…decorator chain) New advanced-customization explainer for the React UI Kit: the DataSource decorator chain (why append-not-replace), the category_type template map, and the event bus that stitches components together — the four 'stitch layers' of a working chat surface, plus a cross-platform mechanism table. Added to the React > Guides nav group. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds a new advanced-customization guide to the React UI Kit > Guides section: Customization Architecture: the DataSource Decorator Chain.
It explains the mental model behind UI Kit customization:
MessagesDataSource→DataSourceDecorator→ChatConfigurator) and why you append, not replace.category_typetemplate map that renders each message into a bubble (the custom-message contract).cc*UI-Kit-emitted vson*SDK pass-through) that decouples the components.Why
The decorator chain is the single most load-bearing concept for advanced customization, and the #1 source of 'my defaults disappeared' confusion (replacing instead of merging). This page gives developers the model in one place.
