Description

When using Volt's full-page component within Blade section directive I cannot get $wire to work in JavaScript as it can't find current component.

Could not find Livewire component in DOM tree

Steps To Reproduce

Create simple layout resources/views/layouts/bare.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<body>
@yield('body')
</body>
</html>

Create Volt component resources/views/livewire/email.blade.php

<?php

use function Livewire\Volt\{layout, state};

layout('layouts.bare');
state('email', 'test@example.com');

?>

<div>
    @section('body')
    <p x-data="{
        email: $wire.$get('email')
    }">Your email is: <span x-text="email"></span></p>
    @endsection
</div>

Add routing in routes/web.php

<?php

use Livewire\Volt\Volt;

Volt::route('/email', 'email');

Because our alpine component is within blade's @section directive, it cannot find current Livewire component.

Research direction: The issue occurs when using Volt full page components inside Blade @section directives. The Alpine.js component cannot find the Livewire $wire object. Investigate how Volt handles Blade sections and component context. The reproduction steps are clear in the issue body. Start by examining the Volt rendering process, particularly how template inheritance and sections interact with Livewire's component hydration. Check if there is an existing issue or PR addressing this. Look at the generated HTML and JavaScript to see where the component root element is lost. The fix may involve ensuring the component wrapper is properly placed around the section content.
