Subject: [PATCH 01/55] feat(html): Metadata alias on Context + Responsive.Add
 with media-query hint
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Brings the portable pieces of mini's feat/main-session-work onto dev:

- context.go: Context.Metadata field — alias for Data, references the same
  underlying map. Both fields interchangeable at read/write sites.
- responsive.go: responsiveVariant gains an optional media field for CSS
  media-query hints (e.g. "(min-width: 1024px)"); new Responsive.Add(name,
  layout, media...) method. Existing Variant(name, layout) becomes a thin
  alias over Add.
- go.mod: drop stale dappco.re/go/core/{inference,log} indirect requires
  (refreshed by go mod tidy — forge.lthn.ai/core/{go-inference,go-log}).

Mini's local deps/go-i18n/reversal grammar-vector rewrite does not apply to
dev: dev consumes reversal as an external package (dappco.re/go/core/i18n/reversal)
rather than an internal fork. That portion of the branch is left on
feat/main-session-work for future re-integration.

Verified: GOWORK=off go build ./... + go test ./... passes.

Subject: [PATCH 02/55] chore(html): swap errors.Is for core.Is in codegen CLI,
 document WASM size guard-rails
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- cmd/codegen/main.go: drop "errors" stdlib import, use core.Is per Core convention
  (non-WASM path).
- layout.go, path.go, responsive.go: add header notes documenting why these files
  use stdlib (errors/strings/strconv) instead of core — RFC §7 caps WASM at
  3.5 MB raw / 1 MB gzip, and dappco.re/go/core transitively pulls fmt/os/log.
- README.md, docs/index.md: migrate stale forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html module path
  to canonical dappco.re/go/core/html; refresh dependency diagram and Go version.

All spec features are already implemented; this is spec-parity maintenance.

Verified: go build ./..., go vet ./..., go test ./... all green (WASM size test
back to 2.12 MB raw / 630 KB gzip after short-lived core-import regression).

 ### Deterministic Block IDs
 
-Each rendered slot receives a `data-block` attribute encoding its position in the layout tree. At the root level, IDs follow the pattern `{slot}-0`:
+Each rendered slot receives a `data-block` attribute encoding its position in the layout tree. At the root level, IDs use the slot letter itself:
 
 ```html
-<header role="banner" data-block="H-0">...</header>
-<main role="main" data-block="C-0">...</main>
-<footer role="contentinfo" data-block="F-0">...</footer>
+<header role="banner" data-block="H">...</header>
+<main role="main" data-block="C">...</main>
+<footer role="contentinfo" data-block="F">...</footer>
 ```
 
 Block IDs are constructed by simple string concatenation (no `fmt.Sprintf`) to keep the `fmt` package out of the WASM import graph.
 
 ### Nested Layouts
 
-`Layout` implements `Node`, so a layout can be placed inside any slot of another layout. At render time, nested layouts are cloned and their internal `path` field is set to the parent's block ID as a prefix. This produces hierarchical paths:

-echo '{"H":"nav-bar","C":"main-content"}' | go run ./cmd/codegen/ # Codegen CLI
-```
-
-## Architecture
-
-See `docs/architecture.md` for full detail. Summary:
-
-- **Node interface**: `Render(ctx *Context) string` — El, Text, Raw, If, Unless, Each[T], EachSeq[T], Switch, Entitled
-- **HLCRF Layout**: Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer compositor with ARIA roles and deterministic `data-block` IDs. Variant string (e.g. "HCF", "HLCRF", "C") controls which slots render. Layouts nest via clone-on-render (thread-safe).
-- **Responsive**: Multi-variant breakpoint wrapper (`data-variant` attributes), renders all variants in insertion order
-- **Pipeline**: Render → StripTags → go-i18n/reversal Tokenise → GrammarImprint (server-side only)
-- **Codegen**: Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM, generated at build time by `cmd/codegen/`
-- **WASM**: `cmd/wasm/` exports `renderToString()` only — size gate: < 3.5 MB raw, < 1 MB gzip
-
-## Server/Client Split
-
-Files guarded with `//go:build !js` are excluded from WASM:
-
-- `pipeline.go` — Imprint/CompareVariants use `go-i18n/reversal` (server-side only)
-- `cmd/wasm/register.go` — encoding/json + codegen (replaced by `cmd/codegen/` CLI)
-
-**Critical WASM constraint**: Never import `encoding/json`, `text/template`, or `fmt` in WASM-linked code (files without a `!js` build tag). Use string concatenation instead of `fmt.Sprintf` in `layout.go`, `node.go`, `responsive.go`, `render.go`, `path.go`, and `context.go`. The `fmt` package alone adds ~500 KB to the WASM binary.
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- `dappco.re/go/core/i18n` (replace directive → local go-i18n)
-- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-inference` (indirect, via go-i18n; not yet migrated)
-- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-log` (indirect, via go-i18n; not yet migrated)
-- Both `go-i18n` and `go-inference` must be cloned alongside this repo for builds
-- Go 1.26+ required (uses `range` over integers, `iter.Seq`, `maps.Keys`, `slices.Collect`)
-
-## Coding Standards
-
-- UK English (colour, organisation, centre, behaviour, licence, serialise)
-- All types annotated; use `any` not `interface{}`
-- Tests use `testify` assert/require
-- Licence: EUPL-1.2 — add `// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: EUPL-1.2` to new files
-- Safe-by-default: HTML escaping via `html.EscapeString()` on Text nodes and attribute values, void element handling, entitlement deny-by-default
-- Deterministic output: sorted attributes on El nodes, reproducible block ID paths
-- Errors: use `log.E("scope", "message", err)` from `go-log`, never `fmt.Errorf`
-- File I/O: use `coreio.Local` from `go-io`, never `os.ReadFile`/`os.WriteFile`
-- Commits: conventional commits + `Co-Authored-By: Virgil <virgil@lethean.io>`
-
-## Test Conventions
-
-Use table-driven subtests with `t.Run()`. Integration tests that use `Text` nodes must initialise i18n before rendering:
-
-```go
-svc, _ := i18n.New()
-i18n.SetDefault(svc)
-```

Provides a type-safe node tree (El, Text, Raw, If, Each, Switch, Entitled, AriaLabel, AltText, TabIndex, AutoFocus, Role), a five-slot Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer layout compositor with deterministic `data-block` path IDs and ARIA roles, a responsive multi-variant wrapper, a server-side grammar pipeline (StripTags, GrammarImprint via go-i18n reversal, CompareVariants), a build-time Web Component codegen CLI with optional TypeScript declarations, and a WASM module (2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip) exposing `renderToString()`.
-
-**Module**: `dappco.re/go/core/html`
-**Licence**: EUPL-1.2
-**Language**: Go 1.26
-
-## Quick Start
-

-    H(html.El("nav", html.Text("i18n.label.navigation"))).
-    C(html.El("main",
-        html.El("h1", html.Text("i18n.label.welcome")),
-        html.Each(items, func(item Item) html.Node {
-            return html.El("li", html.Text(item.Name))
-        }),
-    )).
-    F(html.El("footer", html.Text("i18n.label.copyright")))
-
-rendered := page.Render(html.NewContext("en-GB"))

-# Session Brief: core/go-html
-
-**Repo**: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html` (clone at `/tmp/core-go-html`)
-**Module**: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html`
-**Status**: Current tests pass; WASM build is within budget and codegen emits JS plus TypeScript defs
-**Wiki**: https://forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html/wiki (6 pages)
-
-## What This Is
-
-HLCRF DOM compositor with grammar pipeline. Renders semantic HTML from composable node trees with:
-- **Node interface**: El, Text, Raw, If, Unless, Each[T], Switch, Entitled
-- **HLCRF Layout**: Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer with ARIA roles
-- **Responsive**: Multi-variant breakpoint rendering
-- **Pipeline**: Render → strip tags → tokenise via go-i18n/reversal → GrammarImprint
-- **WASM target**: `cmd/wasm/` exposes `renderToString()` to JS
-- **Codegen**: Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM plus `.d.ts` generation
-
-## Current State
-
-| Area | Status |
-|------|--------|
-| Core (node, layout, responsive, pipeline) | SOLID — all tested, clean API |
-| Tests | Passing |
-| go vet | Clean |
-| TODOs/FIXMEs | None |
-| WASM build | PASS — within the 1 MB gzip gate |
-| Codegen | Working — generates WC classes and `.d.ts` definitions |
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-i18n` (replace directive → `../go-i18n`)
-- `github.com/stretchr/testify` v1.11.1
-- `golang.org/x/text` v0.33.0
-
-## Priority Work
-
-No active blockers recorded here. See `docs/history.md` for the remaining design choices and deferred ideas that were captured during earlier implementation phases.

