 It intentionally uses buttons instead of custom JavaScript drag-and-drop; drag/local-first sync remain north-star features in `examples/kanban.md`.

 This is a polished Linear-style product demo for planning typed work across lanes. It is tailored to showcase slhx strengths:
 
 - modern SSR-first UI
-- generated resource modules from `.heml`
+- generated target objects from `.heml`
 - hemplate partials for issue lanes, cards, and inspector panels
-- native form posts wired through generated slhx handles
-- multi-target tuple-composed `IntoEffect` / `application/slhx` responses
+- native form posts wired through generated form/handle resources
+- multi-target tuple-composed `IntoEffect` responses
 - generated slot updates instead of selectors
-- root-scoped runtime lowering (`data-hid`, `data-sid`)
+- root-scoped runtime application without selector lookups
 - page-enhancer navigation with native link fallback
 - SSE server push into a generated slot
 - drag-and-drop lane moves persisted by typed server handlers through the slhx runtime
