docs(repo): realign Mosaic docs on the model/controller/view split - #9597
Conversation
The docs described a machine/controller/view split with the controller as the Clerk adapter. The UserButton settled on model/controller/view: the model is the only layer that touches Clerk, the controller holds local state, and the machine is one of two ways it can hold that state rather than a layer of its own. Rewrite the flow sections of the architecture reference and the mosaic skill around that, add a models.md for the Clerk-adapter layer, and fix the stale paths the audit turned up (utils/reset.styles.ts, the non-existent sections/ test templates, machine/ vs machines/).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Mosaic documentation changes the primary architecture from machine-controller-view to model-controller-view. Models own Clerk access and expose plain data and callbacks. Controllers own interaction state and action lifecycles. Views render plain props. Supporting guidance updates machine usage, testing, migration, parity audits, file structure, and style references. Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Several updated Mosaic examples are currently incorrect: the controller lifecycle can leave surfaces open or pending, and the testing example fails before exercising the behavior. Unresolved identifiers also make some copied snippets invalid, so these documentation issues should be fixed before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Align both references with the optional-machine architecture.
The updated documentation defines model/controller/view as the required layers and machines as optional controller implementations. The remaining machine-specific wording can make machines appear mandatory and can cause incomplete parity audits.

Make the controller harness expose the control used by the example.
Harness renders c.open as "true" or "false" inside an <output>. It renders only select-org as a button. It never renders text "open", so screen.getByText('open') throws before the action is tested. Render a control wired to the controller's real open action, or drive the controller from its actual initial state.

Make the architecture examples self-contained.
The model example uses undeclared membershipData and singleSessionMode. The controller example spreads undeclared data; the data parameter in UserButtonView is a separate scope. Define these values or mark the omitted setup explicitly so copied TypeScript does not contain unresolved identifiers.

Complete the controller machine lifecycle.
onOpenChange(false) sends CLOSE, but userButtonMachine handles no CLOSE event, so open remains true. RUN drops closeOnSuccess, and both invoke outcomes enter idle without clearing pendingKey or closing the surface after a successful close-on-success action. Add non-exiting CLOSE transitions, persist closeOnSuccess, and add separate success and failure completion actions. Also define or remove the undeclared data spread. Add controller tests for dismissal, success, and failure.

Description
The Mosaic flow docs described a machine → controller → view split with the controller as the Clerk adapter.
UserButtonsettled on a different shape, and this brings the docs in line with it.model → controller → view
*.model.tsxis the only file that imports Clerk. It answers with a discriminatedstatus(loading/hidden/ready) plus plain data and plain callbacks over ids. A capability the instance lacks is expressed by omitting the callback, so the model never describes UI.*.controller.tsxis local state, with no Clerk in it at all. It wraps model actions to drivependingKey, freezes the model sosetActivecan't rearrange the popup mid-action, and decides what closes the surface.*.view.tsxtakes plain props — notsnapshot/send.A machine is no longer documented as a layer. It is one of two ways a controller can hold its state, picked on complexity:
useStatefor a boolean that never touches async, a machine once there's an async lifecycle or two values that must change together, sometimes both in one controller. Either way the controller returns plain props, so the view and its tests can't tell. The criteria stay inmachine/ADOPTION.mdrather than being restated.Also corrected, from a pass over the rest of the docs:
testing.mdpointed atsrc/mosaic/sections/__tests__/delete-organization.*, which doesn't exist. Rewritten against the realuser-button/__tests__/set, including the wrapper and integration tests it never covered.*.types.ts,*.messages.ts,*.layout.ts,blocks/,utils/*.styles.ts.components/reset.styles.ts→utils/reset.styles.tsin both the Files table and the prose.machine/(the runtime) vsmachines/— one letter apart and never explained.Token architecture, the
.cl-<slot>+data-<axis>contract,MosaicProvider, the authoring pattern, the CSS build, andstylex.mdwere all still accurate and are unchanged.Checklist
