 ### UTR-11: Required Reading for Control Render Tests
 
----
+**Before writing ANY render tests for Controls, you MUST:**
 
-#### **UTR-11.0: Read the matcher documentation (MANDATORY PREREQUISITE)**
-
-**Principle:** Before writing any render tests, you MUST read and understand the complete matcher documentation.
-
-**Mandatory reading:** `docs/testing_rendered_components.md`
-
-**What you must master:**
-- **`matches(actual, expected)`** - How to validate that an element matches your expectations
-- **`find(ft, expected)`** - How to search for elements within an HTML tree
-- **Predicates** - How to test patterns instead of exact values:
-  - `Contains()`, `StartsWith()`, `DoesNotContain()`, `AnyValue()` for attributes
-  - `Empty()`, `NoChildren()`, `AttributeForbidden()` for children
-- **Error messages** - How to read `^^^` markers to understand differences
-- **Key principle** - Test only what matters, ignore the rest
-
-**Without this reading, you cannot write correct render tests.**
+1. **Read the matcher documentation**: `docs/testing_rendered_components.md`
+2. **Understand the key concepts**:
+   - How `matches()` and `find()` work
+   - When to use predicates (Contains, StartsWith, AnyValue, etc.)
+   - How to test only what matters (not every detail)
+   - How to read error messages with `^^^` markers
+3. **Apply the best practices** detailed below

-### **TEST FILE STRUCTURE**
+#### **UTR-11.1 : Pattern de test en trois étapes (RÈGLE FONDAMENTALE)**
 
----
+**Principe :** C'est le pattern par défaut à appliquer pour tous les tests de rendu. Les autres règles sont des compléments à ce pattern.
 
-#### **UTR-11.1: Always start with a global structure test (FUNDAMENTAL RULE)**
+**Les trois étapes :**
+1. **Extraire l'élément à tester** avec `find_one()` ou `find()` à partir du rendu global
+2. **Définir la structure attendue** avec `expected = ...`
+3. **Comparer** avec `assert matches(element, expected)`
 
-**Principle:** The **first render test** must ALWAYS verify the global HTML structure of the component. This is the test that helps readers understand the general architecture.
+**Pourquoi :** Ce pattern permet des messages d'erreur clairs et sépare la recherche de l'élément de la validation de sa structure.
 
-**Why:**
-- Gives immediate overview of the structure
-- Facilitates understanding for new contributors
-- Quickly detects major structural changes
-- Serves as living documentation of HTML architecture
-
-**Test format:**
-```python
-def test_i_can_render_component_with_no_data(self, component):
-    """Test that Component renders with correct global structure."""
-    html = component.render()
-    expected = Div(
-        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-controller"),   # controller
-        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-header"),        # header
-        Div(id=f"{component.get_id()}-content"),       # content
-        id=component.get_id(),
-    )
-    assert matches(html, expected)
-```
-
-**Notes:**
-- Simple test with only IDs of main sections
-- Inline comments to identify each section
-- No detailed verification of attributes (classes, content, etc.)
-- This test must be the first in the `TestComponentRender` class
-
-**Test order:**
-1. **First test:** Global structure (UTR-11.1)
-2. **Following tests:** Details of each section (UTR-11.2 to UTR-11.10)
-
----
-
-#### **UTR-11.2: Break down complex tests into explicit steps**
-
-**Principle:** When a test verifies multiple levels of HTML nesting, break it down into numbered steps with explicit comments.
-
-**Why:**
-- Facilitates debugging (you know exactly which step fails)
-- Improves test readability
-- Allows validating structure level by level
-
-**Example:**
-```python
-def test_content_wrapper_when_tab_active(self, tabs_manager):
-    """Test that content wrapper shows active tab content."""
-    tab_id = tabs_manager.create_tab("Tab1", Div("My Content"))
-    wrapper = tabs_manager._mk_tab_content_wrapper()
-
-    # Step 1: Validate wrapper global structure
-    expected = Div(
-        Div(),  # tab content, tested in step 2
-        id=f"{tabs_manager.get_id()}-content-wrapper",
-        cls=Contains("mf-tab-content-wrapper"),
-    )
-    assert matches(wrapper, expected)
-
-    # Step 2: Extract and validate specific content
-    tab_content = find_one(wrapper, Div(id=f"{tabs_manager.get_id()}-{tab_id}-content"))
-    expected = Div(
-        Div("My Content"),  # <= actual content
-        cls=Contains("mf-tab-content"),
-    )
-    assert matches(tab_content, expected)
-```
-
-**Pattern:**
-- Step 1: Global structure with empty `Div()` + comment for children tested after
-- Step 2+: Extraction with `find_one()` + detailed validation
-
----
-
-#### **UTR-11.3: Three-step pattern for simple tests**
-
-**Principle:** For tests not requiring multi-level decomposition, use the standard three-step pattern.
-
-**The three steps:**
-1. **Extract the element to test** with `find_one()` or `find()` from the global render
-2. **Define the expected structure** with `expected = ...`
-3. **Compare** with `assert matches(element, expected)`
-
-**Example:**
+**Exemple :**
 ```python
+# ✅ BON - Pattern en trois étapes
 def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
     """Test that there is a left and right header section."""
-    # Step 1: Extract the element to test
+    # Étape 1 : Extraire l'élément à tester
     header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))
 
-    # Step 2: Define the expected structure
+    # Étape 2 : Définir la structure attendue
     expected = Header(
         Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"),
         Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"),
     )
 
-    # Step 3: Compare
+    # Étape 3 : Comparer
     assert matches(header, expected)
+
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - Tout imbriqué en une ligne
+def test_header_has_two_sides(self, layout):
+    assert matches(
+        find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header"))),
+        Header(Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hl"), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_hr"))
+    )
 ```