-title: Architecture
-description: Internals of the go-html HLCRF DOM compositor, covering the node interface, layout system, responsive wrapper, grammar pipeline, WASM module, and codegen CLI.
----
-
-# Architecture
-
-`go-html` is structured around a single interface, a layout compositor, and a server-side analysis pipeline. Everything renders to `string` -- there is no virtual DOM, no diffing, and no retained state between renders.
-
-## Node Interface
-
-Every renderable unit implements one method:
-
-```go
-type Node interface {
-    Render(ctx *Context) string
-}
-```
-
-All concrete node types are unexported structs with exported constructor functions. The public API surface consists of nine node constructors, four accessibility helpers, plus the `Attr()` and `Render()` helpers:
-
-| Constructor | Behaviour |
-|-------------|-----------|
-| `El(tag, ...Node)` | HTML element with children. Void elements (`br`, `img`, `input`, etc.) never emit a closing tag. |
-| `Attr(Node, key, value)` | Sets an attribute on an `El` node. Traverses through `If`, `Unless`, `Entitled`, `Each`, `EachSeq`, `Switch`, `Layout`, and `Responsive` wrappers. Returns the node for chaining. |
-| `AriaLabel(Node, label)` | Convenience helper that sets `aria-label` on an element node. |
-| `AltText(Node, text)` | Convenience helper that sets `alt` on an element node. |
-| `TabIndex(Node, index)` | Convenience helper that sets `tabindex` on an element node. |
-| `AutoFocus(Node)` | Convenience helper that sets `autofocus` on an element node. |
-| `Role(Node, role)` | Convenience helper that sets `role` on an element node. |
-| `Text(key, ...any)` | Translated text via the active context translator. Server builds fall back to global `go-i18n`; JS builds fall back to the key. Output is always HTML-escaped. |
-| `Raw(content)` | Unescaped trusted content. Explicit escape hatch. |
-| `If(cond, Node)` | Renders the child only when the condition function returns true. |
-| `Unless(cond, Node)` | Renders the child only when the condition function returns false. |
-| `Each[T](items, fn)` | Iterates a slice and renders each item via a mapping function. Generic over `T`. |
-| `EachSeq[T](items, fn)` | Same as `Each` but accepts an `iter.Seq[T]` instead of a slice. |
-| `Switch(selector, cases)` | Renders one of several named cases based on a runtime selector function. Returns empty string when no case matches. |
-| `Entitled(feature, Node)` | Renders the child only when the context's entitlement function grants the named feature. Deny-by-default: returns empty string when no entitlement function is set. |
-
-### Safety Guarantees
-
-- **XSS prevention**: `Text()` nodes always HTML-escape their output via `html.EscapeString()`. User-supplied strings passed through `Text()` cannot inject HTML.
-- **Attribute escaping**: Attribute values are escaped with `html.EscapeString()`, handling `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'`.
-- **Deterministic output**: Attribute keys on `El` nodes are sorted alphabetically before rendering, producing identical output regardless of insertion order.
-- **Void elements**: A lookup table of 13 void elements (`area`, `base`, `br`, `col`, `embed`, `hr`, `img`, `input`, `link`, `meta`, `source`, `track`, `wbr`) ensures these never emit a closing tag.
-- **Deny-by-default entitlements**: `Entitled` returns an empty string when the context is nil, when no entitlement function is set, or when the function returns false. Content is absent from the DOM, not merely hidden.
-
-## Rendering Context
-
-The `Context` struct carries per-request state through the node tree during rendering:
-
-```go
-type Context struct {
-    Identity     string                     // e.g. user ID or session identifier
-    Locale       string                     // BCP 47 locale string
-    Entitlements func(feature string) bool  // feature gate callback
-    Data         map[string]any             // arbitrary per-request data
-    Metadata     map[string]any             // alias of Data for alternate naming
-    service      Translator                 // unexported; set via constructor
-}
-```
-
-Two constructors are provided:
-
-- `NewContext()` creates a context with sensible defaults and an empty `Data` map.
-- `NewContextWithService(svc)` creates a context backed by any translator implementing `T(key, ...any) string` such as `*i18n.Service`.
-
-`Data` and `Metadata` point at the same backing map when the context is created through `NewContext()`. Use whichever name is clearer in the calling code. `SetLocale()` and `SetService()` keep the active translator in sync when either value changes.
-
-The `service` field is intentionally unexported. When nil, server builds fall back to the global `i18n.T()` default while JS builds render the key unchanged. This prevents callers from setting the service inconsistently after construction while keeping the WASM import graph lean.
-
-## HLCRF Layout
-
-The `Layout` type is a compositor for five named slots:
-
-| Slot Letter | Semantic Element | ARIA Role | Accessor |
-|-------------|-----------------|-----------|----------|
-| H | `<header>` | `banner` | `layout.H(...)` |
-| L | `<nav>` | `navigation` | `layout.L(...)` |
-| C | `<main>` | `main` | `layout.C(...)` |
-| R | `<aside>` | `complementary` | `layout.R(...)` |
-| F | `<footer>` | `contentinfo` | `layout.F(...)` |
-
-### Variant String
-
-The variant string passed to `NewLayout()` determines which slots render and in which order:
-
-```go
-NewLayout("HLCRF")  // all five slots
-NewLayout("HCF")    // header, content, footer (no sidebars)
-NewLayout("C")      // content only
-NewLayout("LC")     // left sidebar and content
-```
-
-Slot letters not present in the variant string are ignored, even if nodes have been appended to those slots. Unrecognised characters (lowercase, digits, special characters) are silently skipped -- no error is returned.
-
-### Deterministic Block IDs
-
-Each rendered slot receives a `data-block` attribute encoding its position in the layout tree. At the root level, IDs use the slot letter itself:
-
-```html
-<header role="banner" data-block="H">...</header>
-<main role="main" data-block="C">...</main>
-<footer role="contentinfo" data-block="F">...</footer>
-```
-
-Block IDs are constructed by simple string concatenation (no `fmt.Sprintf`) to keep the `fmt` package out of the WASM import graph.
-
-### Nested Layouts
-
-`Layout` implements `Node`, so a layout can be placed inside any slot of another layout. At render time, nested layouts retain the parent's block ID as a prefix. This produces hierarchical paths:
-
-```go
-inner := html.NewLayout("HCF").
-    H(html.Raw("nav")).
-    C(html.Raw("body")).
-    F(html.Raw("links"))
-
-outer := html.NewLayout("HLCRF").
-    H(html.Raw("top")).
-    L(inner).              // inner layout nested in the Left slot
-    C(html.Raw("main")).
-    F(html.Raw("foot"))
-```
-
-The inner layout's slots render with prefixed block IDs: `L.0`, `L.0.1`, `L.0.2`. At 10 levels of nesting, the deepest block ID becomes `C.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0` (tested in `edge_test.go`).
-
-The clone-on-render approach means the original layout is never mutated. This is safe for concurrent use.
-
-### Fluent Builder
-
-All slot methods return `*Layout` for chaining. Multiple nodes can be appended to the same slot across multiple calls:
-
-```go
-html.NewLayout("HCF").
-    H(html.El("h1", html.Text("page.title"))).
-    C(html.El("p", html.Text("intro"))).
-    C(html.El("p", html.Text("body"))).       // appends to the same C slot
-    F(html.El("small", html.Text("footer")))
-```
-
-### Block ID Parsing
-
-`ParseBlockID()` in `path.go` extracts the slot letter sequence from a `data-block` attribute value:
-
-```go
-ParseBlockID("L.0.C.0")       // returns ['L', 'C']
-ParseBlockID("L-0-C-0")       // legacy hyphenated form, also returns ['L', 'C']
-ParseBlockID("C.0.C.0.C.0")    // returns ['C', 'C', 'C']
-ParseBlockID("H")              // returns ['H']
-ParseBlockID("")               // returns nil
-```
-
-This enables server-side or client-side code to locate a specific block in the rendered tree by its structural path.
-
-## Responsive Compositor
-
-`Responsive` wraps multiple named `Layout` variants for breakpoint-aware rendering:
-
-```go
-html.NewResponsive().
-    Variant("desktop", html.NewLayout("HLCRF").
-        H(html.Raw("header")).L(html.Raw("nav")).C(html.Raw("main")).
-        R(html.Raw("aside")).F(html.Raw("footer"))).
-    Variant("tablet", html.NewLayout("HCF").
-        H(html.Raw("header")).C(html.Raw("main")).F(html.Raw("footer"))).
-    Variant("mobile", html.NewLayout("C").
-        C(html.Raw("main")))
-```
-
-Each variant renders inside a `<div data-variant="name">` container. Variants render in insertion order. When supplied, `Responsive.Add(name, layout, media)` also emits `data-media="..."` on the wrapper so downstream CSS can reflect the breakpoint hint. CSS media queries or JavaScript can target these containers for show/hide logic.
-
-`VariantSelector(name)` returns a CSS attribute selector for a specific responsive variant, making stylesheet targeting less error-prone than hand-writing the attribute selector repeatedly.
-
-`Responsive` implements `Node`, so it can be passed to `Render()` or `Imprint()`. The `Variant()` method accepts `*Layout` specifically, not arbitrary `Node` values.
-
-Each variant maintains independent block ID namespaces -- nesting a layout inside a responsive variant does not conflict with the same layout structure in another variant.
-
-## Grammar Pipeline (Server-Side Only)
-
-The grammar pipeline is excluded from WASM builds via `//go:build !js` on `pipeline.go`. It bridges the rendering layer to the semantic analysis layer.
-
-### StripTags
-
-```go
-func StripTags(html string) string
-```
-
-Converts rendered HTML to plain text. Tag boundaries are collapsed into single spaces; the result is trimmed. The implementation is a single-pass rune scanner with no regular expressions and no allocations beyond the output `strings.Builder`. It does not handle `<script>` or `<style>` content because `go-html` never generates those elements.
-
-### Imprint
-
-```go
-func Imprint(node Node, ctx *Context) reversal.GrammarImprint
-```
-
-Runs the full render-to-analysis pipeline:
-
-1. Renders the node tree to HTML via `node.Render(ctx)`.
-2. Strips HTML tags via `StripTags()` to extract plain text.
-3. Tokenises the text via `go-i18n/reversal.NewTokeniser().Tokenise()`.
-4. Wraps tokens in a `reversal.GrammarImprint` for structural analysis.
-
-The resulting `GrammarImprint` exposes `TokenCount`, `UniqueVerbs`, and a `Similar()` method for pairwise semantic similarity scoring.
-
-A nil context is handled gracefully: `Imprint` creates a default context internally.
-
-### CompareVariants
-
-```go
-func CompareVariants(r *Responsive, ctx *Context) map[string]float64
-```
-
-Runs `Imprint` independently on each named layout variant in a `Responsive` and returns pairwise similarity scores. Keys are formatted as `"name1:name2"`.
-
-This enables detection of semantically divergent responsive variants -- for example, a mobile layout that strips critical information present in the desktop variant. Same-content variants with different layout structures (e.g. `HLCRF` vs `HCF`) score above 0.8 similarity.
-
-A single-variant `Responsive` produces an empty score map (no pairs to compare).
-
-## WASM Module
-
-The WASM entry point at `cmd/wasm/main.go` is compiled with `GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm` and exposes a single JavaScript function:
-
-```js
-gohtml.renderToString(variant, locale, slots)
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-
-- `variant` (string): HLCRF variant string, e.g. `"HCF"`.
-- `locale` (string): BCP 47 locale string for i18n, e.g. `"en-GB"`.
-- `slots` (object): Optional keys `H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F` containing HTML strings.
-
-Slot content is injected via `Raw()`. The caller is responsible for sanitisation -- the WASM module is a rendering engine for trusted content produced server-side or by the application's own templates.
-
-### Size Budget
-
-The WASM binary has a size gate enforced by `cmd/wasm/size_test.go`:
-
-| Metric | Limit | Current |
-|--------|-------|---------|
-| Raw binary | 3.5 MB | ~2.90 MB |
-| Gzip compressed | 1 MB | ~842 KB |
-
-The test builds the WASM binary as a subprocess and is skipped under `go test -short`. The Makefile `wasm` target performs the same build with size checking.
-
-### Server/Client Split
-
-The binary split is enforced by Go build tags:
-
-| File | Build Tag | Reason for WASM Exclusion |
-|------|-----------|--------------------------|
-| `pipeline.go` | `!js` | Imports `go-i18n/reversal` |
-| `cmd/wasm/register.go` | `!js` | Imports `encoding/json` and `text/template` |
-
-The WASM binary includes only: node types, layout, responsive, context, render, path, and `go-i18n` core translation. No codegen, no pipeline, no JSON, no templates, no `fmt`.
-
-## Codegen CLI
-
-`cmd/codegen/main.go` generates Web Component JavaScript bundles from HLCRF slot assignments at build time:
-
-```bash
-echo '{"H":"nav-bar","C":"main-content","F":"page-footer"}' | go run ./cmd/codegen/ > components.js
-```
-
-The `codegen` package (`codegen/codegen.go`) generates ES2022 class definitions with closed Shadow DOM. For each custom element tag, it produces:
-
-1. A class extending `HTMLElement` with a private `#shadow` field.
-2. `constructor()` attaching a closed shadow root (`mode: "closed"`).
-3. `connectedCallback()` dispatching a `wc-ready` custom event with the tag name and slot.
-4. `render(html)` method that sets shadow content from a `<template>` clone.
-5. A `customElements.define()` registration call.
-
-Tag names must contain a hyphen (Web Components specification requirement). `TagToClassName()` converts kebab-case to PascalCase: `nav-bar` becomes `NavBar`, `my-super-widget` becomes `MySuperWidget`.
-
-`GenerateBundle()` deduplicates tags -- if the same tag is assigned to multiple slots, only one class definition is emitted.
-
-The codegen CLI uses `encoding/json` and `text/template`, which are excluded from the WASM build. Consumers generate the JS bundle at build time and serve it as a static asset.

-# Development Guide
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- **Go 1.26** or later. The module uses Go 1.26 features (e.g. `range` over integers, `iter.Seq`).
-- **go-i18n** cloned alongside this repository at `../go-i18n` relative to the repo root. The `go.mod` `replace` directive points there.
-- **go-inference** also resolved via `replace` directive at `../go-inference`. It is an indirect dependency pulled in by `go-i18n`.
-- **Go workspace** (`go.work`): this module is part of a shared workspace. Run `go work sync` after cloning.
-
-No additional tools are required for server-side development. WASM builds require the standard Go cross-compilation support (`GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm`), included in all official Go distributions.

-
-## Running Tests
-
-```bash
-# All tests
-go test ./...
-
-# Single test by name
-go test -run TestElNode_Render .
-
-# Skip the slow WASM build test
-go test -short ./...
-
-# Verbose output
-go test -v ./...
-
-# Tests for a specific package
-go test ./codegen/
-go test ./cmd/codegen/
-go test ./cmd/wasm/
-```
-
-The WASM size gate test (`TestWASMBinarySize_WithinBudget`) builds the WASM binary as a subprocess. It is slow and is skipped under `-short`. It is also guarded with `//go:build !js` so it cannot run within the WASM environment itself.
-
-### Test Dependencies
-
-Tests use the `testify` library (`assert` and `require` packages). Integration tests and benchmarks that exercise `Text` nodes must initialise the `go-i18n` default service before rendering:
-
-```go
-svc, _ := i18n.New()
-i18n.SetDefault(svc)
-```
-
-The `bench_test.go` file does this in an `init()` function. Individual integration tests do so explicitly.
-
-## Benchmarks
-
-```bash
-# All benchmarks
-go test -bench . ./...
-
-# Specific benchmark
-go test -bench BenchmarkRender_FullPage .
-
-# With memory allocation statistics
-go test -bench . -benchmem ./...
-
-# Extended benchmark duration
-go test -bench . -benchtime=5s ./...
-```
-
-Available benchmark groups:
-
-| Group | Variants |
-|-------|----------|
-| `BenchmarkRender_*` | Depth 1, 3, 5, 7 element trees; full page with layout |
-| `BenchmarkLayout_*` | Content-only, HCF, HLCRF, nested, 50-child slot |
-| `BenchmarkEach_*` | 10, 100, 1000 items |
-| `BenchmarkResponsive_*` | Three-variant compositor |
-| `BenchmarkStripTags_*` | Short and long HTML inputs |
-| `BenchmarkImprint_*` | Small and large page trees |
-| `BenchmarkCompareVariants_*` | Two and three variant comparison |
-| `BenchmarkGenerateClass` | Single Web Component class generation |
-| `BenchmarkGenerateBundle_*` | Small (2-slot) and full (5-slot) bundles |
-| `BenchmarkTagToClassName` | Kebab-to-PascalCase conversion |
-| `BenchmarkGenerateRegistration` | `customElements.define()` call generation |
-
-## WASM Build
-
-```bash
-GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o gohtml.wasm ./cmd/wasm/
-```
-
-Strip flags (`-s -w`) are required. Without them, the binary is approximately 50% larger.
-
-The Makefile `wasm` target performs the build and checks the output size:
-
-```bash
-make wasm
-```
-
-The Makefile enforces a 1 MB gzip transfer limit and a 3 MB raw size limit. Current measured output: approximately 2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip.
-
-To verify the gzip size manually:
-
-```bash
-gzip -c -9 gohtml.wasm | wc -c
-```
-
-## Codegen CLI
-
-The codegen CLI reads a JSON slot map from stdin and writes a Web Component JS bundle to stdout:
-
-```bash
-echo '{"H":"site-header","C":"app-content","F":"site-footer"}' \
-    | go run ./cmd/codegen/ \
-    > components.js
-```
-
-JSON keys are HLCRF slot letters (`H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F`). Values are custom element tag names (must contain a hyphen per the Web Components specification). Duplicate tag values are deduplicated.
-
-Pass `-types` to emit ambient TypeScript declarations instead of JavaScript:
-
-```bash
-echo '{"H":"site-header","C":"app-content"}' \
-    | go run ./cmd/codegen/ -types \
-    > components.d.ts
-```
-
-For local development, `-watch` polls an input JSON file and rewrites the
-output file whenever the slot map changes:
-
-```bash
-go run ./cmd/codegen/ \
-    -watch \
-    -input slots.json \
-    -output components.js
-```
-
-To test the CLI:
-
-```bash
-go test ./cmd/codegen/
-```
-
-## Static Analysis
-
-```bash
-go vet ./...
-```
-
-The repository also includes a `.golangci.yml` configuration for `golangci-lint`.
-
-## Coding Standards
-
-### Language
-
-UK English throughout: colour, organisation, centre, behaviour, licence (noun), serialise. American spellings are not used.
-
-### Type Annotations
-
-All exported and unexported functions carry full parameter and return type annotations. The `any` alias is used in preference to `interface{}`.
-
-### HTML Safety
-
-- Use `Text()` for any user-supplied or translated content. It escapes HTML automatically.
-- Use `Raw()` only for content you control or have sanitised upstream. Its name explicitly signals "no escaping".
-- Never construct HTML by string concatenation in application code.
-
-### Error Handling
-
-Errors are wrapped with context using `fmt.Errorf()`. The codegen package prefixes all errors with `codegen:`.
-
-### Determinism
-
-Output must be deterministic. `El` node attributes are sorted alphabetically before rendering. `map` iteration order in `codegen.GenerateBundle()` may vary across runs -- this is acceptable because Web Component registration order does not affect correctness.
-
-### Build Tags
-
-Files excluded from WASM use `//go:build !js` as the first line, before the `package` declaration. Files compiled only under WASM use `//go:build js && wasm`. The older `// +build` syntax is not used.
-
-The `fmt` package must never be imported in files without a `!js` build tag, as it significantly inflates the WASM binary. Use string concatenation instead of `fmt.Sprintf` in layout and node code.
-
-### Licence
-
-All new files should carry the EUPL-1.2 SPDX identifier:
-
-```go
-// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: EUPL-1.2
-```
-
-### Commit Format
-
-Conventional commits with lowercase type and optional scope:
-
-```
-feat(codegen): add TypeScript type definition generation
-fix(wasm): correct slot injection for empty strings
-test: add edge case for Unicode surrogate pairs
-docs: update architecture with pipeline diagram

