Convex component authoring

Produces a self contained component: its own convex.config.ts, schema, functions, and a typed client wrapper the parent app calls. The one rule: a component cannot read the parent's tables, ctx.auth, or process.env. Whatever it needs, the app passes in as arguments.

When to reach for this

• Extracting a feature (counters, rate limits, audit logs, notifications) into a package
• Building something for the Convex component directory
• A component's functions are missing from components.<name> in the parent app
• A third party integration should own its own tables and background jobs
• The same backend module is needed in several apps
