  Arena ships ready-to-use, embeddable client-side engagement surfaces that a
  host site drops into a page with little or no development effort. These are the
  interface layer (widgets rendered in the browser), distinct from the
  server/client JavaScript SDK libraries catalogued in packages/arena-packages.yml,
  which are for building custom experiences on the same infrastructure.