-
-## Test Patterns
-
-### Standard Unit Test
-
-```go
-func TestElNode_Render(t *testing.T) {
-    ctx := NewContext()
-    node := El("div", Raw("content"))
-    got := node.Render(ctx)
-    want := "<div>content</div>"
-    if got != want {
-        t.Errorf("El(\"div\", Raw(\"content\")).Render() = %q, want %q", got, want)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Table-Driven Subtest
-
-```go
-func TestStripTags_Unicode(t *testing.T) {
-    tests := []struct {
-        name  string
-        input string
-        want  string
-    }{
-        {"emoji in tags", "<span>\U0001F680</span>", "\U0001F680"},
-        {"RTL in tags", "<div>\u0645\u0631\u062D\u0628\u0627</div>", "\u0645\u0631\u062D\u0628\u0627"},
-        {"CJK in tags", "<p>\u4F60\u597D\u4E16\u754C</p>", "\u4F60\u597D\u4E16\u754C"},
-    }
-    for _, tt := range tests {
-        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
-            got := StripTags(tt.input)
-            if got != tt.want {
-                t.Errorf("StripTags(%q) = %q, want %q", tt.input, got, tt.want)
-            }
-        })
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Integration Test with i18n
-
-```go
-func TestIntegration_RenderThenReverse(t *testing.T) {
-    svc, _ := i18n.New()
-    i18n.SetDefault(svc)
-    ctx := NewContext()
-
-    page := NewLayout("HCF").
-        H(El("h1", Text("Building project"))).
-        C(El("p", Text("Files deleted successfully"))).
-        F(El("small", Text("Completed")))
-
-    imp := Imprint(page, ctx)
-
-    if imp.UniqueVerbs == 0 {
-        t.Error("reversal found no verbs in rendered page")
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Codegen Tests with Testify
-
-```go
-func TestGenerateClass_ValidTag(t *testing.T) {
-    js, err := GenerateClass("photo-grid", "C")
-    require.NoError(t, err)
-    assert.Contains(t, js, "class PhotoGrid extends HTMLElement")
-    assert.Contains(t, js, "attachShadow")
-    assert.Contains(t, js, `mode: "closed"`)
-}
-```
-
-## Known Limitations
-
-- `NewLayout("XYZ")` silently produces empty output for unrecognised slot letters. Valid letters are `H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F`. There is no error or warning.
-- `Responsive.Variant()` accepts only `*Layout`, not arbitrary `Node` values. Arbitrary subtrees must be wrapped in a single-slot layout first.
-- `Context.service` is unexported. Custom translation injection uses `NewContextWithService()`, and `Context.SetService()` can swap the translator later while preserving locale-aware services.
-- The WASM module has no integration test for the JavaScript exports. `size_test.go` tests binary size only; it does not exercise `renderToString` behaviour from JavaScript.
-- `codegen.GenerateBundle()` now renders output classes in sorted slot-key order so generated bundles are stable between runs.

-# Project History
-
-## Phase 1: Core Node Types (initial scaffolding)
-
-Commits: `d7bb0b2` through `c724094`
-
-The module was scaffolded with the Go module path `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html`. The foundational work established:
-
-- `d7bb0b2` — Module scaffold, `Node` interface with `Render(ctx *Context) string`.
-- `3e76e72` — `Text` node wired to `go-i18n` grammar pipeline with HTML escaping.
-- `c724094` — Conditional nodes (`If`, `Unless`), entitlement gating (`Entitled`, deny-by-default), runtime dispatch (`Switch`), and type-safe iteration (`Each[T]`).
-
-The `Raw` escape hatch was present from the first commit. The decision to make `Text` always escape and `Raw` never escape was made at this stage and has not changed.
-
-## Phase 2: HLCRF Layout and Pipeline
-
-Commits: `946ea8d` through `ef77793`
-
-- `946ea8d` — `Layout` type with HLCRF slot registry. Semantic HTML elements (`<header>`, `<main>`, `<aside>`, `<footer>`) and ARIA roles assigned per slot.
-- `d75988a` — Nested layout path chains. Block IDs computed as `{slot}-0` at root, extended with `{parent}-{slot}-0` for nested layouts.
-- `40da0d8` — Deterministic attribute sorting and thread-safe nested layout cloning (clone-on-render pattern).
-- `f49ddbf` — `Attr()` helper for setting element attributes with chaining.
-- `e041f76` — `Responsive` multi-variant compositor with `data-variant` containers.
-- `8ac5123` — `StripTags` single-pass rune scanner for HTML-to-text stripping.
-- `76cef5a` — `Imprint()` full render-reverse-imprint pipeline using `go-i18n/reversal`.
-- `ef77793` — `CompareVariants()` pairwise semantic similarity scoring across responsive variants.
-
-## Phase 3: WASM Entry Point
-
-Commits: `456adce` through `9bc1fa7`
-
-- `456adce` — Makefile with `wasm` target. Size gate: `WASM_GZ_LIMIT = 1048576` (1 MB). Initial measurement revealed the binary was already too large at this stage.
-- `5acf63c` — WASM entry point `cmd/wasm/main.go` with `renderToString` exported to `window.gohtml`.
-- `2fab89e` — Integration tests refactored to use `Imprint` pipeline.
-- `e34c5c9` — WASM browser test harness added.
-- `18d2933` — WASM binary size reporting improvements.
-- `9bc1fa7` — Variant name escaping in `Responsive`, single-pass `StripTags` optimisation, WASM security contract documented in source.
-
-## Phase 4: Codegen and Web Components
-
-Commits: `937c08d` through `ab7ab92`
-
-- `37b50ab`, `496513e` — Phase 4 design documents and implementation plan.
-- `937c08d` — `codegen` package with `GenerateClass`, `GenerateBundle`, `TagToClassName`. Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM.
-- `dcd55a4` — `registerComponents` export added to `cmd/wasm/main.go`, bridging JSON slot config to WC bundle JS. This was the source of the subsequent binary size problem.
-- `ab7ab92` — Transitive `replace` directive added for `go-inference`.
-
-## WASM Binary Size Reduction
-
-Commits: `6abda8b`, `4c65737`, `aae5d21`
-
-The initial WASM binary measured 6.04 MB raw / 1.58 MB gzip — 58% over the 1 MB gzip limit set in the Makefile. The root causes were three heavyweight stdlib imports pulled in by `registerComponents()` in the WASM binary:
-
-| Import | Approx. gzip contribution |
-|--------|--------------------------|
-| `encoding/json` | ~200 KB |
-| `text/template` | ~125 KB |
-| `fmt` (via `layout.go`) | ~50 KB |
-| `go-i18n/reversal` (via `pipeline.go`) | ~250 KB |
-
-**Total bloat**: ~625 KB gzip over the core rendering requirement.
-
-The fix was applied in three distinct steps:
-
-### Step 1: Remove registerComponents from WASM (`4c65737`)
-
-`cmd/wasm/register.go` received a `//go:build !js` build tag, completely excluding it from the WASM compilation unit. The `registerComponents` entry on the `gohtml` JS object was removed from `cmd/wasm/main.go`. The codegen function was moved to a standalone build-time CLI at `cmd/codegen/main.go`. This eliminated `encoding/json` and `text/template` from the WASM import graph.
-
-### Step 2: Remove pipeline from WASM
-
-`pipeline.go` received a `//go:build !js` build tag. The `Imprint()` and `CompareVariants()` functions depend on `go-i18n/reversal`, which is a heavyweight analysis library. These functions are server-side analysis tools and have no use in a client-side rendering module. The `renderToString` function in the WASM entry point never called them, so removal was non-breaking.
-
-### Step 3: Eliminate fmt from WASM
-
-`layout.go`'s `blockID()` method had used `fmt.Sprintf` for string construction. Replacing this with direct string concatenation (`l.path + string(slot) + "-0"`) removed `fmt` from the WASM import graph entirely.
-
-**Result**: 2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip. 47% reduction in gzip size. Well within the 1 MB limit.
-
-### Size gate test (`aae5d21`)
-
-`cmd/wasm/size_test.go` was added to prevent regression. `TestWASMBinarySize_WithinBudget` builds the WASM binary in a temp directory, gzip-compresses it, and asserts:
-
-- Gzip size < 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB).
-- Raw size < 3,145,728 bytes (3 MB).
-
-The test is skipped under `go test -short` and is guarded with `//go:build !js`.
-
-## Test Coverage Milestones
-
-- `7efd2ab` — Benchmarks added across all subsystems. Unicode edge case tests. Stress tests.
-- `ab7ab92` — 53 passing tests across the package and sub-packages.
-- `aae5d21` — 70+ tests passing (server-side); WASM size gate and codegen CLI tests added.
-
-## Known Limitations (as of current HEAD)
-
-These are not regressions; they are design choices or deferred work recorded for future consideration.
-
-1. **Invalid layout variants are silently ignored.** `NewLayout("XYZ")` produces empty output, and the compatibility helpers `ValidateLayoutVariant()` / `VariantError()` now return `nil`.
-
-2. **No WASM integration test.** `cmd/wasm/size_test.go` tests binary size only. The `renderToString` behaviour is tested by building and running the WASM binary in a browser, not by an automated test. A `syscall/js`-compatible test harness would be needed.
-
-3. **Responsive accepts only Layout.** `Responsive.Variant()` takes `*Layout` rather than `Node`. The rationale is that `CompareVariants` in the pipeline needs access to the slot structure. Accepting `Node` would require a different approach to variant analysis.
-
-4. **Context.service is private.** The i18n service is still unexported, but callers can now swap it explicitly with `Context.SetService()`. This keeps the field encapsulated while allowing controlled mutation.
-
-5. **TypeScript definitions are generated.** `codegen.GenerateTypeScriptDefinitions()` and the `cmd/codegen -types` flag emit `.d.ts` companions for generated Web Components.
-
-6. **CSS scoping helper added.** `VariantSelector(name)` returns a reusable `data-variant` attribute selector for stylesheet targeting. The `Responsive` rendering model remains unchanged.
-
-7. **Browser polyfill matrix not documented.** Closed Shadow DOM is well-supported but older browsers require polyfills. The support matrix is not documented.
-
-## Future Considerations
-
-These items were captured during the WASM size reduction work and expert review sessions. They are not committed work items.
-
-- **TypeScript type definitions** alongside `GenerateBundle()` for typed Web Component consumers.
-- **Accessibility helpers** — `aria-label` builder, `alt` text helpers, and focus management helpers (`TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`). The layout has semantic HTML and ARIA roles but no API for fine-grained accessibility attributes beyond `Attr()`.
-- **Responsive CSS helpers** — `VariantSelector(name)` makes `data-variant` targeting explicit and reusable in stylesheets.
-- **Layout variant validation** — return a warning or sentinel error from `NewLayout` when the variant string contains unrecognised slot characters.
-- **Daemon mode for codegen** — watch mode for regenerating the JS bundle when slot config changes, for development workflows.

