 ## Runtime components
 
-- `SubFetch` runs a manual query with its `params`. Set `triggerContent` to a card or image to make that content the accessible click and keyboard trigger instead of showing the default load button.
+- `SubFetch` runs a named query. Automatic queries run when the widget loads; set `trigger="manual"` to defer one and pass
+  primitive `params` for its invocation references. With `triggerContent`, any content node (commonly a card or image) becomes
+  the accessible click and keyboard trigger instead of showing the default load button.
 - `SubFetch` with `trigger="manual"` keeps its result local to that instance; it does not populate the shared
   `data.requestId` or `status.requestId` roots. The child callback receives `(result, meta)`, while loading, errors, and
   retry are handled by `SubFetch`. Provide both `triggerContent` and `triggerAriaLabel` when custom content launches it.
 - `ActionButton` and `ToggleSwitch` run actions only when the widget is mounted outside edit mode. A toggle needs both
   enabled and disabled request parameters and rolls back its visual state if the action fails.
-- `RefreshButton` renders a compact, accessible icon control that invalidates the client&apos;s load-query cache; it does not
