Required package metadata, audited 2026-10-19:

Package	Version	Published peers
chartist	2.1.0	None declared; runtime compatibility still needs checking.

These are published peer ranges, not proof that a given combination builds in a consumer. Preserve units, missing-data behavior, readable labels and a keyboard/nonvisual alternative. Cancel simulations, animation loops, observers and subscriptions on unmount. Renderer tags describe library capabilities; individual examples can use a subset or require additional adapters.

Verification and previews

Package names, free license metadata and public reference URLs were checked on 2026-10-19. This is not fresh-project runtime, browser, accessibility or performance verification of the upstream libraries. Local preview adapters are not added by this ingestion. External examples remain on their source sites; docs are not automatically embedded and no package is installed into the catalog app or consumer setup.
