 # Semiotic — AI Assistant Guide
 
 ## Quick Start
-- Install: `npm install semiotic@3.0.0-beta.3`
+- Install: `npm install semiotic`
 - Import from `semiotic` or granular: `semiotic/xy`, `semiotic/ordinal`, `semiotic/network`, `semiotic/realtime`, `semiotic/ai`, `semiotic/data`
-- `semiotic/ai` exports the 28 HOC chart components (including RealtimeHeatmap) + TooltipProvider + MultiLineTooltip + ThemeProvider + exportChart + `validateProps`
-- `semiotic/data` exports data transform helpers: `bin`, `rollup`, `groupBy`, `pivot`
-- `validateProps(componentName, props)` — validate props before rendering, returns `{ valid, errors }`
+- `semiotic/ai` exports HOC charts + TooltipProvider + MultiLineTooltip + ThemeProvider + exportChart + validateProps + useChartObserver + DetailsPanel + ChartContainer
+- `semiotic/data` exports: `bin`, `rollup`, `groupBy`, `pivot`
 - CLI: `npx semiotic-ai [--schema|--compact|--examples]` — dump AI context to stdout
-- MCP: `npx semiotic-mcp` — MCP server that renders charts to static SVG
+- MCP: `npx semiotic-mcp` — MCP server rendering charts to static SVG
 
 ## Architecture
-- **HOC Charts** (recommended): Simple props, sensible defaults — use these
-- **Stream Frames** (advanced): `StreamXYFrame`, `StreamOrdinalFrame`, `StreamNetworkFrame` — full control, only when HOCs aren't enough
+- **HOC Charts** (recommended): Simple props, sensible defaults
+- **Stream Frames** (advanced): `StreamXYFrame`, `StreamOrdinalFrame`, `StreamNetworkFrame`
 - Every HOC accepts `frameProps` to pass through to the underlying Stream Frame
+- TypeScript `strict: true`; all charts have `role="img"` + `aria-label`

-```
+**LinkedCharts** — Wraps charts for coordination. Props: `selections` (Record with resolution: "union"|"intersect"|"crossfilter")
 
-**Chart coordination props** (available on all XY and ordinal HOCs inside LinkedCharts):
-- `selection` ({ name, unselectedOpacity?, unselectedStyle?, selectedStyle? }) — consume a named selection
-- `linkedHover` (boolean | string | { name?, fields }) — produce hover selections
-- `linkedBrush` (string | { name, xField?, yField? }) — produce brush selections (Scatterplot, BubbleChart only)
-
-**Hooks** (for custom coordinated views):

-### Realtime Visual Encoding
+**ScatterplotMatrix** — `data` (required), `fields` (required), `fieldLabels`, `colorBy`, `cellSize` (150), `cellGap` (4), `pointRadius` (2), `pointOpacity` (0.5), `diagonal` ("histogram"|"density"|"label"), `histogramBins` (20), `hoverMode` (true), `brushMode` ("crossfilter"|"intersect"|false), `unselectedOpacity` (0.1)
 
