FlintComponent class abstract

Base class for reusable Flint UI components.

Prefer extending StatelessComponent for presentation widgets, or StatefulComponent for components that manage local state or lifecycle. Extending StatelessComponent or StatefulComponent directly makes state preservation explicit and helps developer tools (and AI assistants) reason about the component structure.
