Files seventeen documentation items and extends two.

The manual setup installs marko@next, which resolves to 6.1.8 while the current release is 6.3.46. validation.md describes ctx.body without a validator as the raw parsed body when it is undefined. Attributes on a registered custom element are written with setAttribute and never as properties, which no page states. Also covered: the browser-only setup with linked: false and Template.mount, @catch scope, when a <script> re-runs, the escaping rules per context, typing a <let> initialised with null, the empty Case 3 section in nested-reactivity.md, and serving the shipped cheatsheets from the site.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Adds agent-feedback records for Marko documentation gaps and runtime behavior findings. The records cover setup, compiler registration, reactivity, error handling, escaping, mounting, typing, custom elements, package exports, validation, installation, starter templates, routes, and whitespace. The change also adds seven technical terms to the CSpell dictionary.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7de2c

Mergeable with owner follow-up: several documentation entries still overstate or omit Marko behavior, including @catch placeholder coverage, mount-target semantics, and custom-element property behavior, while the spell-check configuration weakens typo detection. These issues may mislead readers or reduce documentation quality but do not affect runtime behavior.

from a later-running closure, subscribes and can re-register signal-bound
listeners, while assignment-only bodies do not; scope this to reactive tag

- Line 10: Update the `@catch` documentation to state that it covers errors thrown
while rendering both the <try> content and its `@placeholder` attribute tag,
including rejected <await> rendering; direct event-handler and effect errors to

detailed explanation, using sentence-fragment bullet items and leaving a blank
line before the following paragraph. Preserve the existing guidance that
registered custom element attributes must be written with setAttribute rather
than properties.
- Around line 10-12: The documentation should describe only Marko’s direct
behavior: update the custom-element attribute guidance to state that Marko uses
setAttribute and never assigns the same-named property directly, while noting
that an observed attribute’s attributeChangedCallback may receive the change and
assign the property. Remove the absolute claim that the property setter is never
called, and apply this wording consistently in the relevant native-tag and
integration guidance.

In `@agent-feedback/items/2026-08-28-template-mount-element-target.md`:
- Around line 10-12: Update the Template.mount documentation to distinguish
ShadowRoot from DocumentFragment behavior: state that mounting into an element

Which reads count needs the same statement. A read anywhere in the body subscribes, including from a closure that runs long after the effect returned, while an assignment alone does not: a `<script>` registering `document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => { if (e.key === "?") helpOpen = !helpOpen }, { signal: $signal })` compiles into `helpOpen`'s own `_let` signal, so every toggle aborts `$signal`, tears the listener down and registers a fresh one, whereas the same body writing `helpOpen = true` stays a one-time `$setup__script`. The qualification belongs on `docs/reference/language.md` › ### `$signal` too, which teaches this idiom with an empty listener body, the one variant that does not churn, and says `$signal` aborts when "The expression is invalidated" without saying what invalidates it. Scope the sentence to a read of a reactive tag variable rather than of any identifier, since marko `translator/util/references.ts` › `resolveReferencedBindingsInFunction` skips getter, hoisted and dom reads, so the `myButton()` element reference in the section's own example does not subscribe; and cross-link `## <lifecycle>`, whose `onMount` is the run-once tool for registering a listener that reads state.

Check: in the marko checkout, `pnpm run compile -- -o dom -d` on `<let/helpOpen=false><script>document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => { if (e.key === "?") helpOpen = !helpOpen; }, { signal: $signal });</script><div>${helpOpen}</div>` emits `_let("helpOpen/1", $scope => { _$signalReset($scope, 0); _text(...); $helpOpen__script($scope); })`, while the same body writing `helpOpen = true` leaves `$setup__script($scope)` in `$setup`. Mounted, three `?` presses take the read version's run counter from 1 to 4 and add three `document.addEventListener` calls; the write-only body and a `<lifecycle onMount>` rewrite stay at 1 with none.

