note: 'Account Engagement ships one genuine client-side component surface: the Tracking and Consent JavaScript
  API. It is a command-queue tracker (the `pdt()` function) plus a hosted consent banner, loaded from the customer''s
  own tracker domain. Everything else Account Engagement renders in a browser — forms, form handlers, landing
  pages — is server-rendered and hosted by Account Engagement rather than an embeddable component library,
  so it is listed as a hosted surface, not a component.'
