+- Hemlate examples must use real hemplate syntax, not Vue/Handlebars sketches: `{+ expr +}` for escaped text, `{+= expr =+}` only for trusted/rendered HTML, `+attr="expr"` for dynamic attributes, and Rust-shaped `h-if`, `h-for`, `h-match`, `h-case` directives (`h-case="_"` is the default arm).
 - JS runtime changes must preserve root-scoped lookup and avoid selectors, VDOM, expressions, and per-node listeners.
