Current synthesis from the research packet. Exact records and complete source artifacts remain visible below.
Define the editable surface and change taxonomy; prototype replace/add/remove/theme/text operations without arbitrary repo edits.

Persisting typed edit intent against semantic anchors means an edit survives an upgrade or refuses out loud, and no version history is needed to undo damage that was never done.

| 2 | Lovable Visual Editsai_app_builder | Compile-time stable component IDs injected by a Vite plugin let visual edits map deterministically back to specific JSX nodes, and saves emit line-scoped diffs rather than regenerating files. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |

| 3 | Plasmicvisual_cms_page_builder | Codegen splits generated files into Plasmic-owned and developer-owned, so 'plasmic sync' overwrites only the former and developer edits survive design updates by construction. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |
| 4 | Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme editorcommerce_theme_editor | JSON templates separate merchant section/settings data from theme code, so add/remove/reorder of sections on any page is a data edit rather than a code edit. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |
| — | Shopify theme update settings-wipe incident (Mar 2026)production_evidence | Since approximately 20 March 2026, Shopify theme updates were reported to wipe global customizations including logos and settings — i.e. the layer that is architecturally supposed to survive an upgrade did not. | secondarycensus | Source ↗ |

| 7 | Microsoft Power Apps / Dataverse solution layeringenterprise_low_code | Customizations resolve through an explicit layer stack: a single unmanaged layer sits above ordered managed layers, and removing a layer reveals the one beneath rather than losing the base. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |
| 9 | WordPress Gutenberg block locking + theme.jsoncms_visual_editing | Splits governance across two mechanisms that do not compose: theme.json constrains available style values, block locking constrains structural moves, and neither can do the other's job. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |
| 8 | Webflow components, properties and variablesvisual_site_builder | Designers define a component's editable surface as explicit properties, and role separation lets Marketers compose only from those properties while Reviewers cannot edit at all. | first_party_docstop10 | Source ↗ |

| — | Idempotent edit application— | Every operation carries an idempotency key | first_party_docsregister | — |

| — | Voice/async edit intake— | Same operation algebra reachable asynchronously | secondaryregister | — |
| — | Non-destructive style re-pick— | Theme is a re-attachable versioned link; swapping preserves structure edits | first_party_docsregister | — |

| — | Edit-time capability search— | Add operation queries the registry with port filters inline | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Client authority ceiling on edits— | Edit surface derives from the session authority ceiling | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Role-scoped edit surfaces— | Different roles see different subsets of the algebra | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Approval required for irreversible edits— | Irreversible class requires explicit confirmation bound to the plan hash | inferenceregister | — |
| — | No policy authoring from the editor— | Policy/permission edits are structurally absent from the algebra | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Edits never widen tenant scope— | Composition scope is intersection, never union; edits cannot widen it | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Secrets never enter the edit surface— | Secret references only; never values | first_party_docsregister | — |

| — | Preview isolation per client— | Preview runs in the tenant's isolation boundary | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Preview data is synthetic by default— | Synthetic fixtures unless explicitly authorised | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Preview lease with cleanup— | Leased with timeout and deterministic teardown | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Warm preview pool— | Pre-warmed sandboxes; memory-preserving pause | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | Preview URL is unguessable and expiring— | Signed, short-lived preview URLs | inferenceregister | — |
| — | Deterministic preview builds— | Pinned toolchain and lockfile | first_party_docsregister | — |

| — | Editor as the only mutation path— | All changes flow through the operation log, including agent and upgrade changes | inferenceregister | — |
| — | REJECTED: free-form code editing in the client editor— | Explicitly out of scope; escape hatch is a state transition instead | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | REJECTED: DOM-coordinate edit binding— | Superseded by stable semantic anchors | observed_behaviorregister | — |
| — | REJECTED: averaging an edit-quality score— | Min-gating instead | first_party_docsregister | — |
| — | REJECTED: automated visual pass/fail gate— | Human-terminal visual gate, honestly labelled | first_party_docsregister | — |