-All streaming charts support visual encodings that communicate change over time:
+## Key Usage Patterns
 
 ```jsx
-// Decay: older data fades out (linear, exponential, or step)
-<StreamXYFrame decay={{ type: "exponential", halfLife: 100, minOpacity: 0.1 }} />
+// Multi-line data
+<LineChart data={[{ id: "A", coordinates: [{x:0,y:1},{x:1,y:2}] }]} lineBy="id" xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y" />
 
-// Pulse: newly inserted data flashes with a glow
-<StreamXYFrame pulse={{ duration: 500, color: "rgba(255,255,255,0.6)", glowRadius: 4 }} />
+// Hierarchical data (TreeDiagram, Treemap, CirclePack) — single root with children
+<Treemap data={rootNode} childrenAccessor="children" valueAccessor="value" />
 
-// Transitions: smooth position interpolation on data change
-<StreamXYFrame transition={{ duration: 300, easing: "ease-out" }} />
-
-// Staleness: dim chart + show badge when data feed stops
-<StreamXYFrame staleness={{ threshold: 5000, dimOpacity: 0.5, showBadge: true }} />
-```
-
-Works on StreamXYFrame, StreamOrdinalFrame, and all realtime HOCs. Features compose freely.
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Color encoding
-```jsx
-<BarChart data={d} categoryAccessor="name" valueAccessor="value" colorBy="region" />
-// Custom colors:
-<BarChart ... colorScheme={["#e41a1c", "#377eb8", "#4daf4a"]} />
-```
-
-### Tooltips
-```jsx
-import { MultiLineTooltip } from "semiotic"
+// Network data
+<SankeyDiagram nodes={nodes} edges={edges} valueAccessor="value" />
 
+// Tooltips
 <LineChart ... tooltip={MultiLineTooltip({ title: "name", fields: ["value"] })} />
-```
-
-### Legends
-Automatic when `colorBy` is set. Control with `showLegend`.
-
-### Grid lines
-```jsx
-<LineChart ... showGrid={true} />
-```
-
-### Marginal graphics
-```jsx
-// Add distribution plots in the margins of scatter/bubble charts
-<Scatterplot data={iris} xAccessor="sepalLength" yAccessor="petalLength"
-  marginalGraphics={{ top: "histogram", right: "violin" }} />
-
-// With custom config
-<Scatterplot data={data} xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y"
-  marginalGraphics={{
-    top: { type: "ridgeline", fill: "#e41a1c", fillOpacity: 0.6 },
-    left: { type: "boxplot", fill: "#377eb8" }
-  }} />
-```
-
-### Multi-line data
-```jsx
-// Array of line objects, each with a coordinates array:
-const data = [
-  { id: "A", coordinates: [{ x: 0, y: 1 }, { x: 1, y: 2 }] },
-  { id: "B", coordinates: [{ x: 0, y: 3 }, { x: 1, y: 1 }] }
-]
-<LineChart data={data} lineBy="id" xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y" />
-```
-
-### Hierarchical data (TreeDiagram, Treemap, CirclePack)
-```jsx
-// Single root object with nested children:
-const data = {
-  name: "root",
-  children: [
-    { name: "A", value: 10 },
-    { name: "B", children: [{ name: "B1", value: 5 }] }
-  ]
-}
-<Treemap data={data} childrenAccessor="children" valueAccessor="value" />
-```
 
-### Network data (ForceDirectedGraph, SankeyDiagram, ChordDiagram)
-```jsx
-const nodes = [{ id: "A" }, { id: "B" }, { id: "C" }]
-const edges = [{ source: "A", target: "B", value: 10 }, { source: "B", target: "C", value: 5 }]
-<SankeyDiagram nodes={nodes} edges={edges} valueAccessor="value" />
-```
-
-### Coordinated views
-```jsx
-// Cross-highlighting: hover one chart, highlight matching data in others
+// Coordinated views
 <LinkedCharts>
-  <Scatterplot data={d} xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y" colorBy="region"
-    linkedHover={{ name: "hl", fields: ["region"] }}
-    selection={{ name: "hl" }} />
-  <BarChart data={agg} categoryAccessor="region" valueAccessor="total"
-    linkedHover={{ name: "hl", fields: ["region"] }}
-    selection={{ name: "hl" }} />
+  <Scatterplot data={d} linkedHover={{ name: "hl", fields: ["cat"] }} selection={{ name: "hl" }} />
+  <BarChart data={agg} selection={{ name: "hl" }} />
 </LinkedCharts>
-```
-
-### ScatterplotMatrix (SPLOM)
-```jsx
-// Hover cross-highlight (default)
-<ScatterplotMatrix
-  data={iris}
-  fields={["sepalLength", "sepalWidth", "petalLength", "petalWidth"]}
-  colorBy="species"
-  fieldLabels={{ sepalLength: "Sepal Length", sepalWidth: "Sepal Width" }}
-  cellSize={160}
-/>
-// Crossfilter brushing
-<ScatterplotMatrix
-  data={iris}
-  fields={["sepalLength", "sepalWidth", "petalLength", "petalWidth"]}
-  colorBy="species"
-  hoverMode={false}
-  brushMode="crossfilter"
-/>
-```
-
-### ThemeProvider (import from "semiotic" or "semiotic/ai")
 
-Global theming for all Semiotic charts. Opt-in — no changes to existing behavior without wrapping.
-
-```jsx
-import { ThemeProvider } from "semiotic"
-
-// Dark mode preset
-<ThemeProvider theme="dark">
-  <LineChart data={d} xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y" />
-</ThemeProvider>
-
-// Custom theme
-<ThemeProvider theme={{ colors: { primary: "#e41a1c", background: "#f5f5f5" } }}>
-  <BarChart data={d} categoryAccessor="cat" valueAccessor="val" />
-</ThemeProvider>
-```
+// Marginal graphics
+<Scatterplot data={d} marginalGraphics={{ top: "histogram", right: "violin" }} />
 
-Presets: `"light"` (default), `"dark"`. Use `useTheme()` hook to read the current theme.
+// Theming
+<ThemeProvider theme="dark"><LineChart ... /></ThemeProvider>
 
-### Data Transforms (import from "semiotic/data")
