Widget Platform Reference

A reference for working inside an Invent widget repo — what the files are, how to configure the widget, how it plugs into the dashboard, how to lay out and test it, and the platform APIs (httpClient, notifications, React Query, OAuth, state sharing, WebSocket, extensions) you'll call from inside it.

This guide assumes you've already scaffolded a widget using the AI Quickstart. It doesn't cover creating the widget (the create-invent-widget skill does that), running it locally (see Running & Versioning), or shipping changes (see Creating an MR).
