🥸 and by meticulous attention to the approach in typesetting, schema declarations, along with unit testing coverage we were able to RAPIDLY migrate existing, non associated component trees from one mongo collection into another all while avoiding regressions.

And now with the refactored component dispatcher setup it is going to be MUCH EASIER to add in dynamic elements into this here ol bag of bolts after the ol' refactor.
Nice to have functionality back online.

The update component dispatcher logic is working now. As is the bluesky embed... but!
In classic dev form we appear to have the *best* sizing issue we have encountered to date.

the midst of a fairly major paradigm shift in the deployment methodology pipeline simply because of the accelerated ease of data composition and prototype automations.
That’s not to say the fundamentals are out the window Jim.
It means we gotta buckle up and look towards the end zone.

Well it’s been a long slog there Jim, and the lights are at the end of the tunnel which is also when to not get your wits down if you know what I mean.
But the truth is, cliché may not have killed anyone. Radio stars, video megaladons… maybe influencers. What I’m saying is that we see to be in

Why oh why do we talk relentlessly about interstitatial state management on here?
Well.. dev minions. THIS IS BECAUSE when it's executed well it's immaculate.
And while our little Claudey Show pony is having their time in the star shine and doesn't need the hat tip this
Is well executed.

A lot of this becomes an number of permutations around a chicken or an egg problem.
One the one hand we could previsualize with our designs. Then we tried to build prototypes in an administrative styleguide. But!

So as to not raincloud on a deeply complex issue, it's been interesting to tease out use cases FOR generative ai. In this story the heavy lifting was pulled through things like running an array map FROM a zod schema bound to a component, then asking to "just make the checkbox ui" while zooming out

The culprit was styled components building on the server and then eating the minute remnants of both

![A flow diagram showing the Services Contact Form process on the Acorn website. The flow begins at START and moves to a Services Single page (default). Users encounter a form asking "Want to chat more about [service]?" with mandatory fields (First name, Last name, Email) and Message field. After form submission, there are two paths:
Success path (green): Leads to Services Single page (success state), sends verification email to inbox, then reaches END
Error path (red): If validation fails for mandatory fields, returns user to the form to correct entries
The diagram includes mockup thumbnails of the services page interface at the bottom. A note references the Figma mockups at the provided URL.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n3xrtzprp3blxeqiid5abew3/bafkreielzrh3tihvrnh7hulyqctkmi527mysilcucnjc6qqvqer7iatgre@jpeg)

It's a bit of back and forth, but now KNOWING we have all mongo collections added to the global data container without route provisioning, we can see how total blocking time is implicated by the mongo queries themselves which implicates largest contentful paint.
