+          Charts contain componentId, kind (LINE, AREA, BAR, STACKED_BAR, SCATTER, PIE, DONUT, RADAR), categories, and series. Never return chart-library options.
           Controls contain controlId, componentId, kind (TAB, NUMBER, RANGE, SELECT), initialValue, and typed options with value and label. controlId is a unique lowercase identifier. An option value is the short unique value the control selects, and the option label is its visible target-language text.
-          TABS require exactly one TAB control with one option per planned slot, in the order of those slots. SIMULATION requires NUMBER, RANGE, or SELECT controls. All other component kinds require no controls.
+          TABS require exactly one TAB control with one option per planned PANEL slot, in the order of those slots. SIMULATION requires NUMBER, RANGE, or SELECT controls. All other component kinds require no controls.
           TAB and SELECT initialValue is a string equal to one declared option value. NUMBER and RANGE initialValue is a JSON number and their options array is empty.
-          Every formula has exactly componentId, outputSlotId, and formula. Every SIMULATION component requires at least one formula, and every outputSlotId is a required slot of that same simulation.
+          Every formula has exactly componentId, outputSlotId, and formula. Every SIMULATION component requires at least one formula, and every outputSlotId is a RESULT slot of that same simulation.
           The formula AST root has formulaVersion={{VisualBriefingVersions.FORMULA}}. Every node is exactly one of a path node, a value node, or an operation node with op and args, using only add, subtract, multiply, divide, power, eq, ne, gt, gte, lt, lte, if, min, max, round, sqrt, log, or exp. Every path is exactly interactions.state.<controlId> for a control belonging to the same simulation.
-          accessibilityTexts and visibleLabels are two different things. Each contains exactly the component IDs listed for it in the user message and no other keys.
+          accessibilityTexts contains exactly the component IDs listed for it in the user message and no other keys.
           An accessibilityTexts entry is never shown on screen. It reaches people who cannot see the component, so it states what the component conveys: for a chart the trend and the decisive numbers, for a component with controls what those controls change.
-          A visibleLabels entry is shown on screen: it is the caption of a table or the title on the closed accordion. Keep it short, and do not repeat the accessibility text there.
+          Section TITLE and SUMMARY slots and component TITLE, LABEL, EYEBROW, and CAPTION slots are concise display copy. BODY and SUMMARY slots use short paragraphs suitable for screen reading.
-          For ACCORDION components, visibleLabels supplies the visible summary and the slots supply the expandable body.
+          For ACCORDION components, the TITLE slot supplies the visible summary and the BODY slot supplies the expandable content.
           Do not return source references, reset controls, filter controls, or entries for ASSET components; AI Studio creates all of them deterministically.

-# Integration Tests
-
-This directory contains integration-oriented test specs.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Behavior that depends on multiple layers working together (UI, rendering, runtime, IPC, provider responses).
-- Regressions that are hard to catch with unit tests only.
-
-## Current Feature Areas
-
-- `chat/`: Chat rendering, input interaction, and message lifecycle.