-title: go-html
-description: HLCRF DOM compositor with grammar pipeline integration for type-safe server-side HTML generation and optional WASM client rendering.
----
-
-# go-html
-
-`go-html` is a pure-Go library for building HTML documents as type-safe node trees and rendering them to string output. It provides a five-slot layout compositor (Header, Left, Content, Right, Footer -- abbreviated HLCRF), a responsive multi-variant wrapper, a server-side grammar analysis pipeline, a Web Component code generator, and an optional WASM module for client-side rendering.
-
-**Module path:** `dappco.re/go/core/html`
-**Go version:** 1.26
-**Licence:** EUPL-1.2
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```go
-package main
-
-import html "dappco.re/go/core/html"
-
-func main() {
-    page := html.NewLayout("HCF").
-        H(html.El("nav", html.Text("nav.label"))).
-        C(html.El("article",
-            html.El("h1", html.Text("page.title")),
-            html.Each(items, func(item Item) html.Node {
-                return html.El("li", html.Text(item.Name))
-            }),
-        )).
-        F(html.El("footer", html.Text("footer.copyright")))
-
-    output := page.Render(html.NewContext())
-}
-```
-
-This builds a Header-Content-Footer layout with semantic HTML elements (`<header>`, `<main>`, `<footer>`), ARIA roles, and deterministic `data-block` path identifiers. Text nodes pass through the `go-i18n` translation layer and are HTML-escaped by default. The rendering context exposes both `Data` and `Metadata` as the same backing map, and locale/service setters keep translation wiring explicit.
-
-## Package Layout
-
-| Path | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `node.go` | `Node` interface and all node types: `El`, `Text`, `Raw`, `If`, `Unless`, `Each`, `EachSeq`, `Switch`, `Entitled`, plus `AriaLabel`, `AltText`, `TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`, and `Role` helpers |
-| `layout.go` | HLCRF compositor with semantic HTML elements and ARIA roles |
-| `responsive.go` | Multi-variant breakpoint wrapper (`data-variant` containers) and CSS selector helper |
-| `context.go` | Rendering context: identity, locale, entitlements, data/metadata alias, i18n service |
-| `render.go` | `Render()` convenience function |
-| `path.go` | `ParseBlockID()` for decoding `data-block` path attributes |
-| `pipeline.go` | `StripTags`, `Imprint`, `CompareVariants` (server-side only, `!js` build tag) |
-| `codegen/codegen.go` | Web Component class generation (closed Shadow DOM) |
-| `cmd/codegen/main.go` | Build-time CLI: JSON slot map on stdin, JS bundle on stdout |
-| `cmd/wasm/main.go` | WASM entry point exporting `renderToString()` to JavaScript |
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-**Node tree** -- All renderable units implement `Node`, a single-method interface: `Render(ctx *Context) string`. The library composes nodes into trees using `El()` for elements, `Text()` for translated text, control-flow constructors (`If`, `Unless`, `Each`, `Switch`, `Entitled`), and accessibility helpers (`AriaLabel`, `AltText`, `TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`, `Role`).
-
-**HLCRF Layout** -- A five-slot compositor that maps to semantic HTML: `<header>` (H), `<nav>` (L), `<main>` (C), `<aside>` (R), `<footer>` (F). The variant string controls which slots render: `"HLCRF"` for all five, `"HCF"` for three, `"C"` for content only. Layouts nest: placing a `Layout` inside another layout's slot produces hierarchical `data-block` paths like `L.0`, `L.0.1`, and `L.0.2`.
-
-**Responsive variants** -- `Responsive` wraps multiple `Layout` instances with named breakpoints (e.g. `"desktop"`, `"mobile"`). Each variant renders inside a `<div data-variant="name">` container for CSS or JavaScript targeting, and `Responsive.Add(name, layout, media)` can also annotate the container with `data-media`. `VariantSelector(name)` returns a ready-made attribute selector for styling these containers from CSS.
-
-**Grammar pipeline** -- Server-side only. `Imprint()` renders a node tree to HTML, strips tags, tokenises the plain text via `go-i18n/reversal`, and returns a `GrammarImprint` for semantic analysis. `CompareVariants()` computes pairwise similarity scores across responsive variants.
-
-**Web Component codegen** -- `cmd/codegen/` generates ES2022 Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM from a JSON slot-to-tag mapping. This is a build-time tool, not used at runtime.

-WASM-linked files (layout.go, node.go, path.go, responsive.go, render.go, context.go, text_builder_js.go, text_translate_js.go) deliberately avoid `dappco.re/go/core` to respect the RFC §7 WASM size budget — core transitively pulls in fmt/os/log.

-## Types
-
-### `Context`
-`type Context struct`
-
-Context carries rendering state through the node tree.
-Usage example: ctx := NewContext()
-
-Fields:
-- `Identity string`
-- `Locale string`
-- `Entitlements func(feature string) bool`
-- `Data map[string]any`
-- Unexported fields are present.
-
-Methods:
-None.
-
-### `Layout`
-`type Layout struct`
-
-Layout is an HLCRF compositor. Arranges nodes into semantic HTML regions
-with deterministic path-based IDs.
-Usage example: page := NewLayout("HCF").H(Text("title")).C(Text("body"))
-
-Fields:
-- No exported fields.
-- Unexported fields are present.
-
-Methods:
-- `func (l *Layout) C(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
-  C appends nodes to the Content (main) slot.
-  Usage example: NewLayout("C").C(Text("body"))
-- `func (l *Layout) F(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
-  F appends nodes to the Footer slot.
-  Usage example: NewLayout("CF").F(Text("footer"))
-- `func (l *Layout) H(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
-  H appends nodes to the Header slot.
-  Usage example: NewLayout("HCF").H(Text("title"))
-- `func (l *Layout) L(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
-  L appends nodes to the Left aside slot.
-  Usage example: NewLayout("LC").L(Text("nav"))
-- `func (l *Layout) R(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
-  R appends nodes to the Right aside slot.
-  Usage example: NewLayout("CR").R(Text("ads"))
-- `func (l *Layout) Render(ctx *Context) string`
-  Render produces the semantic HTML for this layout.
-  Usage example: html := NewLayout("C").C(Text("body")).Render(NewContext())
-  Only slots present in the variant string are rendered.
-
-### `Node`
-`type Node interface`
-
-Node is anything renderable.
-Usage example: var n Node = El("div", Text("welcome"))
-
-Members:
-- `Render(ctx *Context) string`
-
-Methods:
-None.
-
-### `Responsive`
-`type Responsive struct`
-
-Responsive wraps multiple Layout variants for breakpoint-aware rendering.
-Usage example: r := NewResponsive().Variant("mobile", NewLayout("C"))
-Each variant is rendered inside a container with data-variant for CSS targeting.
-
-Fields:
-- No exported fields.
-- Unexported fields are present.
-
-Methods:
-- `func (r *Responsive) Render(ctx *Context) string`
-  Render produces HTML with each variant in a data-variant container.
-  Usage example: html := NewResponsive().Variant("mobile", NewLayout("C")).Render(NewContext())
-- `func (r *Responsive) Variant(name string, layout *Layout) *Responsive`
-  Variant adds a named layout variant (e.g., "desktop", "tablet", "mobile").
-  Usage example: NewResponsive().Variant("desktop", NewLayout("HLCRF"))
-  Variants render in insertion order.
-
-### `Translator`
-`type Translator interface`
-
-Translator provides Text() lookups for a rendering context.
-Usage example: ctx := NewContextWithService(myTranslator)
-
-The default server build uses go-i18n. Alternate builds, including WASM,
-can provide any implementation with the same T() method.
-
-Members:
-- `T(key string, args ...any) string`
-
-Methods:
-None.
-
-## Functions

-### `Attr`
-`func Attr(n Node, key, value string) Node`
-
-Attr sets an attribute on an El node. Returns the node for chaining.
-Usage example: Attr(El("a", Text("docs")), "href", "/docs")
-It recursively traverses through wrappers like If, Unless, and Entitled.
-
-### `CompareVariants`
-`func CompareVariants(r *Responsive, ctx *Context) map[string]float64`
-
-CompareVariants runs the imprint pipeline on each responsive variant independently
-and returns pairwise similarity scores. Key format: "name1:name2".
-Usage example: scores := CompareVariants(NewResponsive(), NewContext())
-
-### `Each`
-`func Each[T any](items []T, fn func(T) Node) Node`
-
-Each iterates items and renders each via fn.
-Usage example: Each([]string{"a", "b"}, func(v string) Node { return Text(v) })
-
-### `EachSeq`
-`func EachSeq[T any](items iter.Seq[T], fn func(T) Node) Node`
-
-EachSeq iterates an iter.Seq and renders each via fn.
-Usage example: EachSeq(slices.Values([]string{"a", "b"}), func(v string) Node { return Text(v) })
-
-### `El`
-`func El(tag string, children ...Node) Node`
-
-El creates an HTML element node with children.
-Usage example: El("section", Text("welcome"))
-
-### `Entitled`
-`func Entitled(feature string, node Node) Node`
-
-Entitled renders child only when entitlement is granted. Absent, not hidden.
-Usage example: Entitled("beta", Text("preview"))
-If no entitlement function is set on the context, access is denied by default.
-
-### `If`
-`func If(cond func(*Context) bool, node Node) Node`
-
-If renders child only when condition is true.
-Usage example: If(func(ctx *Context) bool { return ctx.Identity != "" }, Text("hi"))
-
-### `Imprint`
-`func Imprint(node Node, ctx *Context) reversal.GrammarImprint`
-
-Imprint renders a node tree to HTML, strips tags, tokenises the text,
-and returns a GrammarImprint — the full render-reverse pipeline.
-Usage example: imp := Imprint(Text("welcome"), NewContext())
-
-### `NewContext`
-`func NewContext() *Context`
-
-NewContext creates a new rendering context with sensible defaults.
-Usage example: html := Render(Text("welcome"), NewContext())
-
-### `NewContextWithService`
-`func NewContextWithService(svc Translator) *Context`
-
-NewContextWithService creates a rendering context backed by a specific translator.
-Usage example: ctx := NewContextWithService(myTranslator)
-
-### `NewLayout`
-`func NewLayout(variant string) *Layout`
-
-NewLayout creates a new Layout with the given variant string.
-Usage example: page := NewLayout("HLCRF")
-The variant determines which slots are rendered (e.g., "HLCRF", "HCF", "C").
-
-### `NewResponsive`
-`func NewResponsive() *Responsive`
-
-NewResponsive creates a new multi-variant responsive compositor.
-Usage example: r := NewResponsive()
-
-### `ParseBlockID`
-`func ParseBlockID(id string) []byte`
-
-ParseBlockID extracts the slot sequence from a data-block ID.
-Usage example: slots := ParseBlockID("L-0-C-0")
-"L-0-C-0" → ['L', 'C']
-
-### `Raw`
-`func Raw(content string) Node`
-
-Raw creates a node that renders without escaping (escape hatch for trusted content).
-Usage example: Raw("<strong>trusted</strong>")
-
-### `Render`
-`func Render(node Node, ctx *Context) string`
-
-Render is a convenience function that renders a node tree to HTML.
-Usage example: html := Render(El("main", Text("welcome")), NewContext())
-
-### `StripTags`
-`func StripTags(html string) string`
-
-StripTags removes HTML tags from rendered output, returning plain text.
-Usage example: text := StripTags("<main>Hello <strong>world</strong></main>")
-Tag boundaries are collapsed into single spaces; result is trimmed.
-Does not handle script/style element content (go-html does not generate these).
-
-### `Switch`
-`func Switch(selector func(*Context) string, cases map[string]Node) Node`
-
-Switch renders based on runtime selector value.
-Usage example: Switch(func(ctx *Context) string { return ctx.Locale }, map[string]Node{"en": Text("hello")})
-
-### `Text`
-`func Text(key string, args ...any) Node`
-
-Text creates a node that renders through the go-i18n grammar pipeline.
-Usage example: Text("welcome", "Ada")
-Output is HTML-escaped by default. Safe-by-default path.
-
-### `Unless`
-`func Unless(cond func(*Context) bool, node Node) Node`
-
-Unless renders child only when condition is false.
-Usage example: Unless(func(ctx *Context) bool { return ctx.Identity == "" }, Text("welcome"))

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+Agent instructions for `go-html`. Module path: `dappco.re/go/core/html`
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+go test ./...                                                      # Run all tests

+echo '{"H":"nav-bar","C":"main-content"}' | go run ./cmd/codegen/ # Codegen CLI
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+See `docs/architecture.md` for full detail. Summary:
+
+- **Node interface**: `Render(ctx *Context) string` — El, Text, Raw, If, Unless, Each[T], EachSeq[T], Switch, Entitled
+- **HLCRF Layout**: Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer compositor with ARIA roles and deterministic `data-block` IDs. Variant string (e.g. "HCF", "HLCRF", "C") controls which slots render. Layouts nest via clone-on-render (thread-safe).
+- **Responsive**: Multi-variant breakpoint wrapper (`data-variant` attributes), renders all variants in insertion order
+- **Pipeline**: Render → StripTags → go-i18n/reversal Tokenise → GrammarImprint (server-side only)
+- **Codegen**: Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM, generated at build time by `cmd/codegen/`
+- **WASM**: `cmd/wasm/` exports `renderToString()` only — size gate: < 3.5 MB raw, < 1 MB gzip
+
+## Server/Client Split
+
+Files guarded with `//go:build !js` are excluded from WASM:
+
+- `pipeline.go` — Imprint/CompareVariants use `go-i18n/reversal` (server-side only)
+- `cmd/wasm/register.go` — encoding/json + codegen (replaced by `cmd/codegen/` CLI)
+
+**Critical WASM constraint**: Never import `encoding/json`, `text/template`, or `fmt` in WASM-linked code (files without a `!js` build tag). Use string concatenation instead of `fmt.Sprintf` in `layout.go`, `node.go`, `responsive.go`, `render.go`, `path.go`, and `context.go`. The `fmt` package alone adds ~500 KB to the WASM binary.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `dappco.re/go/core/i18n` (replace directive → local go-i18n)
+- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-inference` (indirect, via go-i18n; not yet migrated)
+- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-log` (indirect, via go-i18n; not yet migrated)
+- Both `go-i18n` and `go-inference` must be cloned alongside this repo for builds
+- Go 1.26+ required (uses `range` over integers, `iter.Seq`, `maps.Keys`, `slices.Collect`)
+
+## Coding Standards
+
+- UK English (colour, organisation, centre, behaviour, licence, serialise)
+- All types annotated; use `any` not `interface{}`
+- Tests use `testify` assert/require
+- Licence: EUPL-1.2 — add `// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: EUPL-1.2` to new files
+- Safe-by-default: HTML escaping via `html.EscapeString()` on Text nodes and attribute values, void element handling, entitlement deny-by-default
+- Deterministic output: sorted attributes on El nodes, reproducible block ID paths
+- Errors: use `log.E("scope", "message", err)` from `go-log`, never `fmt.Errorf`
+- File I/O: use `coreio.Local` from `go-io`, never `os.ReadFile`/`os.WriteFile`
+- Commits: conventional commits + `Co-Authored-By: Virgil <virgil@lethean.io>`
+
+## Test Conventions
+
+Use table-driven subtests with `t.Run()`. Integration tests that use `Text` nodes must initialise i18n before rendering:
+
+```go
+svc, _ := i18n.New()
+i18n.SetDefault(svc)
+```

