Architecture

Korporus is built on three key technologies:

• Module Federation 2.0 — Runtime loading of independently-built JavaScript bundles
• Web Components — The boundary contract between the shell and apps
• The Shell — An OS-like host that discovers, loads, and renders federated apps

How It Works

1. The shell starts and fetches app manifests from a known set of URLs
2. Each manifest describes an app: its name, icon, and the Web Component tag names for its three slots (titlebar, main, settings)
3. When a user opens an app, the shell uses the Module Federation runtime to dynamically import the app's remoteEntry.js
4. The remote entry's bootstrap module registers the app's Web Components as custom elements
5. The shell creates instances of those custom elements and mounts them in the appropriate layout slots
