“Supported” means the product assembly above exists; interaction, host services and file formats retain their own conditions. See status and integration rules. Licensing is shown separately.

Installation

sh

Install in Editor extensions. The host supplies a view, container and persistence; see Quick start.

ts

Use compatible versions available from your distribution source. This site uses the Alpha workspace. License labels come from package metadata; see support and licensing.

Integration by editor

These snippets use an existing host element named element. The host owns container sizing and persistence; call instance.destroy() on teardown. Avoid duplicating preset capabilities and supply required host ports before installation.
