Argues that isolating UI widgets as real components cuts entanglement so teams adapt faster, not just reuse for reuse’s sake. Demonstrates React-style component APIs, a suit CSS naming convention and a conformance checker that prefixes classes to prevent style leakage. Shows a build model using component.json dependency tree (the component package tool) so CSS/JS load order and asset bundles match actual component dependencies. Claims these tools reduce accidental coupling, speed iterative experiments, and keep long‑term maintenance tractable.
