         // WRONG — collapses to placeholder width
+// ✅ stretch it explicitly
+UIColumn(UIInput().style({ width: "100%" }))              // cross axis
+UIRow(input = UIInput().style({ flexGrow: 1 }), sendBtn)  // main axis
+
+// ❌ a button that should match the input's height but shrinks to its text
+UIRow(input.style({ height: 40 }), UIButton())    // button ends up shorter
+// ✅ give controls the same explicit height
+UIRow(input.style({ height: 40 }), UIButton().style({ height: 40 }))
+
+// ❌ flexGrow: 1 for equal-width children — it splits only the LEFTOVER space, bases stay content-sized
+UIRow(yes.style({ flexGrow: 1 }), no.style({ flexGrow: 1 }))   // longer label = wider button
+// ✅ flex: 1 — grows from a zero basis, children end up equal
+UIRow(yes.style({ flex: 1 }), no.style({ flex: 1 }))
+
+// ❌ empty containers as spacers to align children (web habit)
+UIRow(UIColumn().style({ flexGrow: 1 }), label)   // WRONG
+// ✅ alignment is a CONTAINER property, not an extra element
+UIRow(label).style({ justifyContent: "flex-end" })
+
+// ❌ empty element as a placeholder for a conditional child
+UIRow(isGroup ? button : UIColumn())              // WRONG
+// ✅ null is skipped in children — no phantom element
+UIRow(isGroup ? button : null)
+
+// ❌ pointing UIImage / bgImage at a project file by bare path — it won't resolve to the bundled asset
+UIImage("./photo.png")                              // WRONG (a plain string works only for remote http(s) URLs)
+// ✅ import the asset, or wrap its path in asset()
+import photo from './photo.png'
+UIImage(photo)                                      // or:  UIImage(asset('./photo.png'))
+
+// ❌ callback-first edge callbacks on UIVirtualizedList
+list.onEndReached(loadNextPage)                     // WRONG — threshold is the first argument, and required
+// ✅ threshold (px from the edge) first
+list.onEndReached(600, loadNextPage)
+
+// ❌ re-creating a UIWidget or UIVirtualizedList to "re-render"
+const openSheet = () => UIWidget(...).show()        // WRONG — leaks a new widget every call
+// ✅ create once at module scope; show()/hide() the widget, setData/append/update the list
