Generative UI (Streamed React Components)

Modern AI full-stack applications stream interactive React components directly from the server rather than static text. When an agent invokes a tool (e.g. `renderStockChart`), the client dynamically streams a verified interactive visualization component into the chat stream.

Optimistic State Updates

To keep interfaces responsive, update frontend chat state optimistically before network verification, handling rollbacks and error retries seamlessly if an upstream endpoint throws a rate-limit exception.
