  Distinct from packages/plotly-packages.yml, which records distribution. This file records the
  client-side and embeddable UI surface: Dash component libraries a developer composes into an
  app, the charting loaders, and the hosted/embedded surfaces Plotly sells. For Plotly this is
  the largest artifact in the repo because components ARE the product.
