Keep YAML token values and Markdown rationale aligned; use it as project context, not as a component registry.

## Verification boundary
This is a source-level research record, not an item-level audit. Registry counts may include examples, variants and paid content. Inspect the exact upstream files, license, dependencies and framework version before installation. No upstream code is mirrored here. The visual on Form Atlas is an original illustrative sample, not an upstream screenshot.
