"""
Widget ABC contracts for OpenHCS UI frameworks.
Defines explicit contracts that all widgets must implement, eliminating duck typing
in favor of fail-loud inheritance-based architecture.
Design Philosophy:
- Explicit inheritance over duck typing
- Fail-loud over fail-silent
- Discoverable over scattered
- Multiple inheritance for composable capabilities
Inspired by OpenHCS patterns:
- StorageBackendMeta: Metaclass auto-registration
- MemoryTypeConverter: ABC contracts with adapters
- LibraryRegistryBase: Centralized operations
