Skill instructions
Docking in Reactor DockManager hosts a tree of dockable panes that the user can drag, split, tear out into floating windows, re-dock, pin to a side, and persist. It is the foundation for IDE-/Office-shaped apps (solution explorer + editor well + tool panes). csharp configure: host = DockingNativeInterop.Register(host.Reconciler) // required once at startup The ownership model — READ THIS FIRST This is the single most important rule, and the easiest to get wrong: The app owns CONTENT. The host owns SHAPE. - Content = which panes exist, their Title/Content/Key, which document is active. The app declares this via manager.Layout, fresh every render, derived from its own UseState. - Shape = the user's drag-modified arrangement: split orientations/ratios, which group a tab lives in, floating windows. The host owns this internally (spec 045 §2.30) and resolves the effective layout each render by matching your content to its shape by Key. ❌ The anti-pattern that breaks everything Do NOT round-
