🎨 Key Innovations in the Plan

1. Module Placement Metadata Schema ⭐ NEW

interface ModuleManifest {
  placement?: {
    preferredLocation?: 'header' | 'sidebar' | 'content' | 'footer';
    defaultGridArea?: { row: string; column: string; };
    autoSize?: boolean;
    minWidth?: string;
    minHeight?: string;
    responsive?: { mobile?: ...; tablet?: ...; };
  };
}

Why Critical: This solves the structural module placement problem. Modules now know where they belong in the grid.

2. ModulePlacementService Design ⭐ NEW

Intelligent service that:

3. Responsive-Aware Updates (Webflow-style)

updateSectionResponsive(
  sectionId: string,
  updates: Partial<Section>,
  viewport: 'desktop' | 'tablet' | 'mobile'
): void

Updates either base properties (desktop) or responsive overrides (mobile/tablet) based on current viewport.

4. Mobile-First Interaction Patterns

5. AI Training Data Schema

Every action creates training data:
