Queued does not mean reviewed. Bibliography and hashes live in each workspace's
source artifact and manifest. [Preparation review](../reviews/SchemaAndSourcePreparation.md)
records selection, provenance limits and remaining work. Claim IDs will resolve
inside completed source reviews; preparation packets do not establish a pattern.

## Source families to investigate

| Family | Representative sources | Research purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Pattern languages | Christopher Alexander, Hillside/PLoP literature | Pattern form, relations, generative sequences |
| GUI architecture | Martin Fowler, MVC/MVP/Presentation Model | Presentation/domain/state separation |
| Unidirectional state | Flux, Redux, Elm | State transition and dependency direction |
| Hypermedia | REST, HTML forms, HTMX | Navigation, mutation, server projection |
| Rendering | web.dev, framework docs, Patterns.dev | CSR/SSR/SSG/hydration/islands/streaming |
| Local-first | Ink & Switch and related work | Local authority, sync, conflict handling |
| Distributed state | CRDT/event sourcing/sync literature | Reconciliation and replication |
| Modularity | Feature-Sliced Design | Feature boundaries and dependency rules |
| Organizational architecture | Microfrontend literature | Independent ownership/deployment |
| Quality | WCAG, progressive enhancement, web performance | Cross-cutting architectural forces |

## Catalog policy

Each source should eventually capture:

- source identity,
- date/version,
- scope,
- vocabulary used,
- candidate patterns,
- dominant forces,
- assumptions,
- contradictions,
- known implementations,
- evidence quality.


2026-09-24: initial authority-focused reviews are recorded as extracted. They have
not passed a full-source or independent review gate. Live calls failed before any
artifact generation. See [AuthorityPilot](../reviews/AuthorityPilot.md) for findings,
execution evidence and limitations.


2026-09-25: local-first `-06` completed after replacing padded claim tables with
compact records. Its bounded negative result does not complete full-source review.
Source state remains extracted; recurrence and independent implementations remain open.

## Pinned frontend implementations — 2026-09-25

SRC-0013 Zulip, SRC-0014 Element Web, SRC-0015 Matrix JS SDK and SRC-0016 Matrix
client-server specification v1.15 are inspected in the
[frontend recovery review](../reviews/FrontendRecoveryImplementations.md).
The [manifest](../reviews/FrontendRecoverySources.json) records exact revisions,
file URLs and SHA-256 hashes. State: bounded static review; no runtime validation.
Element and its SDK are one implementation family. Complete-pattern recurrence
remains unproven despite two partial draft-preservation uses.

## Executable SDK follow-up — 2026-09-25

SRC-0017: published matrix-js-sdk 42.3.0; npm archive and integrity recorded in
[experiment provenance](../experiments/matrix-recovery/provenance.json). State:
executed under controlled synthetic transport. Four cases pass; server guarantees
remain assumptions. This is the SRC-0014/0015 implementation family, not another
independent application. [Review](../reviews/MatrixRecoveryExperiment.md).

## Navigation/rendering documents — 2026-09-26

| ID | Primary source | Scope / state |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SRC-0018 | [htmx documentation](https://htmx.org/docs/) | History and representation caching; bounded documentary review |
| SRC-0019 | [htmx hx-boost](https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-boost/) | Native link/form enhancement; same publisher family as SRC-0018 |
| SRC-0020 | [SvelteKit form actions](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/form-actions) | Native forms and scoped use:enhance contract |
| SRC-0021 | [SvelteKit page options](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/page-options) | Initial HTML and optional client execution; same family as SRC-0020 |
| SRC-0022 | [MDN History.pushState](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History/pushState) | Browser history API; not an application known use |

Living pages accessed 2026-09-26, exact revisions unknown; no runtime checks.
[Claim locators, dispositions and limits](../reviews/NavigationRenderingEvidence.md).

## Presentation, composition and quality expansion — 2026-09-26

| ID | Primary source | Scope / revision |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SRC-0023 | [Fowler: Presentation Model](https://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/PresentationModel.html) | 2004-07-19 historical draft; presentation/view synchronization |
| SRC-0024 | [Redux: Deriving Data with Selectors](https://redux.js.org/usage/deriving-data-selectors) | Minimal stored state and computed views |
| SRC-0025 | [FSD slices/segments](https://github.com/feature-sliced/documentation/blob/6691676119fc998b6d58a2b32582c0074a072f2d/src/content/docs/docs/reference/slices-segments.mdx) | Pinned revision 6691676119fc998b6d58a2b32582c0074a072f2d; product grouping and public interfaces |
| SRC-0026 | [Astro islands](https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/) | Client activation boundaries |
| SRC-0027 | [React Component](https://react.dev/reference/react/Component#catching-rendering-errors-with-an-error-boundary) | Rendering-error fallback and exclusions |
| SRC-0028 | [WAI APG modal dialog](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/dialog-modal/) | Focus entry/return and exceptions |

All accessed 2026-09-26; exact revisions unknown unless stated. Bounded documentary
review, no runtime or deployment validation. [Claims B01–B06 and dispositions](../reviews/PatternBreadthExpansion.md).
These sources address different mechanisms and do not establish independent
recurrence of any one complete candidate.

## Browser boundary execution — 2026-09-26

SRC-0029: React 19.3.0 / React DOM 19.3.0 and Radix Dialog 1.1.23, with pinned
transitive dependencies and inspected published modules. [Provenance](../experiments/boundary-recovery/provenance.json)
and lockfile identify archives/integrity; synthetic Chromium fixture, not a deployed
application. One mechanism study, not independent full-pattern recurrence.

SRC-0030: [Radix Dialog documentation](https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives/docs/components/dialog),
Content API and keyboard interaction; living page accessed 2026-09-26, revision
unknown. Displayed documentation version differs from executed package; runtime
claims use the pinned archive, not an assumption that the page exactly matches it.
[Results and limits](../reviews/BoundaryRecoveryExperiment.md).

SRC-0029 follow-up: [nested dismissal isolation](../reviews/NestedDismissalIsolation.md)
reuses the same pinned packages across two browsers/build modes. Instrumented and
experimentally modified bundles are explicitly separated from the unmodified control;
this is additional evidence from the same family, not a new independent use.
