Knowledge boundary
- Source: content/projects/design-library/hypothesis-registry/web-component-framework-hypothesis-registry-v1.md
- Status: verified
- Discipline: Engineering
- Confidence: stated in source; mixed
- Primary objective: authors: - OpenAI Codex concepts: - component-architecture - interoperability related documents: - content/projects/design-library/research-execution-package/rep-wc-0001-cross-project-web-component-framework.md tags: - hypotheses - web-components keywords: - lit - shadow dom - storybook purposes: - verify - reference audiences: - researcher
- Primary claims/evidence: ID Status Confidence after Architectural consequence --- --- --- --- HY-WC-001 Supported High Use native Web Components as one cross-project boundary, not the only reuse boundary. HY-WC-002 Partially supported Medium Lit is the preferred authoring default for bounded interactive components, not for every package. HY-WC-003 Supported High Mixed implementation strategy is acceptable when the public contract and metadata remain uniform. HY-WC-004 Partially supported Medium-high Shadow DOM is the d…
- Methodology: - Rejected stronger form of HY-WC-002: - Lit is not the right default for layout and content-oriented packages. - Rejected stronger form of HY-WC-004: - Shadow DOM should not be universal. - Weakened HY-WC-008: - Framework wrappers are helpful but should not define the core contract. - Weakened HY-WC-015: - Independent versions reduce churn only if release automation, compatibility testing, and docs are mature.
- Limitations/known uncertainties: Not explicitly labeled; the frontier records below treat missing replication, boundary, measurement, transfer, and benchmark evidence as unresolved.

Challenge and confidence decay
The source was challenged for construct validity, independent replication, boundary conditions, transfer, and comparative baselines. Confidence should decay when the source lacks a dated replication, when its technology or target population changes, or when later artifacts report contradictory findings. Revalidation is recommended before treating context-bound recommendations as universal.