-### **HOW TO SEARCH FOR ELEMENTS**
+**Note :** Cette règle s'applique à presque tous les tests. Les autres règles ci-dessous complètent ce pattern fondamental.
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.4: Prefer searching by ID**
+#### **COMMENT CHERCHER LES ÉLÉMENTS**
 
-**Principle:** Always search for an element by its `id` when it has one, rather than by class or other attribute.
+---
 
-**Why:** More robust, faster, and targeted (an ID is unique).
+#### **UTR-11.2 : Privilégier la recherche par ID**
 
-**Example:**
+**Principe :** Toujours chercher un élément par son `id` quand il en a un, plutôt que par classe ou autre attribut.
+
+**Pourquoi :** Plus robuste, plus rapide, et ciblé (un ID est unique).
+
+**Exemple :**
 ```python
-# ✅ GOOD - search by ID
+# ✅ BON - recherche par ID
 drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(id=f"{layout._id}_ld"))
 
-# ❌ AVOID - search by class when an ID exists
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - recherche par classe quand un ID existe
 drawer = find_one(layout.render(), Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-left-drawer")))
 ```
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.5: Use `find_one()` vs `find()` based on context**
+#### **UTR-11.3 : Utiliser `find_one()` vs `find()` selon le contexte**
 
-**Principle:**
-- `find_one()`: When you search for a unique element and want to test its complete structure
-- `find()`: When you search for multiple elements or want to count/verify their presence
+**Principe :**
+- `find_one()` : Quand vous cherchez un élément unique et voulez tester sa structure complète
+- `find()` : Quand vous cherchez plusieurs éléments ou voulez compter/vérifier leur présence
 
-**Examples:**
+**Exemples :**
 ```python
-# ✅ GOOD - find_one for unique structure
+# ✅ BON - find_one pour structure unique
 header = find_one(layout.render(), Header(cls=Contains("mf-layout-header")))
 expected = Header(...)
 assert matches(header, expected)
 
-# ✅ GOOD - find for counting
+# ✅ BON - find pour compter
 resizers = find(drawer, Div(cls=Contains("mf-resizer-left")))
 assert len(resizers) == 1, "Left drawer should contain exactly one resizer element"
 ```
 
 ---
 
-### **HOW TO SPECIFY EXPECTED STRUCTURE**
+#### **COMMENT SPÉCIFIER LA STRUCTURE ATTENDUE**
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.6: Always use `Contains()` for `cls` and `style` attributes**
+#### **UTR-11.4 : Toujours utiliser `Contains()` pour les attributs `cls` et `style`**
 
-**Principle:**
-- For `cls`: CSS classes can be in any order. Test only important classes with `Contains()`.
-- For `style`: CSS properties can be in any order. Test only important properties with `Contains()`.
+**Principe :**
+- Pour `cls` : Les classes CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les classes importantes avec `Contains()`.
+- Pour `style` : Les propriétés CSS peuvent être dans n'importe quel ordre. Testez uniquement les propriétés importantes avec `Contains()`.
 
