Slot Layout
Fix the frame once and inject varying pages through slots like sidebar, body, or log panels.
Core Idea
A slot layout defines structural regions in a component such as sidebar, main, or bottom-panel. Consumers pass fragments into those slots, so the chrome stays consistent while the inner content changes. This keeps navigation, context, and keyboard order predictable while letting feature teams iterate on the panels independently.
Why It Matters Here
The Mathbong dashboard combines progressive enhancement with slot layouts to ensure the sidebar, cards, and logs load together. Because the shell never re-renders, form actions and optimistic toggles can refresh data without jarring layout shifts, making the /dashboard checkpoint feel like a cohesive app.
