dynamic widgets

Dynamic Widgets matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around preventing client-site regressions before updates or edits go live, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Page-builder and editor changes can break layouts, CTAs, or client pages after updates. The entry wedge is to run pre-update checks, detect visible regressions, and produce client-safe rollback guidance.