-**Why:** Avoids false negatives due to class/property order or spacing.
+**Pourquoi :** Évite les faux négatifs dus à l'ordre des classes/propriétés ou aux espaces.
 
-**Examples:**
+**Exemples :**
 ```python
-# ✅ GOOD - Contains for cls (one or more classes)
+# ✅ BON - Contains pour cls (une ou plusieurs classes)
 expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer"))
 expected = Div(cls=Contains("mf-layout-drawer", "mf-layout-left-drawer"))
 
-# ✅ GOOD - Contains for style
+# ✅ BON - Contains pour style
 expected = Div(style=Contains("width: 250px"))
 
-# ❌ AVOID - exact class test
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact des classes
 expected = Div(cls="mf-layout-drawer mf-layout-left-drawer")
 
-# ❌ AVOID - exact complete style test
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - test exact du style complet
 expected = Div(style="width: 250px; overflow: hidden; display: flex;")
 ```
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.7: Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` to test icon presence**
+#### **UTR-11.5 : Utiliser `TestIcon()` pour tester la présence d'une icône**
 
-**Principle:** Use `TestIcon()` or `TestIconNotStr()` depending on how the icon is integrated in the code.
+**Principe :** Utilisez `TestIcon("icon_name")` pour tester la présence d'une icône SVG dans le rendu.
 
-**Difference between the two:**
-- **`TestIcon("icon_name")`**: Searches for the pattern `<div><NotStr .../></div>` (icon wrapped in a Div)
-- **`TestIconNotStr("icon_name")`**: Searches only for `<NotStr .../>` (icon alone, without wrapper)
-
-**How to choose:**
-1. **Read the source code** to see how the icon is rendered
-2. If `mk.icon()` or equivalent wraps the icon in a Div → use `TestIcon()`
-3. If the icon is directly included without wrapper → use `TestIconNotStr()`
-
-**The `name` parameter:**
-- **Exact name**: Use the exact import name (e.g., `TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")`) to validate a specific icon
-- **`name=""`** (empty string): Validates **any icon**
-
-**Examples:**
+**Le paramètre `name` :**
+- **Nom exact** : Utilisez le nom exact de l'import (ex: `TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular")`) pour valider une icône spécifique
+- **`name=""`** (chaîne vide) : Valide **n'importe quelle icône**. Le test sera passant dès que la structure affichant une icône sera trouvée, peu importe laquelle.
+- **JAMAIS `name="svg"`** : Cela causera des échecs de test
 
+**Exemples :**
 ```python
-# Example 1: Wrapped icon (typically with mk.icon())
-# Source code: mk.icon(panel_right_expand20_regular, size=20)
-# Rendered: <div><NotStr .../></div>
+from myfasthtml.icons.fluent import panel_right_expand20_regular
+
+# ✅ BON - Tester une icône spécifique
 expected = Header(
     Div(
-        TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"),  # ✅ With wrapper
+        TestIcon("panel_right_expand20_regular"),
         cls=Contains("flex", "gap-1")
     )
 )
 
-# Example 2: Direct icon (used without helper)
-# Source code: Span(dismiss_circle16_regular, cls="icon")
-# Rendered: <span><NotStr .../></span>
-expected = Span(
-    TestIconNotStr("dismiss_circle16_regular"),  # ✅ Without wrapper
-    cls=Contains("icon")
-)
-
-# Example 3: Verify any wrapped icon
+# ✅ BON - Tester la présence de n'importe quelle icône
 expected = Div(
-    TestIcon(""),  # Accepts any wrapped icon
+    TestIcon(""),  # Accepte n'importe quelle icône
     cls=Contains("icon-wrapper")
 )
-```
 
-**Debugging tip:**
-If your test fails with `TestIcon()`, try `TestIconNotStr()` and vice-versa. The error message will show you the actual structure.
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - name="svg"
+expected = Div(TestIcon("svg"))  # ERREUR : causera un échec
+```
 
 ---
 
-#### **UTR-11.8: Use `TestScript()` to test JavaScript scripts**
+#### **UTR-11.6 : Utiliser `TestScript()` pour tester les scripts JavaScript**
 
-**Principle:** Use `TestScript(code_fragment)` to verify JavaScript code presence. Test only the important fragment, not the complete script.
+**Principe :** Utilisez `TestScript(code_fragment)` pour vérifier la présence de code JavaScript. Testez uniquement le fragment important, pas le script complet.
 
-**Example:**
+**Exemple :**
 ```python
-# ✅ GOOD - TestScript with important fragment
+# ✅ BON - TestScript avec fragment important
 script = find_one(layout.render(), Script())
 expected = TestScript(f"initResizer('{layout._id}');")
 assert matches(script, expected)
 
