+PyWinUI — a small, Pythonic wrapper over PyWinRT's ``winui3`` (Windows App SDK)
+bindings.
+
+Goal: declare native WinUI 3 UIs the way you'd write Flet/Flutter-style Python,
+while all the verbose WinRT glue stays in ONE place (the `_Native` layer below).
+
+    import pywinui as ui
+
+    class Demo(ui.App):
+        def build(self):
+            count = ui.TextBlock("0", font_size=32)
+
+            def bump(sender, args):
+                count.text = str(int(count.text) + 1)
+
+            return ui.Window(
+                title="PyWinUI Demo",
+                content=ui.StackPanel(
+                    spacing=12, padding=24,
+                    children=[
+                        ui.TextBlock("Counter", font_size=20),
+                        count,
+                        ui.Button("Increment", on_click=bump),
+                    ],
+                ),
+            )
+
+    Demo().run()
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+STATUS: working proof of concept — verified end-to-end on Windows 11 against
+winui3 3.2.1 / Python 3.13. A real window opens, native controls realize, click
+handlers mutate them, and off-thread writes marshal back via the DispatcherQueue.
+
+The import paths are confirmed: `winui3.microsoft.ui.xaml` is correct (the
+PyWinRT docs' `winui3.microsoft.windows.ui.xaml` was indeed a typo).
+
+The async bridge is verified too: `async def` handlers, awaiting WinRT async
+operations, and off-thread writes marshalling back to the UI. No `# VERIFY`
+tags remain — `TextBox` and `Grid` are the only controls not yet instantiated,
+and they follow the same pattern as the verified ones.

+# WinUI has ONE UI thread; touching a control from another thread throws, and

+#   * run_on_ui(fn)   -> marshal a call back onto the UI thread (any thread ok)
+#   * as_future(op)   -> await a WinRT async op like a normal coroutine
+#   * async handlers  -> auto-scheduled on a background loop
+#   * off-thread widget writes -> auto-marshalled (see Widget._set_native)
+#
+# ARCHITECTURE (v1 — simple + robust): Application.start owns the UI thread with
+# the WinUI message pump, so we can't also run asyncio there. Instead asyncio
+# runs on a separate daemon thread; async handlers run there, and anything that
+# mutates UI hops back via the DispatcherQueue. The nicer alternative — one
+# event loop *driven by* the DispatcherQueue so handlers run on the UI thread —
+# is noted as future work; it removes the marshalling but is far more code.

+# PyWinUI
+
+Build **native WinUI 3** (Windows App SDK) desktop applications in idiomatic Python.
+
+Not a themed look-alike and not a reimplementation — these are real WinUI 3
+controls, wrapped so that you never have to touch WinRT unless you want to.
+
+```python
+import pywinui as ui
+
+
+class CounterApp(ui.App):
+    def build(self):
+        count = ui.TextBlock("0", font_size=32)
+
+        def bump(sender, args):
+            count.text = str(int(count.text) + 1)
+
+        return ui.Window(
+            title="PyWinUI Counter",
+            content=ui.StackPanel(
+                spacing=12, padding=24,
+                children=[
+                    ui.TextBlock("Counter", font_size=20),
+                    count,
+                    ui.Button("Increment", on_click=bump),
+                ],
+            ),
+        )
+
+
+CounterApp().run()
+```
+
+> **Status: early alpha.** The architecture is verified end-to-end against the
+> real bindings on Windows 11, but only five controls are wrapped so far. The API
+> may change. See [Current scope](#current-scope) before depending on it.
+
+## Why now
+
+The WinUI 3 projections for Python ([PyWinRT](https://github.com/pywinrt/pywinrt))
+only landed in March 2025. Before that, a Python WinUI 3 app meant hand-rolling
+raw WinRT. The bindings now exist and work; PyWinUI is the ergonomics layer on
+top of them.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Windows 10/11** with the [Windows App Runtime](https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/runtime)
+- **python.org Python 3.10+** — *not* the Microsoft Store build, which is a
+  packaged app and fails the runtime bootstrap with `ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED`
+
+## Install
+
+```
+pip install pywinui
+```
+
+The `winui3-*` dependencies are Windows-only and install automatically there.
+On other platforms the package still installs and imports (the native layer is
+loaded lazily), so the test suite and editor tooling work anywhere — but
+anything that realizes a control needs Windows.
+
+## Two ways to build a tree
+
+Both are first-class and they compose.
+
+```python
+# Flutter style — the tree is a value. Best for reusable components.
+ui.StackPanel(children=[ui.TextBlock("a"), ui.TextBlock("b")])
+
+# With style — handles loops, conditionals and local references far better.
+with ui.StackPanel() as panel:
+    ui.TextBlock("Items")
+    for name in items:
+        ui.Button(name, on_click=make_handler(name))
+```
+
+## Async without the ceremony
+
+Handlers may be `async def`. They're scheduled off the UI thread automatically,
+WinRT async operations are awaited like any coroutine, and writes back to
+widgets are marshalled onto the UI thread for you.
+
+```python
+async def read_file(sender, args):
+    status.text = "Reading..."
+    file = await StorageFile.get_file_from_path_async(path)
+    text = await FileIO.read_text_async(file)      # real WinRT I/O
+    status.text = f"{len(text)} chars"             # marshalled back to the UI
+```
+
+Failures arrive as ordinary Python exceptions — a missing path raises
+`FileNotFoundError`.
+
+## The escape hatch
+
+The curated surface covers the common path with type hints, validation and value
+conversions. Anything not wrapped still forwards by name, and `widget.native`
+gives you the raw WinUI control:
+
+```python
+btn = ui.Button("Save")
+btn.native.background = some_brush    # raw WinUI, fully supported
+```
+
+## Current scope
+
+| Working | Not yet |
+|---|---|
+| `TextBlock`, `TextBox`, `Button`, `StackPanel`, `Grid`, `Window` | The other ~100 WinUI controls |
+| Both tree-building styles, attach/detach | Data binding, styles, resource dictionaries |
+| `async def` handlers, awaiting WinRT ops | Control templates, virtualized lists |
+| Off-thread writes auto-marshalled | Off-thread *reads* (wrap in `run_on_ui`) |
+| `padding`/`margin`, `visible`, content boxing | `Grid.Row`/`Grid.Column` attached properties |
+| Running from a Python environment | Packaging a double-clickable app (MSIX) |
+
+**Packaging is unproven.** Shipping an app to end users means bundling Python and
+the Windows App Runtime, likely as MSIX, and that path has not been prototyped.
+Today this is a library for developers who already have Python installed.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**`DLL load failed ... The filename or extension is too long`** — your virtual
+environment path is too deep. The winui3 extension modules have very long file
+names (`_winui3_microsoft_windows_applicationmodel_dynamicdependency_bootstrap`),
+and a nested venv can push them past Windows' 260-character `MAX_PATH`. Use a
+shorter path, or [enable long paths](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation).
+
+**`ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED` during bootstrap** — you're on the Microsoft Store build
+of Python, which is itself a packaged app. Use the python.org installer.
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+pip install -e ".[examples,dev]"
+python examples/counter.py
+python examples/async_file_read.py
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+```
+pytest
+```
+
+The suite runs **anywhere** — no Windows required. It swaps in a fake native
+layer to lock down the tree model, both building styles, attach/detach, property
+forwarding, value conversions and thread marshalling. What it deliberately
+cannot cover is the binding boundary itself; that is verified by running the
+examples on Windows.