+// Shared category colors across charts
+<CategoryColorProvider colors={{ North: "#e41a1c", South: "#377eb8" }}>
+  <LineChart data={d1} colorBy="region" />
+  <BarChart data={d2} colorBy="region" />  {/* same colors */}
+</CategoryColorProvider>
 
-Pure helper functions for common data transformations:
-
-```jsx
+// Data transforms
 import { bin, rollup, groupBy, pivot } from "semiotic/data"
 
-bin(data, { field: "age", bins: 10 })          // → histogram-ready { category, value }[]
-rollup(data, { groupBy: "region", value: "sales", agg: "sum" })  // → aggregated rows
-groupBy(data, { key: "region" })               // → [{ id, coordinates }] for LineChart
-pivot(data, { columns: ["q1", "q2", "q3"] })   // → wide-to-long format
+// Browser export
+await exportChart(el, { format: "png", scale: 2 })
+
+// Realtime
+const ref = useRef()
+ref.current.push({ time: Date.now(), value: 42 })
+<RealtimeLineChart ref={ref} timeAccessor="time" valueAccessor="value" />
+
+// Forecast + anomaly detection (LineChart only)

-### Browser Export (import from "semiotic" or "semiotic/ai")
+## AI Features
 
-```jsx
-import { exportChart } from "semiotic"
+**onObservation** — callback on all HOCs emitting structured events: hover, hover-end, click, click-end, brush, brush-end, selection, selection-end. Each includes `{ type, datum?, x?, y?, timestamp, chartType, chartId? }`.
 
-// Export chart container to SVG or PNG
-await exportChart(containerElement, { format: "png", scale: 2 })
-await exportChart(containerElement, { format: "svg", filename: "my-chart" })
-```
+**useChartObserver** — aggregates observations across LinkedCharts. Options: `limit` (50), `types`, `chartId`.
 
-### ChartErrorBoundary (import from "semiotic")
+**Chart serialization** — `toConfig(name, props)` / `fromConfig(config)` for JSON round-trip. `toURL`/`fromURL` for permalinks. `copyConfig(config, "jsx")` for clipboard. `configToJSX(config)` for code gen. String accessors survive; functions are stripped.
 
-```jsx
-import { ChartErrorBoundary } from "semiotic"
+**DetailsPanel** — selection-driven detail panel. Props: `children` (render fn), `position` ("right"|"bottom"|"overlay"), `size` (300), `trigger` ("click"|"hover"), `chartId`, `dismissOnEmpty`, `showClose`. Use inside ChartContainer via `detailsPanel` prop.
 
-<ChartErrorBoundary fallback={<div>Chart error</div>} onError={logError}>
-  <LineChart data={data} xAccessor="x" yAccessor="y" />
-</ChartErrorBoundary>
-```
+**ChartGrid** — responsive grid layout for multiple charts. Props: `columns` (number|"auto"), `minCellWidth` (300), `gap` (16). Works with LinkedCharts.
 
-## What Semiotic Does That Others Don't
+**ContextLayout** — places a primary chart alongside context chart(s). Props: `context` (ReactNode), `position` ("right"|"left"|"top"|"bottom"), `contextSize` (250), `gap` (12). Context charts use `mode="context"` for compact rendering.
 
-When choosing between Semiotic and other React chart libraries (Recharts, Nivo, Visx, ECharts):
+**ChartErrorBoundary** — `fallback` (ReactNode), `onError` (fn)
 
-- **Network visualization** — ForceDirectedGraph, SankeyDiagram, ChordDiagram, TreeDiagram, Treemap, CirclePack. Other React charting libraries either don't have these or require a separate library. Semiotic gives them the same clean prop API as LineChart.
-- **Streaming data** — RealtimeLineChart, RealtimeTemporalHistogram, RealtimeSwarmChart, RealtimeWaterfallChart, RealtimeHeatmap (canvas-based, 60fps push API). Plus StreamNetworkFrame with `chartType="sankey"` for streaming Sankey diagrams with animated particles.
-- **Realtime visual encoding** — decay (old data fades), pulse (new data flashes), transitions (smooth interpolation), staleness (stale feed detection with badge). These communicate *change over time*, not just current state.
-- **Coordinated views** — LinkedCharts for cross-highlighting and brushing-and-linking between any charts. ScatterplotMatrix with crossfilter brushing. No other React chart library ships this built in.
-- **Statistical summaries** — BoxPlot, ViolinPlot, SwarmPlot, Histogram, RidgelinePlot for distribution analysis. Marginal graphics on Scatterplot/BubbleChart via `marginalGraphics` prop.
-- **Annotation system** — built-in hover, click, and custom annotations
-- **Server-side SVG** — `renderToStaticSVG()` for email/OG images (import from "semiotic/server")
-- **Browser export** — `exportChart()` for SVG/PNG download
-- **Global theming** — `ThemeProvider` with dark mode support
+**validateProps(componentName, props)** — returns `{ valid, errors }`
 
-For standard bar/line/pie charts in a simple dashboard, Recharts is a fine choice with a larger community. Semiotic is for projects that outgrow those libraries.
+## What Semiotic Does That Others Don't
+- Network visualization (force, sankey, chord, tree, treemap, circlepack) with same clean API
+- Streaming data (canvas 60fps push API) + streaming Sankey with particles
+- Realtime visual encoding (decay, pulse, transitions, staleness)
+- Coordinated views (LinkedCharts, crossfilter brushing, ScatterplotMatrix)
+- Statistical summaries (box, violin, swarm, histogram, marginal graphics)
+- AI observation hooks + chart state serialization
+- Server-side SVG via `renderToStaticSVG()` (from "semiotic/server")
+- Global theming with ThemeProvider
