-> **Live preview for Payload CMS in Astro** — and any other server-rendered or static frontend (SvelteKit, Nuxt, Next.js, plain HTML).
+> **Live preview for Payload CMS on server-rendered and static sites** — Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt and plain HTML.
 
-**The missing piece for Astro + Payload.** The official live-preview packages are React and Vue hooks: they re-render a hydrated component tree, so they cannot touch server-produced Astro markup. This package makes the admin's real-time preview work where no client framework owns the page. Add one line to `astro.config.mjs`, mark what should update — one attribute per component on a server-rendered page with a fragment endpoint, per field on a static one — and edits stream into the preview iframe as the editor types. No rebuild, no reload, no React.
+The official live-preview packages are React and Vue hooks: they re-render a hydrated component tree, so they cannot touch markup a server produced. This package makes the admin's real-time preview work where no client framework owns the page. Mark what should update — one attribute per component on a server-rendered page with a fragment endpoint, per field on a static one — and edits reach the preview iframe as the editor types: bound elements are patched in place, fragment boundaries are rendered again by your server. No rebuild, no reload. A client-rendered app gets React and Vue hooks with the same merge underneath. Strict by default, zero runtime dependencies.
 
-The runtime is framework-agnostic: one script drives Astro, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Next.js and plain HTML. Astro is the first-class, end-to-end-tested path.
+One runtime serves every framework, and every framework adapter's example app runs end to end in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit on every push to `main` and on pull requests. Astro has the most coverage: the widest version matrix (4.x to 7.x), the only end-to-end tests against a real Payload admin, the `RichText` and `PreviewBoundary` components, and the build-time annotator.

 ## Highlights
 
-- **One runtime, every frontend.** One TypeScript runtime compiled to a self-contained inline script of about 35 KB gzip — 28 KB with the lean artifact ([docs/options.md](docs/options.md)); the adapters for Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit and Nuxt only decide when to deliver it.
-- **Payload 3.x native.** `serverURL` re-fetches the populated document, like the official client, so relationship and upload fields render as content rather than as IDs — but only when an edit needs one: typing into a text field costs no request, and a burst on a relationship costs two rather than one per keystroke.
-- **Complete Lexical renderer.** 20 node types including `upload`, `relationship`, `block`, `autolink`, tabs, indent and RTL, with automatic rich-text detection: `data-payload-field` alone is enough.
-- **Authorization before anything privileged.** Wherever the runtime is injected at request time, draft reads, runtime injection, CSP changes and binding attributes follow one verified decision per request; Astro's default `inline` and `loader` modes inject at build time into every page, where the runtime does not start outside a preview frame. The client-controlled intent signals never unlock anything.
+- **One runtime, every frontend.** One TypeScript runtime compiled to a self-contained inline script of about 35 KB gzip — 28 KB with the lean artifact ([docs/options.md](docs/options.md)). The adapters for Astro, Next.js, SvelteKit and Nuxt deliver it; where they decide per request they also authorize the request, merge `frame-ancestors` into your CSP and mark the changed response `private, no-store`. They provide the fragment endpoint and, outside Astro, the route that serves the runtime asset.
+- **Patch, fragment, route.** A binding is patched in place; a `data-payload-fragment` boundary is rendered again by your server from the unsaved form state; a binding in `<head>`, or one marked `data-payload-strategy="route"`, can refresh the whole route. A patch the runtime knows fell short, or a change nothing binds, is handed to the fragment render or a route refresh when the page has one ([below](#patch-fragment-route)).
+- **Delivery.** Inline, or a bootstrap that fetches the content-hashed, SRI-verified runtime only inside a preview (`delivery: 'asset'`; Astro's static equivalent is `mode: 'loader'`). Where something decides per request — Astro's middleware, `<LivePreviewScript />` in Next.js, the SvelteKit handle, the Nuxt Nitro plugin — a public visitor receives no script at all ([docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md#what-a-public-visitor-pays)).
+- **Payload 3.x native.** `serverURL` re-fetches the populated document, like the official client, so relationship and upload fields render as content rather than as IDs — but only when an edit needs one: in the DOM runtime, typing into a text field costs no request, and a burst on a relationship costs two rather than one per keystroke.
+- **Lexical renderer.** 20 node types including `upload`, `relationship`, `block`, `autolink`, tabs, indent and RTL, with automatic rich-text detection: `data-payload-field` alone is enough. An unknown node renders only its children; a block with no registered renderer becomes an empty placeholder, and the live write keeps the markup your server rendered in its place when the two trees line up. The prebuilt inline runtime cannot register block renderers.
+- **Hooks for client-rendered apps.** `useLivePreviewDocument()` from `payload-live-preview/react` or `/vue` hands the merged document to your component tree ([docs/react.md](docs/react.md), [docs/vue.md](docs/vue.md)).
+- **Tooling.** `pll doctor <url>` requests a page as a visitor and as the admin's iframe and reports the difference; `pll migrate` rewrites 1.x APIs to their 2.0 names; `pll-codegen` generates types from the Payload config, and `pll-codegen annotate` finds the bindings a template can take unambiguously.
+- **Authorization before anything privileged.** Where an adapter decides per request with `authorizePreview`, draft reads, runtime injection, CSP changes and binding attributes follow one verified decision, and the client-controlled intent signals unlock nothing. The setups that deliver at build time, render the script for every request or inject on intent alone are named under [Security model](#security-model).
 - **Strict by default.** Escape-by-default sanitizer, URL and `srcset` validation, policed attribute writes, prototype-pollution guards, per-instance clients, typed bindings with `pll-codegen`.

+Which to reach for, and what each costs: [docs/bindings.md](docs/bindings.md#how-much-markup-this-actually-needs). `pll-codegen annotate` adds the unambiguous bindings and names each one it refuses, with the reason; without `--write` it only reports, and exits with `3` when it found work.
 
 That is it: the inline script detects the admin's iframe and starts patching. Rich text is detected from the value shape; `data-payload-richtext` only forces it. Payload 3.x posts raw form values, so relationship and upload fields arrive as IDs until `serverURL` with `mergeDepth` re-fetches the populated document ([docs/options.md](docs/options.md)).

 ## Patch, fragment, route
 
-A binding is patched in place by default. A `data-payload-fragment` boundary is rendered by your server from the unsaved form state instead — conditional sections, derived values, custom blocks, the component's own logic — and morphed in with focus and visitor state intact; the runtime posts the fields to the same-origin endpoint named in `fragments: { endpoint }`, built with `createFragmentEndpoint()`, which every adapter entry exports — Astro renders through its container API, Next.js through `react-dom/server`, SvelteKit through `svelte/server`, Nuxt through `vue/server-renderer` — and patches the boundary's own bindings when the server cannot render. With `routeStrategy: true` or `fragments` set, a binding in `<head>`, or one marked `data-payload-strategy="route"`, refreshes the whole route once per revision with scroll and focus kept; without either it is patched like any other. Markup, endpoint, deployment requirements and the abuse model: [docs/hybrid.md](docs/hybrid.md).
