Quite happy with how the page/component lifecycle log messages are coming along as part of my push to get the new stateful components over the line in Kitten¹.
This should make it very easy to ensure that things are happening as you think they are and to conceptualise the behaviour of your stateful component hierarchies. (You can also use stateless components, of course, as is the currently documented workflow.)

Terminal output showing the Kitten startup banner after running kitten in gaza-verified.org/site. A cartoon white kitten sits on grass under a blue sky, followed by metadata: "Kitten by Aral Balkan, Small Technology Foundation", Version 0-2beaa1-24.14.1-20260506140737, Born 2026/05/06 at 14:07:37 UTC (Taurus), Favourite colour #2beaa1 (green swatch), API version 0, Runtime Node.js 24.14.1. A boxed message reads "Like this? Fund us! We're a tiny, independent not-for-profit. https://small-tech.org/fund-us", with links to Tutorials, Reference and Issues. Three sparkle lines confirm module dependencies are unchanged for /app_modules/components, /app_modules/database and the root module. A "Key" box lists the icons used in Kitten's output:

Two HTML validation failures are logged: 3 errors on /admin/accounts.page.ts and 1 error on /admin/index.page.js, both pointing to the browser console for details.

Lucy found a new hidey-hole with clean laundry to sleep in/on. Good times. 😁

One of the beautiful things about Sublime Merge¹ (and git/diffs) is that you can see exactly what has changed in complex expected values in tests to ensure that you’re updating the tests without overlooking regressions.
(This is from the Markdown page loader tests in Kitten², as I’m refactoring to implement the upcoming breaking change in the stateful components API³ as it affects the generated code for stateful layout components in Markdown pages.)
¹ Which I always have running, full-screen on its own monitor.
² kitten.small-web.org
³ Currently experimental and undocumented but that should change once this breaking change is implemented.
