Generative UI Shifts to 2 Registries and Structured Intent for Safer Run-Time Apps

Summary
Run-time generative UI should output structured intent—not HTML, JavaScript or event handlers—so live applications render only trusted components instead of executing model-generated code.
A controlled vocabulary of UI blocks, validated at run time with schemas such as JSON Schema or Zod, lets applications reject unknown types, malformed props and unsupported actions before anything reaches the screen.
2 registries form the core boundary: a component registry maps approved block types to existing UI components, while an action registry ensures buttons and workflows call only application-defined operations.
Application state and authorization still stay outside the model. Components must read real data from trusted APIs, and any action needs deterministic permission, context and server-side checks.
The broader design pattern is controlled composition: models choose from exposed capabilities, while front-end architecture keeps testing, accessibility, telemetry and business rules intact.
