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
- Add CSS snippet for fullscreen border-radius handling
- Expand display mode example to show `availableDisplayModes` check
- Fix minor typos and wording consistency

The `extractRegion()` function in `sync-snippets.ts` used `indexOf()` to
find region markers like `//#region persistData`. This caused incorrect
matching when one region name was a prefix of another—searching for
`persistData` would match `//#region persistDataServer` first if it
appeared earlier in the file.
The fix detects the file's line ending style and appends it to region
markers, ensuring exact matches:
- `//#region persistData\n` no longer matches `//#region persistDataServer\n`
This corrects `docs/patterns.md` where the `persistData` code fence was
incorrectly showing server-side code instead of client-side localStorage
helpers.

Migrate JSDoc and markdown documentation from `{@includeCode ./file#region}`
tags to inline code fences with `source="./file#region"` attributes.
Code examples are now visible directly in source files while remaining
type-checked via their `.examples.ts` source files.
Add `scripts/sync-snippets.ts` to extract code from `//#region` blocks
and sync it into labeled fences. Run with `npm run sync:snippets`.

* 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 explicit backtick-wrapped display text to all `{@link}` tags for
monospace rendering in TypeDoc output. This improves readability by:
- Using monospace font for code references (types, methods, functions)
- Stripping module prefixes from display text (e.g., `app!App.connect`
displays as `App.connect`)
Updated files across the SDK including `App`, `AppBridge`,
`PostMessageTransport`, React hooks, server helpers, types, and
documentation.

Each pattern section now includes a "See examples/..." link pointing
to a working implementation in the repository. This helps readers
quickly find real code demonstrating each pattern.

Add new pattern showing how to combine `updateModelContext()` with
`sendMessage()` when data exceeds message size limits. The example
demonstrates offloading a large transcript to model context first,
then sending a brief trigger message.

Documents `updateModelContext` for keeping the model informed about user
interactions. The example shows a shopping cart use case with YAML frontmatter
for structured, parseable context.
Also refines the `updateModelContext` JSDoc to clarify the difference from
`sendMessage` and removes the `structuredContent` example.

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)`
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reference existing JSDoc examples instead of maintaining a separate one in
`docs/patterns.ts`:
- Vanilla JS: `applyDocumentTheme_fromHostContext` from `styles.examples.ts`
- React: `useDocumentTheme_conditionalRender` for reactive theme reading
Expand `applyDocumentTheme_fromHostContext` example to show both the
`onhostcontextchanged` handler and initial theme application after `connect()`.
Note in the docs that `useHostStyles()` applies theme automatically, so React
apps don't need additional setup unless they want to read the theme reactively
for conditional rendering.

References existing type-checked examples instead of a stub:
- Vanilla JS: `applyHostStyleVariables_fromHostContext` from `src/styles.examples.ts`
- React: `useHostStyles_basicUsage` from `src/react/useHostStyles.examples.tsx`
Expanded `applyHostStyleVariables_fromHostContext` to show the full pattern:
using CSS variables in styles, applying on `onhostcontextchanged`, and
applying initial styles after `connect()`.

Document the `_meta.ui.visibility: ["app"]` feature in `docs/patterns.md`
by referencing the existing type-checked example from
`src/server/index.examples.ts#registerAppTool_toolVisibility`.
- Fix typo: `["apps"]` → `["app"]` (singular)
- Remove placeholder function from `docs/patterns.ts`
- Expand description to explain use cases

Introduces a patterns documentation page for common MCP Apps recipes.
The skeleton includes TODO sections for: perceived latency, iframe/MCP Apps
coexistence, authenticated calls, private tools, theme changes, fullscreen,
host styling, data persistence, OpenAI migration, and error handling.
- Add `docs/patterns.md` to `projectDocuments` in `typedoc.config.mjs`
- Add `docs/patterns.ts` companion file with region-delimited code stubs
- Include `docs/**/*.ts` in `tsconfig.json` for type-checking
- Document the standalone docs pattern in `CLAUDE.md`
