Web Device surface · ARC 2.0.0-beta.28

`comments-surface` surface

Web Device surface `comments-surface`: purpose, boundaries, author entry, evidence, and sample honesty.

Web Device surface — not an AUP primitive (surface); not an AUP widget (wm-surface / same-named widgets); not a theme layout component.

Package: providers/runtime/web-device/surfaces/comments-surface/ (manifest.json + render.js).

Purpose

Comment thread for the AFS path this page renders. Server output is a skeleton; the thread hydrates on the interactive path.

Boundaries

Surface packages are mounted by boards/routes/layout shells — they are not Markdown directives.
Same type name as a widget does not merge layers; this page is the surface contract only.
Do not document multiple surfaces on this page.

Author entry

surface mount / AUP

Common author-facing props (from manifest): target, title, composer, reactions, collect, requireAuth, emptyText, loginPromptText, composerText, errorText, retryText, messages

Surfaces

As implemented by this package (document shell, layout list, interactive site, etc. — see notes).
