# TDATLanguageManager Phase 8 Component Integration Report

Completion date: August 8, 2026

## Outcome

Phase 8 is complete. The Studio now defaults to **Component Integration
(Recommended)**. This mode generates a complete setup kit under the Studio's
`export\component-integration` folder and never opens the selected target
project for writing.

The former automatic source integration remains available as **Automatic
Source Integration (Advanced)**. Its backed-up, transactional preview/apply
workflow was retained for projects where component integration is unsuitable.

## Generated component kit

For the detected framework, the kit contains:

- Validated translated JSON packs plus an automatically generated English pack.
- The framework-neutral runtime and component source units.
- The applicable VCL or FMX manager and optional language-selector source.
- `component-integration.json`, containing application identity, framework,
  component classes, language metadata, and scanner form roots.
- `README.txt`, with ordered Object Inspector and deployment instructions.
- `Deploy-LanguagePacks.ps1`, which copies only JSON packs beside a selected
  built executable.

The developer installs the applicable design package, places one manager on the
primary form, sets `ApplicationId`, and optionally places the matching language
combo box. Ordinary forms require no component.

## Studio user interface

The integration method is a designer-authored combo box. Component Integration
is the first and default list choice. In that mode, source mutation,
authorization, restore, and automatic target-build controls are hidden. The
plan and generated-file panes show the setup steps and allow every generated
text file to be inspected. All controls remain editable in the FMX Form
Designer.

## Non-mutation proof

Foundation tests generated VCL and FMX component kits from the repository's
sample applications. Before and after generation, SHA-256 hashes were compared
for each `.dproj` and primary `.dfm`/`.fmx` file. Every hash remained identical.
The generator receives no target-write API and writes only below its explicit
Studio export root.

## Validation

- Studio Win32 Debug build: passed.
- Studio Win64 Debug build: passed.
- Win32 and Win64 FMX form creation/streaming tests: passed.
- Win32 and Win64 Studio launch smoke tests: passed.
- Win32 and Win64 foundation/runtime/integration regression suites: passed.
- VCL and FMX kit content and non-mutation assertions: passed.

The temporary component-kit test output was removed after validation. Existing
user working files under `export\integration` were not changed.
