Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the regular selector, input, and controls, then trace how types are represented and how URL state is handled. Define the Compose workflow, JSON-like type format, local persistence, URL sharing, and remaining-bytes display as acceptance criteria before implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'd like to support the following workflow:

  1. Paste a hex-encoded data.
  2. Add "kinds" that compose a particular type (type + name (optional - autofilled)).
  3. At the very end always display remaining bytes as some special field.

Could be done by selecting "Compose" at the regular selector, which would open up additional section between input and controls that would allow composing the type.
The type should also be possible to describe as JSON-like format, like so:

{
  "id": "u8",
  "name": "string",
  "header": "Header",
  "blob": "blob"
}

So that the composed type can be:

  1. locally persisted
  2. added to the URL
  3. Copy & Pasted over chat
