Modules

ascent is a multi-module toolkit. Most apps need only a few artifacts; others are plumbing published so consumers resolve transitively.

App-facing

Artifact	Use when
`ascent-core`	Always: Squawk, UI AST, DSL
`ascent-js`	Browser mount / binding
`ascent-css`	Typed CSS-in-Scala
`ascent-conduit`	Optional conduit `Ctx[M]`
`ascent-html`	SSR string renderer
`ascent-datastar`	Datastar protocol + SignalStore
`ascent-datastar-js`	Browser datastar runtime
`ascent-datastar-http`	zio-http datastar server bridge
`ascent-preview`	Local static serve + SSE tab reload. See Preview.
`ascent-chekhov`	Typed Chekhov locators: JSEnv live handles + JVM `Page` selectors
`sbt-ascent-preview`	`enablePlugins(AscentPreviewPlugin)` then `sbt ~<module>/ascentPreview`

Internals (transitive)

ascent-dom-types, ascent-dom-facade, ascent-dom-core, and ascent-mount-engine are engine internals. Depend on them only if you are extending the platform; ordinary apps get them transitively.

domgen: JVM generator; never a runtime dep
example/*: splice + preview apps (todo-conduit, datastar-app, hybrid-chat)
