- **`data-*` attributes** — not part of a component's typed props, so excess-property-checked out of a `withProps` literal. Pass at the call site.
- **Anything that isn't a Mantine factory component** — a `react-icons` glyph, another library's component, or a first-party plain `export function`.

### State and effects

- **Never reset or re-sync local state from a prop inside a `useEffect`.** `useEffect(() => setX(prop), [prop])` paints the stale value first and renders twice; it is an error under `react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`.
- Use **`useValueChange(value, onChange)`** (`src/hooks/useValueChange.ts`) — React's documented "adjusting state during render" pattern. It does not fire on the first render; seed the state with `useState`. The comparison is `Object.is`, so pass a **referentially stable** value — a primitive key (id/name/URI) or a memoized one, never a fresh object literal.
- Effects remain correct for real external-system synchronization (DOM measurement, rAF, subscriptions, timers).

### Theme files vs. element components

Both exist and do different jobs. Theme files (`src/theme/<Component>.ts`) customize a Mantine primitive **app-wide**. Element components (`src/components/elements/`) add **domain semantics** on top of primitives.

- State and effects
- **NEVER reset or re-sync local state from a prop inside a `useEffect`.** `useEffect(() => setX(prop), [prop])` renders once with the stale value, paints it, and only then corrects itself — the user sees the wrong frame and React renders twice. It is an error under `react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`, which the web client's `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` recommended set enforces.
- Use **`useValueChange(value, onChange)`** (`clients/web/src/hooks/useValueChange.ts`) instead. It is React's documented ["adjusting state during render"](https://react.dev/reference/react/useState#storing-information-from-previous-renders) pattern: it compares `value` against the previous render's with `Object.is` and calls `onChange(next)` during render, so React discards the in-progress output and re-runs the component before anything reaches the DOM. It does **not** fire on the first render — seed the dependent state with `useState` instead. Because the comparison is `Object.is`, the value you pass **must be referentially stable** across renders that mean "no change": prefer a primitive key derived from the data (an id, a name, a URI), and otherwise a memoized value. A fresh object/array literal would compare unequal every render and loop.
- An effect is still the right tool for genuine synchronization with an external system (DOM measurement, `requestAnimationFrame`, subscriptions, timers). The rule is about deriving React state from React props, not about effects in general.
- Theme files vs. Storybook element components
- **Theme files** (`src/theme/<Component>.ts`) and **element components** (`src/components/elements/`) serve different purposes and both are needed.
- Theme files customize every instance of a Mantine component app-wide — defaults (size, radius), custom variants, and global style overrides. They are applied automatically by `MantineProvider`.
