+ * One frame on the board: a cross-origin iframe hosting the runner
+ * adapter's origin (ADR-028). The frame speaks the canvas protocol through
+ * `createCanvasClient` — `targetOrigin` pinned both directions — and:
+ *
+ *   - waits for `runtime.ready` before requesting anything (queue-drain,
+ *     spec §9), showing an explicit "Starting preview…" skeleton until then
+ *     (never presented as the real render);
+ *   - then asks the adapter to render a single Element — the discovered
+ *     component with default props — via `render-frame`
+ *     (`@repo/core-runner-protocol` schema) and requests geometry;
+ *   - keeps agent-reported geometry as frame-local state (the store holds
+ *     registry + selection ONLY) and feeds click-target reports into the
+ *     store's selection;
+ *   - renders the selection ring as an editor-side overlay from that
+ *     reported geometry.
+ *
+ * Dragging the frame only rerenders with a new position — the canvas
+ * client is keyed on `adapterOrigin`/`componentId`, so drag/pan/zoom
+ * produce zero protocol round-trips (<16 ms/frame budget, ADR-028).
+ * Only the name tab (`.frame-drag-handle`) drags, so pointer events inside
+ * the iframe stay with the customer's document.