# Scope `@catch` to errors thrown while rendering the `<try>` content

`docs/reference/core-tag.md` › ### `@catch` says "When a runtime error occurs in the content of the `<try>` or its `@placeholder` attribute tag, the content is replaced", which a reader takes to include the event handlers and effects written in that content. The runtime scopes it to the render path: marko `dom/catch.feat.ts` wraps `runRender` alone, with a comment recording that an error thrown from a `<script>` or `<lifecycle>` body deliberately escapes the flush, and `dom/event.ts` › `handleDelegated` invokes handlers bare. Clicking a `<button onClick() { throw new Error("event boom") }>` inside a `<try>` leaves `@catch` unrendered, leaves the sibling content in place and surfaces one uncaught page error; a `<script>` that throws behaves the same on its first mount and on an update, while a throw during render, initial or on update, and a rejected `<await>` are both caught. Restate the section as the positive rule, that `@catch` covers errors thrown while rendering the content including a rejected `<await>`, and point handler and effect errors at the ordinary window error path.

Preserve the @placeholder case in the proposed @catch rule.

The existing contract covers errors from both <try> content and the @placeholder attribute tag. The replacement wording mentions only content and rejected <await>. Include @placeholder and add a placeholder-render test so the documentation does not narrow the contract.

Every attribute on a `marko.json`-registered custom element goes through marko `packages/runtime-tags/src/dom/dom.ts` › `_attr`, which is `setAttribute(element, name, normalizeAttrValue(value))` with no `name in element` or `customElements.get` branch, and the translator special-cases controllable properties for input, select, textarea, details and dialog alone, so a same-named property setter on the element class is never called. The example under `docs/reference/typescript.md` › ### Registering a new native tag (e.g. for custom elements) reads the other way: it declares `class RangeSliderElement extends HTMLElement { value = 0 }` beside `<range-slider/sliderEl value=threshold step=5 .../>`, so the class field holds its initial value while `getAttribute("value")` tracks the binding, and the class declares no `observedAttributes`, so as printed nothing in it picks the attribute up. State the positive rule on that section and on `docs/reference/native-tag.md`, and show the element-reference idiom for writing a property, `<x-datepicker/picker value=newDate/>` with `picker().value = newDate` from a `<script>` body. `docs/guide/library-integration.md` › ### Consuming in Marko and ### Using Marko in a Web Component are empty headings and are the natural second home for it.

Check: `sed -n '/export function _attr(/,/^}/p' packages/runtime-tags/src/dom/dom.ts` in the marko checkout shows the `setAttribute` call as the whole body. In a `linked: false` Vite page with `marko.json` = `{"<x-datepicker>":{"html":true}}` and an `x-datepicker` class defining `static get observedAttributes(){return["value"]}` plus a counting `set value(v)` and `attributeChangedCallback`, rendering `<let/newDate="2025-06-15"/><x-datepicker value=newDate/>` and then reassigning `newDate` reports `{ propertySets: 0, attributeSets: 2, setterCalls: [] }` with `outerHTML` `<x-datepicker value="2026-01-01"></x-datepicker>`. Rendering the typescript.md example with its class registered leaves `el.value` at its class-field value while `el.getAttribute("value")` goes `20` then `42`.

🌐 Web query:

Verify that Element.setAttribute invokes attributeChangedCallback for observed custom-element attributes and that the callback can assign the corresponding property.

💡 Result:

Yes, Element.setAttribute invokes the attributeChangedCallback lifecycle callback for custom elements, provided that the attribute name is included in the element's static observedAttributes array [1][2][3]. When setAttribute is called, the browser checks if the attribute is in the observedAttributes list; if it is, the attributeChangedCallback is triggered [1][2]. This occurs whether the attribute is being added for the first time or its value is being updated (even if the value is technically the same) [4][1]. It is common practice for the attributeChangedCallback to assign the value to a corresponding property [2][3][5]. Developers typically implement this by using a class property setter that reflects the value back to the attribute, or by having the attributeChangedCallback update an internal property or state [2][3][5]. To prevent infinite loops when syncing properties and attributes, developers should include conditional checks to ensure the attribute or property is only updated if the new value differs from the current one [5][6]. Example of proper property-attribute synchronization: class MyElement extends HTMLElement { static get observedAttributes { return ['value']; } attributeChangedCallback(name, oldValue, newValue) { if (oldValue!== newValue) { this._value = newValue; // Sync property to attribute change } } get value { return this._value; } set value(val) { if (this.value!== val) { this.setAttribute('value', val); // Sync attribute to property change } } }

Limit the setter claim to Marko’s direct behavior.

setAttribute() does not assign the property directly. If the attribute is observed, attributeChangedCallback can run and assign the property. Replace “the setter ... is never called” with “Marko never assigns the property directly,” and mention this callback path.