+
+HLCRF DOM compositor with grammar pipeline integration for server-side HTML generation and optional WASM client rendering. Provides a type-safe node tree (El, Text, Raw, If, Each, Switch, Entitled, AriaLabel, AltText, TabIndex, AutoFocus, Role), a five-slot Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer layout compositor with deterministic `data-block` path IDs and ARIA roles, a responsive multi-variant wrapper, a server-side grammar pipeline (StripTags, GrammarImprint via go-i18n reversal, CompareVariants), a build-time Web Component codegen CLI with optional TypeScript declarations, and a WASM module (2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip) exposing `renderToString()`.
+
+**Module**: `dappco.re/go/core/html`
+**Licence**: EUPL-1.2
+**Language**: Go 1.26
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+import html "dappco.re/go/core/html"
+
+page := html.NewLayout("HCF").
+    H(html.El("nav", html.Text("i18n.label.navigation"))).
+    C(html.El("main",
+        html.El("h1", html.Text("i18n.label.welcome")),
+        html.Each(items, func(item Item) html.Node {
+            return html.El("li", html.Text(item.Name))
+        }),
+    )).
+    F(html.El("footer", html.Text("i18n.label.copyright")))
+
+rendered := page.Render(html.NewContext("en-GB"))

+# Session Brief: core/go-html
+
+**Repo**: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html` (clone at `/tmp/core-go-html`)
+**Module**: `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html`
+**Status**: Current tests pass; WASM build is within budget and codegen emits JS plus TypeScript defs
+**Wiki**: https://forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html/wiki (6 pages)
+
+## What This Is
+
+HLCRF DOM compositor with grammar pipeline. Renders semantic HTML from composable node trees with:
+- **Node interface**: El, Text, Raw, If, Unless, Each[T], Switch, Entitled
+- **HLCRF Layout**: Header/Left/Content/Right/Footer with ARIA roles
+- **Responsive**: Multi-variant breakpoint rendering
+- **Pipeline**: Render → strip tags → tokenise via go-i18n/reversal → GrammarImprint
+- **WASM target**: `cmd/wasm/` exposes `renderToString()` to JS
+- **Codegen**: Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM plus `.d.ts` generation
+
+## Current State
+
+| Area | Status |
+|------|--------|
+| Core (node, layout, responsive, pipeline) | SOLID — all tested, clean API |
+| Tests | Passing |
+| go vet | Clean |
+| TODOs/FIXMEs | None |
+| WASM build | PASS — within the 1 MB gzip gate |
+| Codegen | Working — generates WC classes and `.d.ts` definitions |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-i18n` (replace directive → `../go-i18n`)
+- `github.com/stretchr/testify` v1.11.1
+- `golang.org/x/text` v0.33.0
+
+## Priority Work
+
+No active blockers recorded here. See `docs/history.md` for the remaining design choices and deferred ideas that were captured during earlier implementation phases.

+title: Architecture
+description: Internals of the go-html HLCRF DOM compositor, covering the node interface, layout system, responsive wrapper, grammar pipeline, WASM module, and codegen CLI.
+---
+
+# Architecture
+
+`go-html` is structured around a single interface, a layout compositor, and a server-side analysis pipeline. Everything renders to `string` -- there is no virtual DOM, no diffing, and no retained state between renders.
+
+## Node Interface
+
+Every renderable unit implements one method:
+
+```go
+type Node interface {
+    Render(ctx *Context) string
+}
+```
+
+All concrete node types are unexported structs with exported constructor functions. The public API surface consists of nine node constructors, four accessibility helpers, plus the `Attr()` and `Render()` helpers:
+
+| Constructor | Behaviour |
+|-------------|-----------|
+| `El(tag, ...Node)` | HTML element with children. Void elements (`br`, `img`, `input`, etc.) never emit a closing tag. |
+| `Attr(Node, key, value)` | Sets an attribute on an `El` node. Traverses through `If`, `Unless`, `Entitled`, `Each`, `EachSeq`, `Switch`, `Layout`, and `Responsive` wrappers. Returns the node for chaining. |
+| `AriaLabel(Node, label)` | Convenience helper that sets `aria-label` on an element node. |
+| `AltText(Node, text)` | Convenience helper that sets `alt` on an element node. |
+| `TabIndex(Node, index)` | Convenience helper that sets `tabindex` on an element node. |
+| `AutoFocus(Node)` | Convenience helper that sets `autofocus` on an element node. |
+| `Role(Node, role)` | Convenience helper that sets `role` on an element node. |
+| `Text(key, ...any)` | Translated text via the active context translator. Server builds fall back to global `go-i18n`; JS builds fall back to the key. Output is always HTML-escaped. |
+| `Raw(content)` | Unescaped trusted content. Explicit escape hatch. |
+| `If(cond, Node)` | Renders the child only when the condition function returns true. |
+| `Unless(cond, Node)` | Renders the child only when the condition function returns false. |
+| `Each[T](items, fn)` | Iterates a slice and renders each item via a mapping function. Generic over `T`. |
+| `EachSeq[T](items, fn)` | Same as `Each` but accepts an `iter.Seq[T]` instead of a slice. |
+| `Switch(selector, cases)` | Renders one of several named cases based on a runtime selector function. Returns empty string when no case matches. |
+| `Entitled(feature, Node)` | Renders the child only when the context's entitlement function grants the named feature. Deny-by-default: returns empty string when no entitlement function is set. |
+
+### Safety Guarantees
+
+- **XSS prevention**: `Text()` nodes always HTML-escape their output via `html.EscapeString()`. User-supplied strings passed through `Text()` cannot inject HTML.
+- **Attribute escaping**: Attribute values are escaped with `html.EscapeString()`, handling `&`, `<`, `>`, `"`, and `'`.
+- **Deterministic output**: Attribute keys on `El` nodes are sorted alphabetically before rendering, producing identical output regardless of insertion order.
+- **Void elements**: A lookup table of 13 void elements (`area`, `base`, `br`, `col`, `embed`, `hr`, `img`, `input`, `link`, `meta`, `source`, `track`, `wbr`) ensures these never emit a closing tag.
+- **Deny-by-default entitlements**: `Entitled` returns an empty string when the context is nil, when no entitlement function is set, or when the function returns false. Content is absent from the DOM, not merely hidden.
+
+## Rendering Context
+
+The `Context` struct carries per-request state through the node tree during rendering:
+
+```go
+type Context struct {
+    Identity     string                     // e.g. user ID or session identifier
+    Locale       string                     // BCP 47 locale string
+    Entitlements func(feature string) bool  // feature gate callback
+    Data         map[string]any             // arbitrary per-request data
+    Metadata     map[string]any             // alias of Data for alternate naming
+    service      Translator                 // unexported; set via constructor
+}
+```
+
+Two constructors are provided:
+
+- `NewContext()` creates a context with sensible defaults and an empty `Data` map.
+- `NewContextWithService(svc)` creates a context backed by any translator implementing `T(key, ...any) string` such as `*i18n.Service`.
+
+`Data` and `Metadata` point at the same backing map when the context is created through `NewContext()`. Use whichever name is clearer in the calling code. `SetLocale()` and `SetService()` keep the active translator in sync when either value changes.
+
+The `service` field is intentionally unexported. When nil, server builds fall back to the global `i18n.T()` default while JS builds render the key unchanged. This prevents callers from setting the service inconsistently after construction while keeping the WASM import graph lean.
+
+## HLCRF Layout
+
+The `Layout` type is a compositor for five named slots:
+
+| Slot Letter | Semantic Element | ARIA Role | Accessor |
+|-------------|-----------------|-----------|----------|
+| H | `<header>` | `banner` | `layout.H(...)` |
+| L | `<nav>` | `navigation` | `layout.L(...)` |
+| C | `<main>` | `main` | `layout.C(...)` |
+| R | `<aside>` | `complementary` | `layout.R(...)` |
+| F | `<footer>` | `contentinfo` | `layout.F(...)` |
+
+### Variant String
+
+The variant string passed to `NewLayout()` determines which slots render and in which order:
+
+```go
+NewLayout("HLCRF")  // all five slots
+NewLayout("HCF")    // header, content, footer (no sidebars)
+NewLayout("C")      // content only
+NewLayout("LC")     // left sidebar and content
+```
+
+Slot letters not present in the variant string are ignored, even if nodes have been appended to those slots. Unrecognised characters (lowercase, digits, special characters) are silently skipped -- no error is returned.
+
+### Deterministic Block IDs
+
+Each rendered slot receives a `data-block` attribute encoding its position in the layout tree. At the root level, IDs use the slot letter itself:
+
+```html
+<header role="banner" data-block="H">...</header>
+<main role="main" data-block="C">...</main>
+<footer role="contentinfo" data-block="F">...</footer>
+```
+
+Block IDs are constructed by simple string concatenation (no `fmt.Sprintf`) to keep the `fmt` package out of the WASM import graph.
+
+### Nested Layouts
+
+`Layout` implements `Node`, so a layout can be placed inside any slot of another layout. At render time, nested layouts retain the parent's block ID as a prefix. This produces hierarchical paths:
+
+```go
+inner := html.NewLayout("HCF").
+    H(html.Raw("nav")).
+    C(html.Raw("body")).
+    F(html.Raw("links"))
+
+outer := html.NewLayout("HLCRF").
+    H(html.Raw("top")).
+    L(inner).              // inner layout nested in the Left slot
+    C(html.Raw("main")).
+    F(html.Raw("foot"))
+```
+
+The inner layout's slots render with prefixed block IDs: `L.0`, `L.0.1`, `L.0.2`. At 10 levels of nesting, the deepest block ID becomes `C.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0` (tested in `edge_test.go`).
+
+The clone-on-render approach means the original layout is never mutated. This is safe for concurrent use.
+
+### Fluent Builder
+
+All slot methods return `*Layout` for chaining. Multiple nodes can be appended to the same slot across multiple calls:
+
+```go
+html.NewLayout("HCF").
+    H(html.El("h1", html.Text("page.title"))).
+    C(html.El("p", html.Text("intro"))).
+    C(html.El("p", html.Text("body"))).       // appends to the same C slot
+    F(html.El("small", html.Text("footer")))
+```
+
+### Block ID Parsing
+
+`ParseBlockID()` in `path.go` extracts the slot letter sequence from a `data-block` attribute value:
+
+```go
+ParseBlockID("L.0.C.0")       // returns ['L', 'C']
+ParseBlockID("L-0-C-0")       // legacy hyphenated form, also returns ['L', 'C']
+ParseBlockID("C.0.C.0.C.0")    // returns ['C', 'C', 'C']
+ParseBlockID("H")              // returns ['H']
+ParseBlockID("")               // returns nil
+```
+
+This enables server-side or client-side code to locate a specific block in the rendered tree by its structural path.
+
+## Responsive Compositor
+
+`Responsive` wraps multiple named `Layout` variants for breakpoint-aware rendering:
+
+```go
+html.NewResponsive().
+    Variant("desktop", html.NewLayout("HLCRF").
+        H(html.Raw("header")).L(html.Raw("nav")).C(html.Raw("main")).
+        R(html.Raw("aside")).F(html.Raw("footer"))).
+    Variant("tablet", html.NewLayout("HCF").
+        H(html.Raw("header")).C(html.Raw("main")).F(html.Raw("footer"))).
+    Variant("mobile", html.NewLayout("C").
+        C(html.Raw("main")))
+```
+
+Each variant renders inside a `<div data-variant="name">` container. Variants render in insertion order. When supplied, `Responsive.Add(name, layout, media)` also emits `data-media="..."` on the wrapper so downstream CSS can reflect the breakpoint hint. CSS media queries or JavaScript can target these containers for show/hide logic.
+
+`VariantSelector(name)` returns a CSS attribute selector for a specific responsive variant, making stylesheet targeting less error-prone than hand-writing the attribute selector repeatedly.
+
+`Responsive` implements `Node`, so it can be passed to `Render()` or `Imprint()`. The `Variant()` method accepts `*Layout` specifically, not arbitrary `Node` values.
+
+Each variant maintains independent block ID namespaces -- nesting a layout inside a responsive variant does not conflict with the same layout structure in another variant.
+
+## Grammar Pipeline (Server-Side Only)
+
+The grammar pipeline is excluded from WASM builds via `//go:build !js` on `pipeline.go`. It bridges the rendering layer to the semantic analysis layer.
+
+### StripTags
+
+```go
+func StripTags(html string) string
+```
+
+Converts rendered HTML to plain text. Tag boundaries are collapsed into single spaces; the result is trimmed. The implementation is a single-pass rune scanner with no regular expressions and no allocations beyond the output `strings.Builder`. It does not handle `<script>` or `<style>` content because `go-html` never generates those elements.
+
+### Imprint
+
+```go
+func Imprint(node Node, ctx *Context) reversal.GrammarImprint
+```
+
+Runs the full render-to-analysis pipeline:
+
+1. Renders the node tree to HTML via `node.Render(ctx)`.
+2. Strips HTML tags via `StripTags()` to extract plain text.
+3. Tokenises the text via `go-i18n/reversal.NewTokeniser().Tokenise()`.
+4. Wraps tokens in a `reversal.GrammarImprint` for structural analysis.
+
+The resulting `GrammarImprint` exposes `TokenCount`, `UniqueVerbs`, and a `Similar()` method for pairwise semantic similarity scoring.
+
+A nil context is handled gracefully: `Imprint` creates a default context internally.
+
+### CompareVariants
+
+```go
+func CompareVariants(r *Responsive, ctx *Context) map[string]float64
+```
+
+Runs `Imprint` independently on each named layout variant in a `Responsive` and returns pairwise similarity scores. Keys are formatted as `"name1:name2"`.
+
+This enables detection of semantically divergent responsive variants -- for example, a mobile layout that strips critical information present in the desktop variant. Same-content variants with different layout structures (e.g. `HLCRF` vs `HCF`) score above 0.8 similarity.
+
+A single-variant `Responsive` produces an empty score map (no pairs to compare).
+
+## WASM Module
+
+The WASM entry point at `cmd/wasm/main.go` is compiled with `GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm` and exposes a single JavaScript function:
+
+```js
+gohtml.renderToString(variant, locale, slots)
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `variant` (string): HLCRF variant string, e.g. `"HCF"`.
+- `locale` (string): BCP 47 locale string for i18n, e.g. `"en-GB"`.
+- `slots` (object): Optional keys `H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F` containing HTML strings.
+
+Slot content is injected via `Raw()`. The caller is responsible for sanitisation -- the WASM module is a rendering engine for trusted content produced server-side or by the application's own templates.
+
+### Size Budget
+
+The WASM binary has a size gate enforced by `cmd/wasm/size_test.go`:
+
+| Metric | Limit | Current |
+|--------|-------|---------|
+| Raw binary | 3.5 MB | ~2.90 MB |
+| Gzip compressed | 1 MB | ~842 KB |
+
+The test builds the WASM binary as a subprocess and is skipped under `go test -short`. The Makefile `wasm` target performs the same build with size checking.
+
+### Server/Client Split
+
+The binary split is enforced by Go build tags:
+
+| File | Build Tag | Reason for WASM Exclusion |
+|------|-----------|--------------------------|
+| `pipeline.go` | `!js` | Imports `go-i18n/reversal` |
+| `cmd/wasm/register.go` | `!js` | Imports `encoding/json` and `text/template` |
+
+The WASM binary includes only: node types, layout, responsive, context, render, path, and `go-i18n` core translation. No codegen, no pipeline, no JSON, no templates, no `fmt`.
+
+## Codegen CLI
+
+`cmd/codegen/main.go` generates Web Component JavaScript bundles from HLCRF slot assignments at build time:
+
+```bash
+echo '{"H":"nav-bar","C":"main-content","F":"page-footer"}' | go run ./cmd/codegen/ > components.js
+```
+
+The `codegen` package (`codegen/codegen.go`) generates ES2022 class definitions with closed Shadow DOM. For each custom element tag, it produces:
+
+1. A class extending `HTMLElement` with a private `#shadow` field.
+2. `constructor()` attaching a closed shadow root (`mode: "closed"`).
+3. `connectedCallback()` dispatching a `wc-ready` custom event with the tag name and slot.
+4. `render(html)` method that sets shadow content from a `<template>` clone.
+5. A `customElements.define()` registration call.
+
+Tag names must contain a hyphen (Web Components specification requirement). `TagToClassName()` converts kebab-case to PascalCase: `nav-bar` becomes `NavBar`, `my-super-widget` becomes `MySuperWidget`.
+
+`GenerateBundle()` deduplicates tags -- if the same tag is assigned to multiple slots, only one class definition is emitted.
+
+The codegen CLI uses `encoding/json` and `text/template`, which are excluded from the WASM build. Consumers generate the JS bundle at build time and serve it as a static asset.
+

