+# Rip App — application framework for Rip
+#
+# Provides the runtime infrastructure for building reactive web applications:
+#
+#   Stash      — deep reactive proxy with path navigation
+#   Resource   — async data loading with reactive states
+#   Timing     — delay, debounce, throttle, hold
+#   Components — in-memory component store with file watchers
+#   Router     — file-based URL routing with layouts and params
+#   Renderer   — compile-import-mount pipeline with error boundaries
+#   Launch     — orchestrator that wires everything together
+#
+# The reactive primitives (__state, __effect, __batch) are provided by the
+# Rip compiler runtime and registered on globalThis when the bundle loads.
