Registrant-private reactive facts previously reached components as raw
observables that each component subscribed by hand (InputBar notices/
lexicon via uSES, SettingsRoot via a version/subscribe/getter triple).
The inject face now carries a reserved hooks compartment of bare
sources; the renderer binds each into a use<Name> selector hook through
the same machinery as the provide channel, so components consume
useNotices/useLexicon/useSections and never see a subscription
primitive. InputBar and SettingsRoot are the first two consumers.
The shell is now a pure composition face: no dictionaries, no locale
dependency, and three new chrome content seats (settings.trigger /
settings.header / settings.close) whose slot content also carries the
accessible names (trigger text, dialog aria-labelledby, visually hidden
close label). ui-settings-general returns as the owner of copy that
belongs to no single feature: chrome content, the General section with
its item slot, and the settings dictionaries. Slot types split homes —
trigger/header/close/section live in the shell contract; the
settings.general.item entry moves to the locale package (the common
dependency of every item registrant), with ui-theme consuming it
through a re-export seam; the verbatim duplicate merges are gone and
the dependency graph is a clean DAG.
Generated docs follow the ui-models rename and the removed
ui-settings-general package; the English note side picks up the
feature-owner self-registration doctrine.
Settings collaboration direction (recorded in the note): the shell only
provides composition faces — feature plugins register themselves. The
General section moves into the ui-settings shell (order 0, skeleton
rows) and declares the settings.general.item list slot; locale registers
the Language row and ui-theme the Appearance row (each with its own
store mirror, dictionaries, and ledger-judged deferral); the
ui-settings-general package is gone. ui-settings-models becomes
ui-models — a feature package that contributes its Settings section
rather than a settings-owned satellite. The item-slot SlotMap entry is
authored in the ui-settings contract and repeated verbatim in
locale/ui-theme (reference-cycle avoidance; declaration merging keeps
the copies identical).
Full per-file coverage for the three settings packages: invariant
companions, store mirroring with revision guards, behavior-shaped
section/shell specs (props-fed, real store engine), and apply-level
suites on a real Context + SlotCore covering declaration-aware deferral
and HMR collapse recovery. All three registrants now judge presence on
the slot ledger instead of a local disposer, which went stale when a
parent redeclaration cascade removed the entry (ds-review-bot finding);
the locale re-register path keeps the same idempotence.