+- **Go 1.26** or later. The module uses Go 1.26 features (e.g. `range` over integers, `iter.Seq`).
+- **go-i18n** cloned alongside this repository at `../go-i18n` relative to the repo root. The `go.mod` `replace` directive points there.
+- **go-inference** also resolved via `replace` directive at `../go-inference`. It is an indirect dependency pulled in by `go-i18n`.
+- **Go workspace** (`go.work`): this module is part of a shared workspace. Run `go work sync` after cloning.
+
+No additional tools are required for server-side development. WASM builds require the standard Go cross-compilation support (`GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm`), included in all official Go distributions.

+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# All tests
+go test ./...
+
+# Single test by name
+go test -run TestElNode_Render .
+
+# Skip the slow WASM build test
+go test -short ./...
+
+# Verbose output
+go test -v ./...
+
+# Tests for a specific package
+go test ./codegen/
+go test ./cmd/codegen/
+go test ./cmd/wasm/
+```
+
+The WASM size gate test (`TestWASMBinarySize_WithinBudget`) builds the WASM binary as a subprocess. It is slow and is skipped under `-short`. It is also guarded with `//go:build !js` so it cannot run within the WASM environment itself.
+
+### Test Dependencies
+
+Tests use the `testify` library (`assert` and `require` packages). Integration tests and benchmarks that exercise `Text` nodes must initialise the `go-i18n` default service before rendering:
+
+```go
+svc, _ := i18n.New()
+i18n.SetDefault(svc)
+```
+
+The `bench_test.go` file does this in an `init()` function. Individual integration tests do so explicitly.
+
+## Benchmarks
+
+```bash
+# All benchmarks
+go test -bench . ./...
+
+# Specific benchmark
+go test -bench BenchmarkRender_FullPage .
+
+# With memory allocation statistics
+go test -bench . -benchmem ./...
+
+# Extended benchmark duration
+go test -bench . -benchtime=5s ./...
+```
+
+Available benchmark groups:
+
+| Group | Variants |
+|-------|----------|
+| `BenchmarkRender_*` | Depth 1, 3, 5, 7 element trees; full page with layout |
+| `BenchmarkLayout_*` | Content-only, HCF, HLCRF, nested, 50-child slot |
+| `BenchmarkEach_*` | 10, 100, 1000 items |
+| `BenchmarkResponsive_*` | Three-variant compositor |
+| `BenchmarkStripTags_*` | Short and long HTML inputs |
+| `BenchmarkImprint_*` | Small and large page trees |
+| `BenchmarkCompareVariants_*` | Two and three variant comparison |
+| `BenchmarkGenerateClass` | Single Web Component class generation |
+| `BenchmarkGenerateBundle_*` | Small (2-slot) and full (5-slot) bundles |
+| `BenchmarkTagToClassName` | Kebab-to-PascalCase conversion |
+| `BenchmarkGenerateRegistration` | `customElements.define()` call generation |
+
+## WASM Build
+
+```bash
+GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o gohtml.wasm ./cmd/wasm/
+```
+
+Strip flags (`-s -w`) are required. Without them, the binary is approximately 50% larger.
+
+The Makefile `wasm` target performs the build and checks the output size:
+
+```bash
+make wasm
+```
+
+The Makefile enforces a 1 MB gzip transfer limit and a 3 MB raw size limit. Current measured output: approximately 2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip.
+
+To verify the gzip size manually:
+
+```bash
+gzip -c -9 gohtml.wasm | wc -c
+```
+
+## Codegen CLI
+
+The codegen CLI reads a JSON slot map from stdin and writes a Web Component JS bundle to stdout:
+
+```bash
+echo '{"H":"site-header","C":"app-content","F":"site-footer"}' \
+    | go run ./cmd/codegen/ \
+    > components.js
+```
+
+JSON keys are HLCRF slot letters (`H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F`). Values are custom element tag names (must contain a hyphen per the Web Components specification). Duplicate tag values are deduplicated.
+
+Pass `-types` to emit ambient TypeScript declarations instead of JavaScript:
+
+```bash
+echo '{"H":"site-header","C":"app-content"}' \
+    | go run ./cmd/codegen/ -types \
+    > components.d.ts
+```
+
+For local development, `-watch` polls an input JSON file and rewrites the
+output file whenever the slot map changes:
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/codegen/ \
+    -watch \
+    -input slots.json \
+    -output components.js
+```
+
+To test the CLI:
+
+```bash
+go test ./cmd/codegen/
+```
+
+## Static Analysis
+
+```bash
+go vet ./...
+```
+
+The repository also includes a `.golangci.yml` configuration for `golangci-lint`.
+
+## Coding Standards
+
+### Language
+
+UK English throughout: colour, organisation, centre, behaviour, licence (noun), serialise. American spellings are not used.
+
+### Type Annotations
+
+All exported and unexported functions carry full parameter and return type annotations. The `any` alias is used in preference to `interface{}`.
+
+### HTML Safety
+
+- Use `Text()` for any user-supplied or translated content. It escapes HTML automatically.
+- Use `Raw()` only for content you control or have sanitised upstream. Its name explicitly signals "no escaping".
+- Never construct HTML by string concatenation in application code.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Errors are wrapped with context using `fmt.Errorf()`. The codegen package prefixes all errors with `codegen:`.
+
+### Determinism
+
+Output must be deterministic. `El` node attributes are sorted alphabetically before rendering. `map` iteration order in `codegen.GenerateBundle()` may vary across runs -- this is acceptable because Web Component registration order does not affect correctness.
+
+### Build Tags
+
+Files excluded from WASM use `//go:build !js` as the first line, before the `package` declaration. Files compiled only under WASM use `//go:build js && wasm`. The older `// +build` syntax is not used.
+
+The `fmt` package must never be imported in files without a `!js` build tag, as it significantly inflates the WASM binary. Use string concatenation instead of `fmt.Sprintf` in layout and node code.
+
+### Licence
+
+All new files should carry the EUPL-1.2 SPDX identifier:
+
+```go
+// SPDX-Licence-Identifier: EUPL-1.2
+```
+
+### Commit Format
+
+Conventional commits with lowercase type and optional scope:

+
+## Test Patterns
+
+### Standard Unit Test
+
+```go
+func TestElNode_Render(t *testing.T) {
+    ctx := NewContext()
+    node := El("div", Raw("content"))
+    got := node.Render(ctx)
+    want := "<div>content</div>"
+    if got != want {
+        t.Errorf("El(\"div\", Raw(\"content\")).Render() = %q, want %q", got, want)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Table-Driven Subtest
+
+```go
+func TestStripTags_Unicode(t *testing.T) {
+    tests := []struct {
+        name  string
+        input string
+        want  string
+    }{
+        {"emoji in tags", "<span>\U0001F680</span>", "\U0001F680"},
+        {"RTL in tags", "<div>\u0645\u0631\u062D\u0628\u0627</div>", "\u0645\u0631\u062D\u0628\u0627"},
+        {"CJK in tags", "<p>\u4F60\u597D\u4E16\u754C</p>", "\u4F60\u597D\u4E16\u754C"},
+    }
+    for _, tt := range tests {
+        t.Run(tt.name, func(t *testing.T) {
+            got := StripTags(tt.input)
+            if got != tt.want {
+                t.Errorf("StripTags(%q) = %q, want %q", tt.input, got, tt.want)
+            }
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Test with i18n
+
+```go
+func TestIntegration_RenderThenReverse(t *testing.T) {
+    svc, _ := i18n.New()
+    i18n.SetDefault(svc)
+    ctx := NewContext()
+
+    page := NewLayout("HCF").
+        H(El("h1", Text("Building project"))).
+        C(El("p", Text("Files deleted successfully"))).
+        F(El("small", Text("Completed")))
+
+    imp := Imprint(page, ctx)
+
+    if imp.UniqueVerbs == 0 {
+        t.Error("reversal found no verbs in rendered page")
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Codegen Tests with Testify
+
+```go
+func TestGenerateClass_ValidTag(t *testing.T) {
+    js, err := GenerateClass("photo-grid", "C")
+    require.NoError(t, err)
+    assert.Contains(t, js, "class PhotoGrid extends HTMLElement")
+    assert.Contains(t, js, "attachShadow")
+    assert.Contains(t, js, `mode: "closed"`)
+}
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+- `NewLayout("XYZ")` silently produces empty output for unrecognised slot letters. Valid letters are `H`, `L`, `C`, `R`, `F`. There is no error or warning.
+- `Responsive.Variant()` accepts only `*Layout`, not arbitrary `Node` values. Arbitrary subtrees must be wrapped in a single-slot layout first.
+- `Context.service` is unexported. Custom translation injection uses `NewContextWithService()`, and `Context.SetService()` can swap the translator later while preserving locale-aware services.
+- The WASM module has no integration test for the JavaScript exports. `size_test.go` tests binary size only; it does not exercise `renderToString` behaviour from JavaScript.
+- `codegen.GenerateBundle()` now renders output classes in sorted slot-key order so generated bundles are stable between runs.

