summary:
  families: 3
  note: authentik is self-hosted, so its "embeddable" surface is not a hosted widget served
    from a vendor CDN — it is a Lit/web-component library plus the flow executors a
    deployment renders from its own instance.

  note: 'Version 0.0.5 and last published 2026-01-03 — pre-1.0 and eight months stale
    relative to the server train, so it should be read as an internal extraction in
