Server exchange

This Hyperpart has no server exchange — it is presentation or client chrome only. htmx does not issue a request on this part's behalf. If you put an affordance (hx-*) on a control that uses this markup, that action's exchange belongs to the action, not this part. See Swap contract for host-owned envelopes.

Swap contract

Agent-visible HTMX topology (ADR-0054 / decision 0012). exchange envelope = what the response may re-emit relative to the persistent slot (body_only | outer | none | host_owned | document). dual-lock validates part markup only — not this envelope. Stem: stems/morph-safe-hypermedia.md; decision: docs/decisions/0012-swap-identity-contract.md.

No host HTMX exchange on this part — presentation or client chrome only. exchange envelope: n/a.

If a host wraps this markup in hx-*, that host owns the swap contract (sole identity + envelope). Prefer innerMorph / outerMorph for stable slots; replacement for flash; body-only responses under inner swaps.

Envelope response examples

This part has no owned exchange (envelope n/a). If a host adds hx-*, that host’s envelope applies — typically body_only:

html
<!-- Host wraps this presentation part with hx-* (host owns envelope) -->
<!-- Prefer: hx-swap="innerMorph" hx-target="#panel-body" -->
<!-- Server returns body_only interior for #panel-body -->
<div class="dz-stack">content…</div>

Do not re-own the slot:

html
<!-- WRONG: server returns the presentation root with a new id every poll -->
<div id="controls-root" data-dz-region>…</div>

How to use it

No extended guidance authored yet — start from Copy this and the dependency chips (Primitive = markup only; controller = load listed JS; Endpoint = implement Server exchange).

Seams

  • copy the partial under Copy this; keep root class and data-* modifiers so the CSS/JS bundle matches
  • no Server exchange on this part — pure presentation or client chrome
  • satisfy the DOM contract tables (CI stop-ship)

DOM contract

2 dual-lock modules for this part (contracts/controls.py, contracts/switch.py). Read top-to-bottom: core root first, then extensions. Each Exemplar render() live box is CI fixture output for that module — not a second demo of the whole Hyperpart. What the tables require is the emitted HTML; Python under contracts/ is package-internal dual-lock (not an app route). Request/response wiring: Server exchange.

contracts/controls.py

Required in the DOM: root .checkbox, .radio, .switch (part controls). Emit only these attributes — inventing extras is fine only if controllers ignore them; omitting required ones fails CI (tests/test_contracts.py).

NodeAttrConstraint
.checkbox, .radio, .switch——

Module source

Import path is monorepo/package-local (from contracts._kit import …). Source-token form often uses data-*; gallery demos above are unprefixed. Do not copy this into app routes.

python
"""HYPERPART: controls — selection controls (checkbox / radio / switch).

Dual-lock unit is the designed native-input family. Label chrome is host-owned.
Classes ``.dz-checkbox``, ``.dz-radio``, and ``.dz-switch`` are the stable
substrate roots (gallery partial; no FragmentRenderer emit yet). Switch also
has a dedicated contracts/switch.py for data-dz-switch progressive enhancement.

    nodes=(Node(".dz-checkbox, .dz-radio, .dz-switch", attrs={}),),
)

__all__ = ["DOM_CONTRACT"]

contracts/switch.py

Required in the DOM: root [data-switch] (part switch). Emit only these attributes — inventing extras is fine only if controllers ignore them; omitting required ones fails CI (tests/test_contracts.py).

Notes

Dual-lock roots .checkbox / .radio / .switch (HMC-150). Switch also dual-locks via contracts/switch.py ([data-switch]).