+# Project History
+
+## Phase 1: Core Node Types (initial scaffolding)
+
+Commits: `d7bb0b2` through `c724094`
+
+The module was scaffolded with the Go module path `forge.lthn.ai/core/go-html`. The foundational work established:
+
+- `d7bb0b2` — Module scaffold, `Node` interface with `Render(ctx *Context) string`.
+- `3e76e72` — `Text` node wired to `go-i18n` grammar pipeline with HTML escaping.
+- `c724094` — Conditional nodes (`If`, `Unless`), entitlement gating (`Entitled`, deny-by-default), runtime dispatch (`Switch`), and type-safe iteration (`Each[T]`).
+
+The `Raw` escape hatch was present from the first commit. The decision to make `Text` always escape and `Raw` never escape was made at this stage and has not changed.
+
+## Phase 2: HLCRF Layout and Pipeline
+
+Commits: `946ea8d` through `ef77793`
+
+- `946ea8d` — `Layout` type with HLCRF slot registry. Semantic HTML elements (`<header>`, `<main>`, `<aside>`, `<footer>`) and ARIA roles assigned per slot.
+- `d75988a` — Nested layout path chains. Block IDs computed as `{slot}-0` at root, extended with `{parent}-{slot}-0` for nested layouts.
+- `40da0d8` — Deterministic attribute sorting and thread-safe nested layout cloning (clone-on-render pattern).
+- `f49ddbf` — `Attr()` helper for setting element attributes with chaining.
+- `e041f76` — `Responsive` multi-variant compositor with `data-variant` containers.
+- `8ac5123` — `StripTags` single-pass rune scanner for HTML-to-text stripping.
+- `76cef5a` — `Imprint()` full render-reverse-imprint pipeline using `go-i18n/reversal`.
+- `ef77793` — `CompareVariants()` pairwise semantic similarity scoring across responsive variants.
+
+## Phase 3: WASM Entry Point
+
+Commits: `456adce` through `9bc1fa7`
+
+- `456adce` — Makefile with `wasm` target. Size gate: `WASM_GZ_LIMIT = 1048576` (1 MB). Initial measurement revealed the binary was already too large at this stage.
+- `5acf63c` — WASM entry point `cmd/wasm/main.go` with `renderToString` exported to `window.gohtml`.
+- `2fab89e` — Integration tests refactored to use `Imprint` pipeline.
+- `e34c5c9` — WASM browser test harness added.
+- `18d2933` — WASM binary size reporting improvements.
+- `9bc1fa7` — Variant name escaping in `Responsive`, single-pass `StripTags` optimisation, WASM security contract documented in source.
+
+## Phase 4: Codegen and Web Components
+
+Commits: `937c08d` through `ab7ab92`
+
+- `37b50ab`, `496513e` — Phase 4 design documents and implementation plan.
+- `937c08d` — `codegen` package with `GenerateClass`, `GenerateBundle`, `TagToClassName`. Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM.
+- `dcd55a4` — `registerComponents` export added to `cmd/wasm/main.go`, bridging JSON slot config to WC bundle JS. This was the source of the subsequent binary size problem.
+- `ab7ab92` — Transitive `replace` directive added for `go-inference`.
+
+## WASM Binary Size Reduction
+
+Commits: `6abda8b`, `4c65737`, `aae5d21`
+
+The initial WASM binary measured 6.04 MB raw / 1.58 MB gzip — 58% over the 1 MB gzip limit set in the Makefile. The root causes were three heavyweight stdlib imports pulled in by `registerComponents()` in the WASM binary:
+
+| Import | Approx. gzip contribution |
+|--------|--------------------------|
+| `encoding/json` | ~200 KB |
+| `text/template` | ~125 KB |
+| `fmt` (via `layout.go`) | ~50 KB |
+| `go-i18n/reversal` (via `pipeline.go`) | ~250 KB |
+
+**Total bloat**: ~625 KB gzip over the core rendering requirement.
+
+The fix was applied in three distinct steps:
+
+### Step 1: Remove registerComponents from WASM (`4c65737`)
+
+`cmd/wasm/register.go` received a `//go:build !js` build tag, completely excluding it from the WASM compilation unit. The `registerComponents` entry on the `gohtml` JS object was removed from `cmd/wasm/main.go`. The codegen function was moved to a standalone build-time CLI at `cmd/codegen/main.go`. This eliminated `encoding/json` and `text/template` from the WASM import graph.
+
+### Step 2: Remove pipeline from WASM
+
+`pipeline.go` received a `//go:build !js` build tag. The `Imprint()` and `CompareVariants()` functions depend on `go-i18n/reversal`, which is a heavyweight analysis library. These functions are server-side analysis tools and have no use in a client-side rendering module. The `renderToString` function in the WASM entry point never called them, so removal was non-breaking.
+
+### Step 3: Eliminate fmt from WASM
+
+`layout.go`'s `blockID()` method had used `fmt.Sprintf` for string construction. Replacing this with direct string concatenation (`l.path + string(slot) + "-0"`) removed `fmt` from the WASM import graph entirely.
+
+**Result**: 2.90 MB raw, 842 KB gzip. 47% reduction in gzip size. Well within the 1 MB limit.
+
+### Size gate test (`aae5d21`)
+
+`cmd/wasm/size_test.go` was added to prevent regression. `TestWASMBinarySize_WithinBudget` builds the WASM binary in a temp directory, gzip-compresses it, and asserts:
+
+- Gzip size < 1,048,576 bytes (1 MB).
+- Raw size < 3,145,728 bytes (3 MB).
+
+The test is skipped under `go test -short` and is guarded with `//go:build !js`.
+
+## Test Coverage Milestones
+
+- `7efd2ab` — Benchmarks added across all subsystems. Unicode edge case tests. Stress tests.
+- `ab7ab92` — 53 passing tests across the package and sub-packages.
+- `aae5d21` — 70+ tests passing (server-side); WASM size gate and codegen CLI tests added.
+
+## Known Limitations (as of current HEAD)
+
+These are not regressions; they are design choices or deferred work recorded for future consideration.
+
+1. **Invalid layout variants are silently ignored.** `NewLayout("XYZ")` produces empty output, and the compatibility helpers `ValidateLayoutVariant()` / `VariantError()` now return `nil`.
+
+2. **No WASM integration test.** `cmd/wasm/size_test.go` tests binary size only. The `renderToString` behaviour is tested by building and running the WASM binary in a browser, not by an automated test. A `syscall/js`-compatible test harness would be needed.
+
+3. **Responsive accepts only Layout.** `Responsive.Variant()` takes `*Layout` rather than `Node`. The rationale is that `CompareVariants` in the pipeline needs access to the slot structure. Accepting `Node` would require a different approach to variant analysis.
+
+4. **Context.service is private.** The i18n service is still unexported, but callers can now swap it explicitly with `Context.SetService()`. This keeps the field encapsulated while allowing controlled mutation.
+
+5. **TypeScript definitions are generated.** `codegen.GenerateTypeScriptDefinitions()` and the `cmd/codegen -types` flag emit `.d.ts` companions for generated Web Components.
+
+6. **CSS scoping helper added.** `VariantSelector(name)` returns a reusable `data-variant` attribute selector for stylesheet targeting. The `Responsive` rendering model remains unchanged.
+
+7. **Browser polyfill matrix not documented.** Closed Shadow DOM is well-supported but older browsers require polyfills. The support matrix is not documented.
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+These items were captured during the WASM size reduction work and expert review sessions. They are not committed work items.
+
+- **TypeScript type definitions** alongside `GenerateBundle()` for typed Web Component consumers.
+- **Accessibility helpers** — `aria-label` builder, `alt` text helpers, and focus management helpers (`TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`). The layout has semantic HTML and ARIA roles but no API for fine-grained accessibility attributes beyond `Attr()`.
+- **Responsive CSS helpers** — `VariantSelector(name)` makes `data-variant` targeting explicit and reusable in stylesheets.
+- **Layout variant validation** — return a warning or sentinel error from `NewLayout` when the variant string contains unrecognised slot characters.
+- **Daemon mode for codegen** — watch mode for regenerating the JS bundle when slot config changes, for development workflows.

+title: go-html
+description: HLCRF DOM compositor with grammar pipeline integration for type-safe server-side HTML generation and optional WASM client rendering.
+---
+
+# go-html
+
+`go-html` is a pure-Go library for building HTML documents as type-safe node trees and rendering them to string output. It provides a five-slot layout compositor (Header, Left, Content, Right, Footer -- abbreviated HLCRF), a responsive multi-variant wrapper, a server-side grammar analysis pipeline, a Web Component code generator, and an optional WASM module for client-side rendering.
+
+**Module path:** `dappco.re/go/core/html`
+**Go version:** 1.26
+**Licence:** EUPL-1.2
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import html "dappco.re/go/core/html"
+
+func main() {
+    page := html.NewLayout("HCF").
+        H(html.El("nav", html.Text("nav.label"))).
+        C(html.El("article",
+            html.El("h1", html.Text("page.title")),
+            html.Each(items, func(item Item) html.Node {
+                return html.El("li", html.Text(item.Name))
+            }),
+        )).
+        F(html.El("footer", html.Text("footer.copyright")))
+
+    output := page.Render(html.NewContext())
+}
+```
+
+This builds a Header-Content-Footer layout with semantic HTML elements (`<header>`, `<main>`, `<footer>`), ARIA roles, and deterministic `data-block` path identifiers. Text nodes pass through the `go-i18n` translation layer and are HTML-escaped by default. The rendering context exposes both `Data` and `Metadata` as the same backing map, and locale/service setters keep translation wiring explicit.
+
+## Package Layout
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `node.go` | `Node` interface and all node types: `El`, `Text`, `Raw`, `If`, `Unless`, `Each`, `EachSeq`, `Switch`, `Entitled`, plus `AriaLabel`, `AltText`, `TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`, and `Role` helpers |
+| `layout.go` | HLCRF compositor with semantic HTML elements and ARIA roles |
+| `responsive.go` | Multi-variant breakpoint wrapper (`data-variant` containers) and CSS selector helper |
+| `context.go` | Rendering context: identity, locale, entitlements, data/metadata alias, i18n service |
+| `render.go` | `Render()` convenience function |
+| `path.go` | `ParseBlockID()` for decoding `data-block` path attributes |
+| `pipeline.go` | `StripTags`, `Imprint`, `CompareVariants` (server-side only, `!js` build tag) |
+| `codegen/codegen.go` | Web Component class generation (closed Shadow DOM) |
+| `cmd/codegen/main.go` | Build-time CLI: JSON slot map on stdin, JS bundle on stdout |
+| `cmd/wasm/main.go` | WASM entry point exporting `renderToString()` to JavaScript |
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+**Node tree** -- All renderable units implement `Node`, a single-method interface: `Render(ctx *Context) string`. The library composes nodes into trees using `El()` for elements, `Text()` for translated text, control-flow constructors (`If`, `Unless`, `Each`, `Switch`, `Entitled`), and accessibility helpers (`AriaLabel`, `AltText`, `TabIndex`, `AutoFocus`, `Role`).
+
+**HLCRF Layout** -- A five-slot compositor that maps to semantic HTML: `<header>` (H), `<nav>` (L), `<main>` (C), `<aside>` (R), `<footer>` (F). The variant string controls which slots render: `"HLCRF"` for all five, `"HCF"` for three, `"C"` for content only. Layouts nest: placing a `Layout` inside another layout's slot produces hierarchical `data-block` paths like `L.0`, `L.0.1`, and `L.0.2`.
+
+**Responsive variants** -- `Responsive` wraps multiple `Layout` instances with named breakpoints (e.g. `"desktop"`, `"mobile"`). Each variant renders inside a `<div data-variant="name">` container for CSS or JavaScript targeting, and `Responsive.Add(name, layout, media)` can also annotate the container with `data-media`. `VariantSelector(name)` returns a ready-made attribute selector for styling these containers from CSS.
+
+**Grammar pipeline** -- Server-side only. `Imprint()` renders a node tree to HTML, strips tags, tokenises the plain text via `go-i18n/reversal`, and returns a `GrammarImprint` for semantic analysis. `CompareVariants()` computes pairwise similarity scores across responsive variants.
+
+**Web Component codegen** -- `cmd/codegen/` generates ES2022 Web Component classes with closed Shadow DOM from a JSON slot-to-tag mapping. This is a build-time tool, not used at runtime.

