Interface CopilotRewriter<C extends ComponentRef>

Type Parameters:
C - the component handle this rewriter resolves components to
All Known Implementing Classes:
JavaRewriter
public interface CopilotRewriter<C extends ComponentRef>
The source-rewriting operations Copilot performs in response to visual editing, independent of the language being rewritten.

Implemented by the Java rewriter and, once it exists, the Kotlin one. Only operations whose contract is genuinely language-independent appear here. Anything that trades in parse-tree nodes — attaching a component to a given insertion point, importing a Lit template, the result of a duplicate — stays on the concrete rewriter, because expressing it here would mean inventing a neutral node model that the Kotlin side does not want: it works in text offsets, not nodes.

The component handle is a type parameter rather than ComponentRef itself, so an implementation can keep taking its own richer handle without casting on every call. Java has no covariant parameter types, so the alternative would have been to change every signature in the Java rewriter and cast internally.
