Hydratable

hydratable() runs once on the server; the hydrated island reads the same value from <head> on the client without re-running the async work. Watch the server console — the 'computing fact' line prints once per request, never on hydration.

Page (SSR-only)

Runs in the page's top-level script and is inlined into the rendered HTML.

Island using hydratable()

Reads the SSR value out of window.__svelte.h on the client without re-running the work.

Island using a prop

Receives the value as a prop; Mochi serialises it into the island's HTML.