+**Files:** 13
+
+## Types
+
+### `Context`
+`type Context struct`
+
+Context carries rendering state through the node tree.
+Usage example: ctx := NewContext()
+
+Fields:
+- `Identity string`
+- `Locale string`
+- `Entitlements func(feature string) bool`
+- `Data map[string]any`
+- Unexported fields are present.
+
+Methods:
+None.
+
+### `Layout`
+`type Layout struct`
+
+Layout is an HLCRF compositor. Arranges nodes into semantic HTML regions
+with deterministic path-based IDs.
+Usage example: page := NewLayout("HCF").H(Text("title")).C(Text("body"))
+
+Fields:
+- No exported fields.
+- Unexported fields are present.
+
+Methods:
+- `func (l *Layout) C(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
+  C appends nodes to the Content (main) slot.
+  Usage example: NewLayout("C").C(Text("body"))
+- `func (l *Layout) F(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
+  F appends nodes to the Footer slot.
+  Usage example: NewLayout("CF").F(Text("footer"))
+- `func (l *Layout) H(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
+  H appends nodes to the Header slot.
+  Usage example: NewLayout("HCF").H(Text("title"))
+- `func (l *Layout) L(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
+  L appends nodes to the Left aside slot.
+  Usage example: NewLayout("LC").L(Text("nav"))
+- `func (l *Layout) R(nodes ...Node) *Layout`
+  R appends nodes to the Right aside slot.
+  Usage example: NewLayout("CR").R(Text("ads"))
+- `func (l *Layout) Render(ctx *Context) string`
+  Render produces the semantic HTML for this layout.
+  Usage example: html := NewLayout("C").C(Text("body")).Render(NewContext())
+  Only slots present in the variant string are rendered.
+
+### `Node`
+`type Node interface`
+
+Node is anything renderable.
+Usage example: var n Node = El("div", Text("welcome"))
+
+Members:
+- `Render(ctx *Context) string`
+
+Methods:
+None.
+
+### `Responsive`
+`type Responsive struct`
+
+Responsive wraps multiple Layout variants for breakpoint-aware rendering.
+Usage example: r := NewResponsive().Variant("mobile", NewLayout("C"))
+Each variant is rendered inside a container with data-variant for CSS targeting.
+
+Fields:
+- No exported fields.
+- Unexported fields are present.
+
+Methods:
+- `func (r *Responsive) Render(ctx *Context) string`
+  Render produces HTML with each variant in a data-variant container.
+  Usage example: html := NewResponsive().Variant("mobile", NewLayout("C")).Render(NewContext())
+- `func (r *Responsive) Variant(name string, layout *Layout) *Responsive`
+  Variant adds a named layout variant (e.g., "desktop", "tablet", "mobile").
+  Usage example: NewResponsive().Variant("desktop", NewLayout("HLCRF"))
+  Variants render in insertion order.
+
+### `Translator`
+`type Translator interface`
+
+Translator provides Text() lookups for a rendering context.
+Usage example: ctx := NewContextWithService(myTranslator)
+
+The default server build uses go-i18n. Alternate builds, including WASM,
+can provide any implementation with the same T() method.
+
+Members:
+- `T(key string, args ...any) string`
+
+Methods:
+None.
+
+## Functions
+
+### `Attr`
+`func Attr(n Node, key, value string) Node`
+
+Attr sets an attribute on an El node. Returns the node for chaining.
+Usage example: Attr(El("a", Text("docs")), "href", "/docs")
+It recursively traverses through wrappers like If, Unless, and Entitled.
+
+### `CompareVariants`
+`func CompareVariants(r *Responsive, ctx *Context) map[string]float64`
+
+CompareVariants runs the imprint pipeline on each responsive variant independently
+and returns pairwise similarity scores. Key format: "name1:name2".
+Usage example: scores := CompareVariants(NewResponsive(), NewContext())
+
+### `Each`
+`func Each[T any](items []T, fn func(T) Node) Node`
+
+Each iterates items and renders each via fn.
+Usage example: Each([]string{"a", "b"}, func(v string) Node { return Text(v) })
+
+### `EachSeq`
+`func EachSeq[T any](items iter.Seq[T], fn func(T) Node) Node`
+
+EachSeq iterates an iter.Seq and renders each via fn.
+Usage example: EachSeq(slices.Values([]string{"a", "b"}), func(v string) Node { return Text(v) })
+
+### `El`
+`func El(tag string, children ...Node) Node`
+
+El creates an HTML element node with children.
+Usage example: El("section", Text("welcome"))
+
+### `Entitled`
+`func Entitled(feature string, node Node) Node`
+
+Entitled renders child only when entitlement is granted. Absent, not hidden.
+Usage example: Entitled("beta", Text("preview"))
+If no entitlement function is set on the context, access is denied by default.
+
+### `If`
+`func If(cond func(*Context) bool, node Node) Node`
+
+If renders child only when condition is true.
+Usage example: If(func(ctx *Context) bool { return ctx.Identity != "" }, Text("hi"))
+
+### `Imprint`
+`func Imprint(node Node, ctx *Context) reversal.GrammarImprint`
+
+Imprint renders a node tree to HTML, strips tags, tokenises the text,
+and returns a GrammarImprint — the full render-reverse pipeline.
+Usage example: imp := Imprint(Text("welcome"), NewContext())
+
+### `NewContext`
+`func NewContext() *Context`
+
+NewContext creates a new rendering context with sensible defaults.
+Usage example: html := Render(Text("welcome"), NewContext())
+
+### `NewContextWithService`
+`func NewContextWithService(svc Translator) *Context`
+
+NewContextWithService creates a rendering context backed by a specific translator.
+Usage example: ctx := NewContextWithService(myTranslator)
+
+### `NewLayout`
+`func NewLayout(variant string) *Layout`
+
+NewLayout creates a new Layout with the given variant string.
+Usage example: page := NewLayout("HLCRF")
+The variant determines which slots are rendered (e.g., "HLCRF", "HCF", "C").
+
+### `NewResponsive`
+`func NewResponsive() *Responsive`
+
+NewResponsive creates a new multi-variant responsive compositor.
+Usage example: r := NewResponsive()
+
+### `ParseBlockID`
+`func ParseBlockID(id string) []byte`
+
+ParseBlockID extracts the slot sequence from a data-block ID.
+Usage example: slots := ParseBlockID("L-0-C-0")
+"L-0-C-0" → ['L', 'C']
+
+### `Raw`
+`func Raw(content string) Node`
+
+Raw creates a node that renders without escaping (escape hatch for trusted content).
+Usage example: Raw("<strong>trusted</strong>")
+
+### `Render`
+`func Render(node Node, ctx *Context) string`
+
+Render is a convenience function that renders a node tree to HTML.
+Usage example: html := Render(El("main", Text("welcome")), NewContext())
+
+### `StripTags`
+`func StripTags(html string) string`
+
+StripTags removes HTML tags from rendered output, returning plain text.
+Usage example: text := StripTags("<main>Hello <strong>world</strong></main>")
+Tag boundaries are collapsed into single spaces; result is trimmed.
+Does not handle script/style element content (go-html does not generate these).
+
+### `Switch`
+`func Switch(selector func(*Context) string, cases map[string]Node) Node`
+
+Switch renders based on runtime selector value.
+Usage example: Switch(func(ctx *Context) string { return ctx.Locale }, map[string]Node{"en": Text("hello")})
+
+### `Text`
+`func Text(key string, args ...any) Node`
+
+Text creates a node that renders through the go-i18n grammar pipeline.
+Usage example: Text("welcome", "Ada")
+Output is HTML-escaped by default. Safe-by-default path.
+
+### `Unless`
+`func Unless(cond func(*Context) bool, node Node) Node`
+
+Unless renders child only when condition is false.
+Usage example: Unless(func(ctx *Context) bool { return ctx.Identity == "" }, Text("welcome"))

From 5747b62ca2dbbe8d7c51e209d1a00f4991719c9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Codex <snider@host.uk.com>
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 18:29:33 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 37/55] fix(go-html): replace testify with stdlib testing
 patterns (AX-6)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Removes testify + indirect deps from go.mod/go.sum; rewrites
assert/require calls in cmd/codegen/main_test.go, cmd/wasm/
register_test.go + size_test.go, and codegen/codegen_test.go to
stdlib t.Fatalf patterns. go vet + go test all clean.

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=729

Via-codex-lane: Brontes-729 dispatch (fell back to cloud codex — local Lemmy lacks tool-call support)

Subject: [PATCH 38/55] chore(go-html): migrate module path to
 dappco.re/go/html
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Renamed module from dappco.re/go/core/html → dappco.re/go/html per
RFC, aligning with all other graduated Go repos which use dappco.re/
go/{name}. The embedded "core" in the old path collided conceptually
with the CoreGO root package (dappco.re/go/core).

Updated go.mod and 3 cmd/* files with the new import path. Doc/spec
references outside the allowlist remain and can be swept separately.

Verification: GOWORK=off go build ./... passes; no stale path left in
any *.go.

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=277

Subject: [PATCH 39/55] fix(go-html): remove banned reflect from context.go and
 node.go (AX-6)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Neither file is WASM-linked so the reflect exception in layout.go/
responsive.go (RFC §11) does not apply.

context.go:
- Replaced reflect.TypeOf(svc) translator detection with an
  AvailableLanguages() interface path
- Replaced reflect.ValueOf(a).Pointer() map pointer identity with a
  temporary sentinel alias probe

node.go:
- Replaced reflect-based typed-nil detection with explicit type-switch
- Added generic isNilHTMLNode() marker on eachNode[T]

Dropped reflect import in both files.

Verification: go vet + go test -short ./... pass.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Added `// Note:` annotations on html (html.EscapeString for text node
rendering) and strconv (attribute numeric parsing) imports in node.go.
Both are WASM-exempt — go-html keeps its WASM binary under the 3.5MB
budget, so core.* helpers would add binary weight.

reflect was already purged in f2ad72b (#275); context.go has no
html/strconv to annotate.

 deps per AX-6
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Module line was already dappco.re/go/html (migrated in #277). Updated
14 *.go files + go.mod require entries: dappco.re/go/core/{name} →
dappco.re/go/{name}.

Pre-existing module proxy gap (dappco.re/go/i18n@v0.2.1 404) is
unrelated — separate ticket.

 AX-6
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replaced forge.lthn.ai/core/go-inference → dappco.re/go/inference.
Removed stale forge.lthn.ai/core/go-log (dappco.re/go/log already a
direct require).

 scaffold
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Migrate any forge.lthn.ai/core/* and dappco.re/go/core/* paths in go.mod and .go imports to canonical dappco.re/go/* form
- Bump dappco.re/go/* deps (i18n, io, log, process, etc) to v0.8.0-alpha.1
- Add tests/cli/html/Taskfile.yaml AX-10 scaffold (build/vet/test under default deps), per RFC-CORE-008-AGENT-EXPERIENCE.md §10
- go-html is library + cmd/codegen + cmd/wasm; build target validates all

Subject: [PATCH 44/55] fix(html): purge banned os/os-signal/flag imports from
 cmd/codegen/main.go (#614)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Removed flag + os + os/signal direct imports
- Flag parsing → core CLI command registration via c.Command / c.Cli()
- Errors propagated back to main
- /dev/stdout open replaced with fd writes for sandbox compat
- Watch mode uses Core context + Core signal action hooks

Build + race tests PASS (with cache redirect).

text_translate_args.go: strings.HasPrefix → core.HasPrefix, strings.Trim →
core.Trim. responsive.go: removed strings, escapeCSSString uses local
newTextBuilder() preserving uppercase CSS hex escaping.

Subject: [PATCH 46/55] fix(html): AX-6 sweep on layout.go

Removed errors import. Replaced errors.New with local sentinel error
type for ErrInvalidLayoutVariant (keeps exported var as error type).

Subject: [PATCH 47/55] docs(html): document WASM/server boundary on shared
 package files (#372)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds AX-6 exception boundary comments to context.go, node.go, render.go
explaining that these files are WASM-linked and intentionally cannot
import dappco.re/go/core (3.5MB raw / 1MB gzip WASM size budget per
RFC §7).

Reverts text_translate_args.go to use bare strings.* (correct for the
WASM-linked path) since the earlier core.* sweep was incorrect for
files in the WASM compile group.

Preflight (codex) found no docs/RFC.md in this repo and no dangling
RFC.models.md reference in docs/index.md or anywhere else. Go source
has types like Node, Layout, Responsive, Context — no substantive
Model-named type/module that would warrant a separate sub-spec.

Ticket presumed-stale or filed against a sibling repo. Closing as
no-op for go-html.

Subject: [PATCH 50/55] fix(go-html): remove 4 banned imports from
 cmd/codegen/main.go
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pass-2 sampling — pass 1 aliased "io" as goio rather than removing it
(failed the explicit "io alias removed" done-criterion).

This pass:
- Drops flag, io, os, os/signal entirely
- Replaces io.ReadAll/io.WriteString with coreio.Local.Read/Write
- /dev/stdin and /dev/stdout for stdin/stdout piping (no syscall fallback)
- Watch mode uses c.Context() shutdown lifecycle from core.Run
- main returns errors via core runner — no os.Exit / syscall.Exit

Final imports: context, time, dappco.re/go/core, dappco.re/go/html/codegen,
dappco.re/go/io, dappco.re/go/log.

Subject: [PATCH 51/55] feat(go-html/api+wasm): scaffold provider + WASM build
 target (#1019)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Per RFC §4-§8 + #731: PHP/server-side use cases (template rendering for
emails, CMS export) need POST /v1/html/render. Browser/PWA use cases
(client-side rendering without server round-trip) need WASM build with
renderToString(template, data) → html.

Lands the standard provider Service Framework + WASM target:
* pkg/api/provider.go — HTMLProvider implementing api.Provider
* pkg/api/handlers.go — POST /v1/html/render + POST /v1/html/grammar/check.
  Returns 501 with TODO(#731) for data-bound template rendering.
* AX-10 tests: provider Good/Bad/Ugly + httptest Good/Bad per route
* cmd/wasm/main.go — extended with renderToString(template, data)
  signature; legacy layout call path preserved for back-compat
* Taskfile.yaml — `task wasm:build` runs GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build
  -o dist/render.wasm ./cmd/wasm/

Stdlib WASM by default; tinygo as a documented follow-up if size
matters. dist/render.wasm produced at 2.2 MB on smoke build. Provider
mounting in core/api Engine left to follow-up.

go test ./... + go build ./... + task wasm:build all pass.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds entitled.go with EntitlementChecker interface, denyAll default,
emptyNode sentinel, and Entitled(args ...any) Node entry point that
supports both:
- Legacy Entitled(feature string, node Node) — context.Entitlements path
- New Entitled(checker EntitlementChecker, feature string, node Node) —
  explicit checker path

AX-10 Good/Bad/Ugly tests cover granted-checker, denied-checker, and
nil-checker (defaults to deny).

Codex note: node.go required removal of the old Entitled() function
declaration to avoid name collision — variadic shim in entitled.go
preserves existing callers.

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=731 (§6 only — §4/§5/§8 are separate lanes)

ShadowComponent type with RenderClass(), Register(), RenderAll().
Closed Shadow DOM by default, Mode "open" supported. Template
content rendered via existing Node.Render() at Go codegen time —
emitted JS uses a static string literal so the shadow root receives
pre-rendered HTML, no runtime concat that could accept untrusted input.

Local pascalCase + kebabCase helpers (with tests), including
leading/trailing dash normalisation.

AX-10 Good/Bad/Ugly tests pass via isolated GOWORK=off + temp GOPATH.

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=731 (§5 only — §4/§8 are separate lanes)

Subject: [PATCH 54/55] =?UTF-8?q?feat(go-html):=20GrammarImprint=20structu?=
 =?UTF-8?q?ral=20classifier=20per=20RFC=20=C2=A74=20(#731=20=C2=A74)?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Stamp + zero-value-usable GrammarImprint type. Imprint(node, ctx) derives
deterministic HLCRF-style paths via block coordinates, hashes (Path +
node type + child count) via stdlib FNV (// AX-6-exception: structural
hash, not crypto). Tags structural states: leaf, branch, empty,
truncated. Never reads text/raw content; never calls Render.

AX-10 Good/Bad/Ugly tests pass via GOWORK=off + temp GOPATH.

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=731 (§4 only — §6/§5/§8 are separate lanes)

Subject: [PATCH 55/55] =?UTF-8?q?feat(go-html):=20WASM=20renderToString=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?export=20per=20RFC=20=C2=A78=20(#731=20=C2=A78)?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

wasm.go (js && wasm build tag): RenderToString(node Node) string,
registered as globalThis.coreHTML.renderToString(nodeJSON) via
syscall/js.FuncOf. JSON node bridge inlined here.

syscall/js annotated with // AX-6-exception (no core/* primitive for
JS bridging).

Normal `go build ./...` passes (file excluded by build tag).
Cross-compile verified: GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build . — clean.

WASM tests documented, not run in sandbox:
  GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go test -run 'TestRenderToString' .

Closes tasks.lthn.sh/view.php?id=731 (§8 only — completes the four-section
sub-lane series for #731; consumer migration of the variadic Entitled()
shape is a separate follow-up if/when needed)
