Widget Stability

Rezi uses stability tiers so teams can choose widgets with clear behavior guarantees.

Tiers

stable: strongest widget tier inside the current pre-alpha line; documented behavior contracts and deterministic tests exist, and maintainers aim to avoid unnecessary breaking changes.
beta: usable and tested for core invariants, but parts of the contract can still evolve.
experimental: no compatibility guarantees; behavior and APIs can change quickly.

When a widget is marked stable, Rezi guarantees:

deterministic behavior for documented keyboard, pointer, and editing contracts
deterministic regression tests that pin those contracts in packages/core/src/**/__tests__
clear changelog callouts when documented stable behavior changes
stronger compatibility expectations than beta / experimental, while the repo-wide pre-alpha status still applies to the package line as a whole

These widgets are the EPIC-04 hardening targets and are currently stable.

Widget	Tier	Contract coverage
Input	`stable`	Cursor/edit/paste/focus-capture contract tests in `packages/core/src/runtime/__tests__/inputEditor.contract.test.ts`
Table	`stable`	Selection/column-width/viewport/row-key tests in `packages/core/src/widgets/__tests__/table.golden.test.ts` and `packages/core/src/app/__tests__/table.renderCache.test.ts`
Virtual List	`stable`	Visible-range/overscan/scroll-clamp/navigation tests in `packages/core/src/widgets/__tests__/virtualList.contract.test.ts`
Command Palette	`stable`	Async fetch ordering/stale-cancel/query/nav/escape tests in `packages/core/src/app/__tests__/commandPaletteRouting.test.ts` and `packages/core/src/widgets/__tests__/commandPalette.test.ts`
File Picker	`stable`	Expand/collapse/selection/open/toggle contracts in `packages/core/src/app/__tests__/filePickerRouting.contracts.test.ts`
File Tree Explorer	`stable`	Focus/activation/toggle/context-menu contracts in `packages/core/src/app/__tests__/fileTreeExplorer.contextMenu.test.ts`

The full catalog is tiered below. stable is intentionally conservative and reserved for widgets with hardened behavior contracts.