-# ❌ AVOID - testing all script content
+# ❌ À ÉVITER - tester tout le contenu du script
 expected = Script("(function() { const id = '...'; initResizer(id); })()")
 ```

-#### **UTR-11.9: Justify the choice of tested elements**
+#### **UTR-11.7 : Justifier le choix des éléments testés**

+**Principe :** Dans la section de documentation du test (après le docstring de description), expliquez **pourquoi chaque élément ou attribut testé a été choisi**. Qu'est-ce qui le rend important pour la fonctionnalité ?

-#### **UTR-11.10: Count tests with explicit messages**
+#### **UTR-11.8 : Tests de comptage avec messages explicites**

-### UTR-12: Analyze Execution Flow Before Writing Tests
-
-**Rule:** Before writing a test, trace the complete execution flow to understand side effects.
-
-**Why:** Prevents writing tests based on incorrect assumptions about behavior.
-
-**Example:**
-```
-Test: "content_is_cached_after_first_retrieval"
-Flow: create_tab() → _add_or_update_tab() → state.ns_tabs_content[tab_id] = component
-Conclusion: Cache is already filled after create_tab, test would be redundant
-```
-
-**Process:**
-1. Identify the method being tested
-2. Trace all method calls it makes
-3. Identify state changes at each step
-4. Verify your assumptions about what the test should validate
-5. Only then write the test
-
----
-
-### UTR-13: Prefer matches() for Content Verification
-
-**Rule:** Even in behavior tests, use `matches()` to verify HTML content rather than `assert "text" in str(element)`.
-
-**Why:** More robust, clearer error messages, consistent with render test patterns.
-
-**Examples:**
-```python
-# ❌ FRAGILE - string matching
-result = component._dynamic_get_content("nonexistent_id")
-assert "Tab not found" in str(result)
-
-# ✅ ROBUST - structural matching
-result = component._dynamic_get_content("nonexistent_id")
-assert matches(result, Div('Tab not found.'))
-```
-
----
-
-### UTR-14: Know FastHTML Attribute Names
-
-**Rule:** FastHTML elements use HTML attribute names, not Python parameter names.
-
-**Key differences:**
-- Use `attrs.get('class')` not `attrs.get('cls')`
-- Use `attrs.get('id')` for the ID
-- Prefer `matches()` with predicates to avoid direct attribute access
-
-**Examples:**
-```python
-# ❌ WRONG - Python parameter name
-classes = element.attrs.get('cls', '')  # Returns None or ''
-
-# ✅ CORRECT - HTML attribute name
-classes = element.attrs.get('class', '')  # Returns actual classes
-
-# ✅ BETTER - Use predicates with matches()
-expected = Div(cls=Contains("active"))
-assert matches(element, expected)
-```

-# TabsManager Component
-
-## Introduction
-
-The TabsManager component provides a dynamic tabbed interface for organizing multiple views within your FastHTML application. It handles tab creation, activation, closing, and content management with automatic state persistence and HTMX-powered interactions.
-
-**Key features:**
-
-- Dynamic tab creation and removal at runtime
-- Automatic content caching for performance
-- Session-based state persistence (tabs, order, active tab)
-- Duplicate tab detection based on component identity
-- Built-in search menu for quick tab navigation
-- Auto-increment labels for programmatic tab creation
-- HTMX-powered updates without page reload
-
-**Common use cases:**
-
-- Multi-document editor (code editor, text editor)
-- Dashboard with multiple data views
-- Settings interface with different configuration panels
-- Developer tools with console, inspector, network tabs
-- Application with dynamic content sections
-
-## Quick Start
-
-Here's a minimal example showing a tabbed interface with three views:
-
-```python
-from fasthtml.common import *
-from myfasthtml.controls.TabsManager import TabsManager
-from myfasthtml.core.instances import RootInstance
-
-# Create root instance and tabs manager
-root = RootInstance(session)
-tabs = TabsManager(parent=root)
-
-# Create three tabs with different content
-tabs.create_tab("Dashboard", Div(H1("Dashboard"), P("Overview of your data")))
-tabs.create_tab("Settings", Div(H1("Settings"), P("Configure your preferences")))
-tabs.create_tab("Profile", Div(H1("Profile"), P("Manage your profile")))
-
-# Render the tabs manager
-return tabs
-```
-
-This creates a complete tabbed interface with:
-
-- A header bar displaying three clickable tab buttons ("Dashboard", "Settings", "Profile")
