 Inside its own template, a component can't use `InstanceType<typeof Toggle>`: the type of `Toggle` depends on the template itself, so TypeScript reports a circular reference (TS7022).

+A quoted value is the result of a function the parent runs, so what reaches the child is what that function returns. Annotate its return type with the child's prop: that checks the value, and it types the parameters of a callback returned by a thunk, which would otherwise be an implicit `any` (TS7006):
+
+```ts
+// where the child was created with Component.create<HeaderProps>`...`
+handleAddTodo="${({ model }: AppComponent): HeaderProps['handleAddTodo'] => (title) => model!.addTodo(title)}"
+```
+
+`satisfies` on the returned callback does the same, `({ model }: AppComponent) => ((title) => model!.addTodo(title)) satisfies HeaderProps['handleAddTodo']`; the return type keeps the whole contract in the signature.
+
 ### Known limitations
 
 - **Template interpolation callbacks are `any`**. Functions in ``Component.create`...` `` templates can't be inferred from the surrounding string — type them by where they sit in the template (see [Typing template interpolations](#typing-template-interpolations)).
