+# FormBuilder 2.5.2 — the chrome moved to FormRenderer
+
+**`FormBuilder` is now the fields and nothing else.** Everything drawn *around* the fields —
+titled section cards, the page title header, the stepper and its rail, the page gutters, the
+scroll shell, the summary column — now lives on [`FormRenderer`](../components/form-renderer.md).
+
+## Why
+
+The split was already documented this way; the code just did not honour it. `FormBuilder` owned a
+`rounded-2xl` page shell, a title header that a *child element* switched on, a stepper rail, and a
+`conclusion` panel rendered outside its own `<form>` — while its own doc comment described it as
+"drawer-unaware". The tell was the `layout="bare"` prop: page framing had been baked in, and
+anything embedding a form (a 260px settings rail, a `DataViews` filter panel) needed an escape
+hatch to turn it off.
+
+Now there is nothing to escape. A bare `<FormBuilder>` renders a `<form>` and your fields, and
+fills whatever it is placed in. `FormRenderer` draws the page.
+
+## What to rename
+
+| Before                  | After                    |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------ |
+| `FormBuilder.Section`   | `FormRenderer.Section`   |
+| `FormBuilder.Stepper`   | `FormRenderer.Stepper`   |
+| `FormBuilder.Step`      | `FormRenderer.Step`      |
+| `FormBuilder.Back`      | `FormRenderer.Back`      |
+| `FormBuilder.Next`      | `FormRenderer.Next`      |
+| `FormBuilder.Header`    | `FormRenderer`'s `header` prop (see below) |
+
+**`FormBuilder.Submit` does not move.** It is the form's own submit button and still
+auto-associates with the `<form>` by id, so it works from the header action bar as before.
+
+### Two root props are gone
+
+| Removed                     | Replacement                                                        |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `layout="page" \| "bare"`    | Nothing — bare is the only behaviour. The 1100px cap and 48px gutters are `FormRenderer`'s. Delete the prop. |
+| `conclusion={<FormSummary/>}` | `FormRenderer`'s `summary` prop.                                   |
+
+`className` now lands on the `<form>` element itself rather than an outer page wrapper. On
+`FormRenderer` it still lands on the outermost element, so `className="min-h-0 flex-1"` behaves
+exactly as before.
+
+### `FormBuilder.Header` → the `header` prop
+
+The header was a child that silently reconfigured the root into a scroll-shell layout. It is now
+a prop, so a child can no longer change the page around it:
+
+```tsx
+// Before
+<FormBuilder onSubmit={save} resolver={r} defaultValues={d}>
+  <FormBuilder.Header title="Item" variant="new">
+    <FormBuilder.Submit>Save</FormBuilder.Submit>
+  </FormBuilder.Header>
+  <FormBuilder.Section title="Identity" color="Blue">
+    <FormBuilder.Text name="name" label="Name" required />
+  </FormBuilder.Section>
+</FormBuilder>
+
+// After
+<FormRenderer
+  onSubmit={save}
+  resolver={r}
+  defaultValues={d}
+  header={{ title: "Item", variant: "new" }}
+  actions={<FormBuilder.Submit>Save</FormBuilder.Submit>}
+>
+  <FormRenderer.Section title="Identity" color="Blue">
+    <FormBuilder.Text name="name" label="Name" required />
+  </FormRenderer.Section>
+</FormRenderer>
+```
+
+## Doing the upgrade
+
+There is no compatibility shim: the removed parts are gone, so **TypeScript finds every call site
+for you**. Re-run the CLI, then let the compiler drive:
+
+```bash
+npx torch-glare@latest add FormBuilder FormRenderer --force
+npx tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+Each error is one of the renames in the table above. If a form used raw `FormBuilder` for a real
+page, wrap it in `FormRenderer` — that is where its header, gutters and section cards now come
+from.
+
+### Field layout is unchanged
+
+`FieldSection` — the per-field row (label · control · hint) that every field draws for itself — did
+**not** move, and no field component changed. After the rename, fields land on exactly the same
+pixels; only the `<form>` element's own box changed, because the gutters that used to sit inside it
+now sit outside it.
+
+## Installing
+
+`FormRenderer` still depends on `FormBuilder`, never the reverse — `add FormRenderer` pulls both.
+
+The registry moved to match. `FormBuilder` **dropped** `FormStepper` and `HeaderBar`, so
+`add FormBuilder` on its own now installs a smaller tree: the fields, and no chrome. `FormRenderer`
+**gained** those two plus `SectionBlock` and `Button`.
+
+Note that `FormBuilder` **keeps** its `SectionBlock` dependency even though `FormRenderer.Section`
+moved away — `FormBuilder.Table` renders a `SectionBlock variant="Table"` shell of its own, so a
+standalone `add FormBuilder` still gets a working table field.
