InteractableComponentInstance class abstract Components Core Interaction
Base class for a ComponentInstance that can respond to user interaction.
An InteractableComponentInstance adds focus, hover, and input-handling
capabilities to a component instance. Subclasses can override interaction
flags and event handlers to define custom behavior.
Interaction flags:
- isFocusable — whether the component can gain focus.
- isHoverable — whether the component can be hovered.
- wantsInput — whether the component requests input events when focused.
State:
- isFocused — whether the component is currently focused.
- isHovered — whether the component is currently hovered.
Event lifecycle:
- focus → onFocus
- blur → onBlur
- hover → onHover
- onClick — triggered on user click/tap.
- handleInput — process raw InputEvents and return a ResponseInput.
Rendering:
May optionally hold a RenderManager reference for rendering coordination.

- ComponentInstance — the base type for all renderable component instances.
- ResponseInput — standard return type for processing user input.
- InputEvent — encapsulates raw user interaction events.
