overview

Box Factory provides architectural guidance to select the appropriate component type based on your use case. The overview maps core patterns—isolation, delegation, and progressive disclosure—to help you decide between component types for scenarios like delegation, isolation, multi-component workflows, and cross-component references.

Box Factory architecture centers on three core patterns: isolation (keeping components independent), delegation (return-based component interaction), and progressive disclosure (revealing complexity gradually). These patterns guide decisions about how components interact and share knowledge.

Use isolation when components must remain independent and avoid tight coupling. Use delegation when components need to coordinate work through return-based patterns. The overview helps you evaluate which approach fits your workflow, whether multi-component or cross-component references are needed.

Component type selection directly impacts isolation strength and knowledge boundaries. The overview ensures your chosen component type maintains proper isolation, supports return-based delegation, and enables knowledge delta filtering so components share only necessary information.

When building multi-component workflows, consider isolation boundaries, delegation patterns between components, and progressive disclosure of complexity. The architecture overview guides these structural decisions to ensure components interact cohesively without violating isolation constraints.
