A generic authoring guide and a leaner installed package. Internal evidence stays in the repository; compiler and runtime behavior stay unchanged.

PACKAGE HYGIENE

Useful guidance.
Verified contents.

AUTHORING

Supported patterns

The README explains native events and state, pure collection filters/counts, keyed children, and route-local static ownership. Public absolute links remain usable from npm.

PACKAGE

Actual tarball checks

Internal evidence and architecture Markdown leave npm but remain in the repository. Smoke assertions verify required files, byte-identical framework/CLI sources, unchanged exports/bin, and the README consumer.

MEASUREMENT

Historical package comparison

The same-tree pre-release comparison falls from 85 to 60 files and 536,166 to 200,431 gzip bytes, 62.6% smaller. These are not exact versioned release bytes or measured AI-token savings.

LIMITS

Evidence stays honest

Historical r7 on released 0.16.25 records Kudzu 20/25 versus React + Vite 25/25. All final outputs pass acceptance; five content attempts exceed budgets. Context-isolation limitations remain. No new AI run, rescoring, or sandbox claim is included, and 1.0.0 stays blocked.

UPGRADE

Same compiler. Clearer guide.

$npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.16.26
