Web Device layout component · ARC 2.0.0-beta.28

`related-content`

Web Device layout component `related-content`: purpose, boundaries, author entry, evidence, and sample honesty.

Web Device layout component — not an AUP primitive; not an AUP Web-only widget; not a Markdown directive.

Default-theme package: providers/runtime/web-device/themes/default/components/related-content/ (manifest.json + render.js). Resolved through the layout component chain (runtime surface → theme → optional site override).

Purpose

Related content section showing cross-linked items from layout bindings.

Boundaries

Do not call this an AUP primitive or put it under docs/aup/primitives/.
Do not mix multiple layout components' contracts on this page.
Manifest props are the author-facing contract; invented props are not portable.

Author entry

layout.aup + refs

Common author-facing props (from manifest): items

Surfaces

layout (and narrow where the theme supports it). Not the document Markdown directive surface.

Public status

experimental