`Template.mount` describes `node` as "a reference to the DOM node" and marko `packages/runtime-tags/index.d.ts` types it `reference: Node`, so a `ShadowRoot` or a `DocumentFragment` type-checks, while two deliberate runtime decisions make either target unusable. `dom/renderer.ts` hands the parent's `namespaceURI` to `dom/parse-html.ts` › `parseHTML`, which keys its cached `<template>` parser on it, so a namespace-less parent parses the markup as foreign content: `<button>` and `<input>` come back with `namespaceURI === null` and without their `HTMLElement` prototypes, `click` and `focus` are undefined, and the `<input>` is not a form control. Separately, `dom/event.ts` › `delegate` installs one capture listener on `document`, and a shadow tree's events are re-targeted to the host before they reach it, so `onClick` and `value:=` inside a shadow tree stay quiet. Both decisions carry a won't-fix comment in marko source and neither is stated on the site, so put the positive rule on the `Template.mount` section and under `docs/reference/native-tag.md` › #### Delegation: `mount` renders into an element, and a Marko island inside a web component attaches its own root element and mounts there.

Check: build a `linked: false` Vite page that mounts `<let/count=0/><let/text="a"/><button class="k49-btn" onClick(){count++}>clicked ${count}</button><input class="k49-input" value:=text><div class="k49-text">text=${text}</div>` into a light `<div>`, into `host.attachShadow({mode:"open"})` and into a `DocumentFragment` later appended to the document, then drive each with a real `page.mouse.click` and a composed `input` event. The light target reports `HTMLButtonElement`/`HTMLInputElement` and reaches `clicked 1` and `text=light-typed`; the shadow target reports `Element`/`Element`, serializes as `<input class="k49-input"></input>` and stays at `clicked 0` and `text=a` with an empty `pageErrors`; the appended fragment reaches `clicked 1` while keeping its null-namespace nodes. In the marko checkout `grep -rn -i shadow packages/runtime-tags/src/dom/` prints the two won't-fix comments, in `parse-html.ts` and `event.ts`.

Correct the DocumentFragment claim.

Line 10 says that both non-Element targets are unusable. Line 12 says that a button mounted into a DocumentFragment reaches clicked 1 after the fragment is appended. The fragment still has null-namespace elements, but the documented failure is not complete unusability. Separate the ShadowRoot event-delegation failure from the DocumentFragment namespace limitation.

Suggested wording
-# State that `Template.mount` renders into an element, not a ShadowRoot or DocumentFragment
+# Document that `Template.mount` requires an Element target; ShadowRoot and DocumentFragment have unsupported semantics

CSpell 10.1.1 custom dictionary words bare entries prefix matching documentation

💡 Result:

In CSpell, "bare entries" in a custom dictionary file are treated as standard, standalone words that must match the entry exactly to be considered correct [1][2]. They do not support prefix matching or partial word matching by default [1][3]. To achieve prefix or compounding behaviors, CSpell uses specific symbols attached to the dictionary entries [2][3]: * - Optional Compound: A word ending in * can be suffixed with other words, and a word starting with * can be prefixed [2]. This allows the word to stand alone or be part of a compound [2][4]. + - Required Compound: A word ending in + must be followed by another word, and a word starting with + must be preceded by another word [2]. Such words cannot stand alone [2][3]. For example, with entries error* and *code, CSpell accepts error, code, and errorcode [2]. If you use +msg, the word msg is invalid on its own and must be part of a compound like errormsg [2][3]. Note that CSpell does not support arbitrary prefix matching (e.g., using a stem to match any arbitrary suffix) [4]. Compounding behavior is restricted to words explicitly defined to participate in compounding within the dictionary system [2][4]. Dictionary entries are plain text files with one word per line [5], and entries containing special characters like _, -, 0-9, and ' are treated as literal strings [1][3].

Remove entit and escap from cspell.json.

CSpell 10.1.1 accepts both exact tokens as standalone dictionary words, so these incomplete spellings bypass spell checking. Replace them with complete terms if required.
