Document how to serve binary content (e.g., video) via MCP resources
as base64-encoded blobs. Includes server-side registration using the
`blob` field and client-side fetching with conversion to data URIs.

Documents the recommended approach for real-time dashboards that need to
poll server tools at regular intervals. Includes both Vanilla JS and
React examples with proper cleanup handling via `app.onteardown` and
`useEffect` cleanup functions respectively.
Also updates the "Tools that are private to Apps" section to mention
polling as a use case for app-only visibility.

concrete code preview pattern for `ontoolinputpartial`
- Rename callback parameter `params` → `ctx` for clarity across all
`onhostcontextchanged` handlers

* docs: standardize UI terminology to use "view" consistently
Replaces "widget" and "Guest UI" terminology with "view" across
the codebase as decided in the community survey.
This change updates:
- Specification document
- SDK source code and JSDoc comments
- Example servers and documentation
- Plugin documentation and skills
Closes#71

Add `IntersectionObserver` pattern for pausing expensive operations
(animations, WebGL, polling) when widgets scroll out of view.
- Add `visibilityBasedPause` example to `patterns.tsx` with play/pause
callbacks and `onteardown` cleanup
- Document pattern in `patterns.md` with link to MDN docs

Replaces the TODO stub with complete server-side and client-side examples
based on the `pdf-server` implementation pattern:
- Server: shows returning `widgetUUID` via `CallToolResult._meta`
- Client: shows receiving UUID via `ontoolresult`, using it as localStorage
key with generic `saveState<T>()` / `loadState<T>()` helpers
Also clarifies the distinction between widget state persistence (UI state
surviving page reloads) and `updateModelContext()` (model-visible state).

Adds JSDoc example `App_updateModelContext_reportError` showing how to
report runtime errors (e.g., microphone permission denied) back to the
model using `updateModelContext`.
Updates patterns.md with clearer framing:
- Server-side (tool handler): return `{ isError: true, ... }`
- Client-side (app): use `updateModelContext` for runtime errors

- Expand `App_ontoolinputpartial_progressiveRendering` example in
`app.examples.ts` to show full state management pattern with
`toolInputs` and `toolInputsPartial` variables
- Add healed JSON caveat to `ontoolinputpartial` JSDoc in `app.ts`
- Update `patterns.md` to reference the expanded example and document
the streaming preview pattern
- Remove empty `lowerPerceivedLatency` placeholder from `patterns.tsx`

Add `App_onhostcontextchanged_respondToDisplayMode` example showing how to
listen for display mode changes and update UI with `classList.toggle()`.
Update `App_requestDisplayMode_fullscreen` to `App_requestDisplayMode_toggle`
to show the common toggle pattern checking `availableDisplayModes` first.
Refactor full examples (pdf-server, shadertoy-server) to use
`classList.toggle(class, condition)` instead of add/remove branches.

Merge the separate "Support native host styling using CSS variables" and
"Reacting to light/dark theme changes" sections into a single "Matching
host styling (CSS variables, theme, and fonts)" pattern. This provides
clearer guidance by covering all three concerns together.
- Rename `docs/patterns.ts` to `docs/patterns.tsx` for JSX support
- Add `hostStylingVanillaJs` and `hostStylingReact` consolidated examples
- Enhance `applyHostFonts_fromHostContext` to apply initial fonts after
`connect()`, not just on context change
- Add CSS usage examples to `applyHostStyleVariables()` JSDoc
- Update font example to use `var(--font-sans, system-ui, sans-serif)`
