/**
 * EXPERIMENTAL
 *
 * Element Call as a React component, for an application that wants to show a
 * call inside itself rather than in an iframe.
 *
 * The host supplies the client and says which room to call in; Element Call
 * supplies the call. Everything it would otherwise take from the page it is on
 * — the URL, the document body, a Matrix session of its own — comes from the
 * host instead, or is confined to the container it is mounted in.
 */

// The design tokens, fonts and element defaults every Element Call stylesheet
// builds on. Written for a page, they speak of `html`, `body` and bare
// elements; the component build confines them, and every other stylesheet in
// this bundle, to the root element below (see build/scopeStylesToRoot.ts), so
// that the host's document is left as it was.
//
// Where these land relative to the component stylesheets is the bundler's
// choice — the standalone app puts them first, this build puts them in the
// middle — so nothing in base.css may depend on winning or losing against a
// component's own rules at equal specificity. It currently does not: what it
// declares unlayered is custom properties on Element Call's root, which
// components inherit rather than compete with, and everything from Compound
// sits in a `@layer`, which loses to unlayered rules either way.
