How elagoht/collage works

Collage is a Go framework for server-side, component-based rendering, with a companion CLI for creating, developing, building, exporting, and serving sites. In the principal workflow, an application registers pages and fragments; an HTTP request is routed and rendered from templates and data, then returned with cache and dependency-tag behavior. Documents and mounted assets are additional serving paths, while plugins extend application behavior. The source excerpts show the public-to-core handoff and key rendering responsibilities; several internal connections are documented in package comments or the README rather than inspected call sites.
