Component Boundaries: The Missing Link in Frontend Consistency

Frontend maintainability suffers when HTML, CSS, and DOM behavior are scattered across separate files—small inconsistencies compound into mysterious layout bugs that developers struggle to trace.

This approach, demonstrated through Razor Pages and similar frameworks, offers a pragmatic architectural pattern for maintaining UI consistency as applications scale.
