Tasks follow the architecture spec phases: - Phase 0: key field on UElement (2 tasks + review) - Phase 1: reactive-host bridge / fiber tree (4 tasks + review) - Phase 2: key-based children reconciliation (3 tasks + review) - Phase 3: unmount & dispose support (4 tasks) - Phase 4: TypeBox value optimizations (4 tasks) Validated with taskgraph CLI: no cycles, 15 parallel generations, 3 high-risk tasks identified (signal-driven-updates, commit-mutations, fiber-disposal).

# Description
|
|
|
|
Add `key?: string` as a first-class field on `UElement` in both the TypeScript type and the TypeBox Module schema. This is Reconciler Roadmap Phase 0 (ADR-004).
|
|
|
|
The `key` field enables identity-based children matching in the reconciler. Without it, reconciliation is positional-only, which breaks when children are reordered, inserted, or removed. `key` is a reconciler concern, not a component concern — it must live outside `props` so that component schemas don't need to declare it and component functions never receive it.
|
|
|
|
`URoot` does NOT get a `key` field. Roots are unique per `createRoot()` call and are never children of another element.
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `UElement` TypeScript type has `key?: string` field
|
|
- [ ] TypeBox Module `UElement` schema includes `Type.Optional(Type.String())` for `key`
|
|
- [ ] `URoot` TypeScript type has no `key` field
|
|
- [ ] `URoot` TypeBox schema has no `key` field
|
|
- [ ] `isUElement` type guard still correctly discriminates UElement from URoot
|
|
- [ ] Existing tests pass (`npm run test`)
|
|
- [ ] New test: `UElement` with `key` field validates and type-checks
|
|
- [ ] New test: `UElement` without `key` field still works (backward compatible)
