+## Attributes
+
+The component sets `inheritAttrs: false` and places attributes itself: `class` goes on both the
+wrapper and the `<pre>` (wrapper styling plus Prism plugin classes), `style` on the wrapper only, and
+everything else (`id`, `data-*`, `aria-*`, listeners) on the `<pre>` only. Keep `class` duplicated;

 change is intended.
 
+### Test in the playground
+
+Unit tests run in jsdom, which does not cover real rendering, theme CSS, or Prism plugins well.
+After any change to the component's rendering, attributes, styles, themes, or plugins, also check
+it in the browser playground at http://127.0.0.1:3000/vue-code-block/playground/ (served by
+`pnpm dev` / `pnpm play`).
+
+- The playground page is `src/playground/PlaygroundPage.ts.vue`. It is gitignored scratch space
+  (created from `src/playground/configs/templates/` if missing), so edit it freely to set up the
+  case being tested, and restore it afterwards.
+- Check the rendered DOM and the browser console, not just that the page loads.