-- Close buttons (×) on each tab for dynamic removal
-- A main content area showing the active tab's content
-- A search menu (⊞ icon) for quick tab navigation when many tabs are open
-- Automatic HTMX updates when switching or closing tabs
-
-**Note:** Tabs are interactive by default. Users can click tab labels to switch views, click close buttons to remove tabs, or use the search menu to find tabs quickly. All interactions update the UI without page reload thanks to HTMX integration.
-
-## Basic Usage
-
-### Visual Structure
-
-The TabsManager component consists of a header with tab buttons and a content area:

-
-### Creating a TabsManager
-
-The TabsManager is a `MultipleInstance`, meaning you can create multiple independent tab managers in your application. Create it by providing a parent instance:
-
-```python
-tabs = TabsManager(parent=root_instance)
-
-# Or with a custom ID
-tabs = TabsManager(parent=root_instance, _id="my-tabs")
-```
-
-### Creating Tabs
-
-Use the `create_tab()` method to add a new tab:
-
-```python
-# Create a tab with custom content
-tab_id = tabs.create_tab(
-    label="My Tab",
-    component=Div(H1("Content"), P("Tab content here"))
-)
-
-# Create with a MyFastHtml control
-from myfasthtml.controls.VisNetwork import VisNetwork
-network = VisNetwork(parent=tabs, nodes=nodes_data, edges=edges_data)
-tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Network View", network)
-
-# Create without activating immediately
-tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Background Tab", content, activate=False)
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `label` (str): Display text shown in the tab button
-- `component` (Any): Content to display in the tab (FastHTML elements or MyFastHtml controls)
-- `activate` (bool): Whether to make this tab active immediately (default: True)
-
-**Returns:** A unique `tab_id` (UUID string) that identifies the tab
-
-### Showing Tabs
-
-Use the `show_tab()` method to activate and display a tab:
-
-```python
-# Show a tab (makes it active and sends content to client if needed)
-tabs.show_tab(tab_id)
-
-# Show without activating (just send content to client)
-tabs.show_tab(tab_id, activate=False)
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `tab_id` (str): The UUID of the tab to show
-- `activate` (bool): Whether to make this tab active (default: True)
-
-**Note:** The first time a tab is shown, its content is sent to the client and cached. Subsequent activations just toggle visibility without re-sending content.
-
-### Closing Tabs
-
-Use the `close_tab()` method to remove a tab:
-
-```python
-# Close a specific tab
-tabs.close_tab(tab_id)
-```
-
-**What happens when closing:**
-1. Tab is removed from the tab list and order
-2. Content is removed from cache and client
-3. If the closed tab was active, the first remaining tab becomes active
-4. If no tabs remain, `active_tab` is set to `None`
-
-### Changing Tab Content
-
-Use the `change_tab_content()` method to update an existing tab's content and label:
-
-```python
-# Update tab content and label
-new_content = Div(H1("Updated"), P("New content"))
-tabs.change_tab_content(
-    tab_id=tab_id,
-    label="Updated Tab",
-    component=new_content,
-    activate=True
-)
-```
-
-**Parameters:**
-- `tab_id` (str): The UUID of the tab to update
-- `label` (str): New label for the tab
-- `component` (Any): New content to display
-- `activate` (bool): Whether to activate the tab after updating (default: True)
-
-**Note:** This method forces the new content to be sent to the client, even if the tab was already displayed.
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Auto-increment Labels
-
-When creating multiple tabs programmatically, you can use auto-increment to generate unique labels:
-
-```python
-# Using the on_new_tab method with auto_increment
-def create_multiple_tabs():
-    # Creates "Untitled_0", "Untitled_1", "Untitled_2"
-    tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
-    tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
-    tabs.on_new_tab("Untitled", content, auto_increment=True)
-```
-
-**How it works:**
-- The TabsManager maintains an internal counter (`_tab_count`)
-- When `auto_increment=True`, the counter value is appended to the label
-- Counter increments with each auto-incremented tab creation
-- Useful for "New Tab 1", "New Tab 2" patterns in editors or tools
-
