    Chat demo — a compact, self-contained messaging panel. A card frames a header
    (avatar, title and a live status dot), the conversation (delegated to the
    chat-thread primitive, which renders each turn as a sided bubble) and a static
    composer. Presentational only: wire the input/send action in your own app.

# Brok UI block: Chat Demo (`chat-demo`)

A compact chat panel: a card with an avatar/status header, a sided-bubble conversation (via chat-thread) and a static composer.

Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.

## Install

```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/chat-demo
```

## Render it

```blade
<x-blocks.chat-demo />
```

## Props

- `title` (string, default `Support`)
- `status` (string, default `Online`)
- `avatar` (mixed|null, default `null`)
- `messages` (mixed|null, default `null`)
- `placeholder` (string, default `Type a message…`)

## Use when

- Showing a compact, static chat panel with an avatar/status header and a sided-bubble conversation for a marketing or docs page.
- Composing the chat-thread primitive with a static composer rather than a live, typable input.

## Avoid when

- Use chat-list for a filterable conversation inbox, or ai-tools-chat for a fuller AI chat panel with a model selector.

## Rules

- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.chat-demo />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Guidance

Use when

Showing a compact, static chat panel with an avatar/status header and a sided-bubble conversation for a marketing or docs page.
Composing the chat-thread primitive with a static composer rather than a live, typable input.

Avoid when

Use chat-list for a filterable conversation inbox, or ai-tools-chat for a fuller AI chat panel with a model selector.

Anti-patterns

Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.

Usage

Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php Blade

<x-blocks.chat-demo />

Built from primitives

Composes <brok:*> Semantic tokens Re-themeable RTL-ready

This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
