-# Task 3 Report: [Hover Interaction (Visual Feedback)]
+# Task: [Feature Name]
 
 ## Objective
-When the user hovers over the 3D object, something changes visually (e.g., color, scale).
+What is the feature trying to do?
 
-## Vanilla Three.js
+## Vanilla three.js
-- Possible: **Yes**
+-Possible: Yes / Partial / No
-- Notes: Requires setting up a `Raycaster`, calculating **Normalized Device Coordinates (NDC)** for the mouse, and manually toggling states inside a `mousemove` event listener.
+-Notes:
-- Key concepts: `THREE.Raycaster`, `mousemove`, `NDC calculation`, `Manual State Management`.
+-Key concepts:
-- Complexity: **Medium** (High math/boilerplate).
+-Complexity: Easy / Medium / Hard
 
 ## R3F
-- Possible: **Yes**
+-Possible: Yes / Partial / No
-- Notes: Extremely intuitive. Built-in `onPointerOver` and `onPointerOut` props handle everything declaratively. State management is simple with `useState`.
+-Notes:
-- What R3F abstracted: `Raycaster computation`, `Normalized Coordinates`, `Event-to-Mesh mapping`.
+-What R3F abstracted:
-- Complexity: **Easy** (Very concise, 5-10 lines of code).
+-Complexity: Easy / Medium / Hard
 
 ## Thob Page Builder
-- Possible: **No (for hover interaction)**
+-Possible: Yes / Partial / No
-- Notes:
+-Notes:
-  - Hover interaction is not supported in the current UI
+-Builder steps:
-  - Click trigger exists but did not produce consistent results during testing
+-Complexity: Easy / Medium / Hard
-  - Interaction system appears limited or unstable for dynamic visual feedback
-- Complexity: **Limited** (interaction features not fully functional)

 ## Comparison Summary
+-Possible in all 3? Yes / Partial / No
+-Main differences:
+-Where Thob is better:
+-Where Thob is weaker:
+-What feels awkward or unclear:
 
-- Possible in all 3? **No** (hover interaction not supported in builder)
+## Limitation Type (if any)
-
+-[ ] Editor UX limitation
-- Main differences:
+-[ ] Runtime limitation
-  - **Vanilla**: Powerful but requires manual setup
+-[ ] Schema / data model limitation
-  - **R3F**: Simplest and most reliable interaction system
+-[ ] Component limitation
-  - **Thob**: Limited interaction support; hover missing and click behavior unclear
+-[ ] Event system limitation
-
+-[ ] Asset pipeline limitation
-- Where Thob is better:
+-[ ] Unknown / needs investigation
-  - **Static visual prototyping**
-
-- Where Thob is weaker:
-  - **Interaction system reliability**
-  - Lack of hover support
-  - Unclear event-to-property binding
-
-- What feels awkward or unclear:
-  - Interaction triggers are visible but behavior is not always predictable

-## Limitation Type
-
-- [ ] Editor UX limitation
-- [x] Runtime limitation (event execution unclear)
-- [ ] Schema / data model limitation
-- [ ] Component limitation
-- [x] Event system limitation
-- [x] Property binding limitation
-- [ ] Asset pipeline limitation

 ## Workaround
-
+-Is there a workaround?
-- No reliable workaround found for hover interaction
+-If yes, what is it?
-- Click interaction may require further investigation or configuration
-
----
 
 ## Suggested Improvement
+-What should improve in Thob?
+-Is it:
+  -editor
+  -runtime
+  -component
+  -UX
+  -schema/data
 
-- Improve reliability of event execution (e.g., onClick behavior)
+## Difficulty Estimate
-- Introduce hover interaction support (`onHoverStart`, `onHoverEnd`)
+-Easy / Medium / Hard
-- Provide clearer feedback when event actions fail
 
----
+## Business Value
+-Low / Medium / High
 
 ## Recommendation
-
+Should Thob support this better? Why?
-To enable interactive 3D experiences, the builder should strengthen its event system, ensuring reliable execution of click triggers and adding support for hover-based interactions.

-# Builder Exploration Notes — Task 3: Hover Interaction
-
-## Capability Gap Identified
-
-- **Hover Events**: No visible support for `onPointerOver` / `onPointerOut` (hover) in the interaction panel
-- **Click Behavior**: `onClick` trigger is present in UI, but actions did not produce visible results during testing
-- **Visual Logic**: No clear way to connect user interaction to visual state changes (e.g., color/scale)
-- **Interaction Experience**: Scene appears static due to lack of responsive feedback
-
----
-
-## Observations
-
-- Interaction UI exists but execution behavior is unclear or inconsistent
-- Hover-based interaction is not exposed as a first-class concept
-- Click interaction may require additional configuration or may be unstable in current environment
-
----
-
-## Comparison vs Code
-
-- **Vanilla**:
-  - Requires raycasting and mouse tracking
-  - Fully controllable but complex
-
-- **R3F**:
-  - Hover interaction is simple using `onPointerOver` / `onPointerOut`
-  - Very intuitive and minimal code
-
-- **Thob**:
-  - Hover interaction not available
-  - Click interaction present but did not behave as expected during testing
-
----
-
-## Key Insight
-
-The builder currently lacks clear support for continuous pointer-based interactions (like hover) and shows limitations in reliably executing event-based visual updates.
-
----
-
-## Product Perspective
-
-Hover interactions are essential for user feedback (highlighting, selection cues). The absence or instability of such interactions limits the builder’s ability to create engaging 3D experiences.
-
----
-
-## Verdict
-
-Strong for **static visual setup**  
-Limited for **interactive behavior (hover and dynamic feedback)**