-### Duplicate Detection
-
-The TabsManager automatically detects and reuses tabs with identical content to prevent duplicates:
-
-```python
-# Create a control instance
-network = VisNetwork(parent=tabs, nodes=data, edges=edges)
-
-# First call creates a new tab
-tab_id_1 = tabs.create_tab("Network", network)
-
-# Second call with same label and component returns existing tab_id
-tab_id_2 = tabs.create_tab("Network", network)
-
-# tab_id_1 == tab_id_2  (True - same tab!)
-```
-
-**Detection criteria:**
-A tab is considered a duplicate if all three match:
-- Same `label`
-- Same `component_type` (component class prefix)
-- Same `component_id` (component instance ID)
-
-**Note:** This only works with `BaseInstance` components (MyFastHtml controls). Plain FastHTML elements don't have IDs and will always create new tabs.
-
-### Dynamic Content Updates
-
-You can update tabs dynamically during the session:
-
-```python
-# Initial tab creation
-tab_id = tabs.create_tab("Data View", Div("Loading..."))
-
-# Later, update with actual data
-def load_data():
-    data_content = Div(H2("Data"), P("Loaded content"))
-    tabs.change_tab_content(tab_id, "Data View", data_content)
-    # Returns HTMX response to update the UI
-```
-
-**Use cases:**
-- Loading data asynchronously
-- Refreshing tab content based on user actions
-- Updating visualizations with new data
-- Switching between different views in the same tab
-
-### Tab Search Menu
-
-The built-in search menu helps users navigate when many tabs are open:
-
-```python
-# The search menu is automatically created and includes:
-# - A Search control for filtering tabs by label
-# - Live filtering as you type
-# - Click to activate a tab from search results
-```
-
-**How to access:**
-- Click the ⊞ icon in the tab header
-- Start typing to filter tabs by label
-- Click a result to activate that tab
-
-The search menu updates automatically when tabs are added or removed.
-
-### HTMX Out-of-Band Swaps
-
-For advanced HTMX control, you can customize swap behavior:
-
-```python
-# Standard behavior (out-of-band swap enabled)
-tabs.show_tab(tab_id, oob=True)  # Default
-
-# Custom target behavior (disable out-of-band)
-tabs.show_tab(tab_id, oob=False)  # Swap into HTMX target only
-```
-
-**When to use `oob=False`:**
-- When you want to control the exact HTMX target
-- When combining with other HTMX responses
-- When the tab activation is triggered by a command with a specific target
-
-**When to use `oob=True` (default):**
-- Most common use case
-- Allows other controls to trigger tab changes without caring about targets
-- Enables automatic UI updates across multiple elements
-
-### CSS Customization
-
-The TabsManager uses CSS classes that you can customize:
-
-| Class                      | Element                          |
-|----------------------------|----------------------------------|
-| `mf-tabs-manager`          | Root tabs manager container      |
-| `mf-tabs-header-wrapper`   | Header wrapper (buttons + menu)  |
-| `mf-tabs-header`           | Tab buttons container            |
-| `mf-tab-button`            | Individual tab button            |
-| `mf-tab-active`            | Active tab button (modifier)     |
-| `mf-tab-label`             | Tab label text                   |
-| `mf-tab-close-btn`         | Close button (×)                 |
-| `mf-tab-content-wrapper`   | Content area container           |
-| `mf-tab-content`           | Individual tab content           |
-| `mf-empty-content`         | Empty state when no tabs         |
-
-**Example customization:**
-
-```css
-/* Change active tab color */
-.mf-tab-active {
-    background-color: #3b82f6;
-    color: white;
-}
-
-/* Customize close button */
-.mf-tab-close-btn:hover {
-    color: red;
-}
-
-/* Style the content area */
-.mf-tab-content-wrapper {
-    padding: 2rem;
-    background-color: #f9fafb;
-}

-### Tab Metadata Structure
-
-Each tab in the `tabs` dictionary has the following structure:
-
-```python
-{
-    'id': 'uuid-string',              # Unique tab identifier
-    'label': 'Tab Label',             # Display label
-    'component_type': 'prefix',       # Component class prefix (or None)
-    'component_id': 'instance-id'     # Component instance ID (or None)
-}
-```
-
-**Note:** `component_type` and `component_id` are `None` for plain FastHTML elements that don't inherit from `BaseInstance`.
