 ## Why this exists
 
@@ -26,13 +26,62 @@ change when the libraries themselves are upgraded. Feature work no longer rewrit
   invalidates the artifact for everyone, which is exactly what this package exists to avoid.
 - **Import from here, never from the library directly.** `import { LineChart } from
   '@automattic/charts'` inside another module bundles charts into that module again and silently
-  undoes the split. ESLint enforces this for `packages/widgets-toolkit` (`no-restricted-imports`
-  in `eslint.config.mjs`); stylesheet imports are exempt, since plain CSS carries none of the

+  undoes the split. ESLint enforces this across `packages/**`, `widgets/**` and `routes/**`
+  (`no-restricted-imports` in `eslint.config.mjs`), with `packages/externals` itself excluded — it
+  *is* the passthrough, so it has to import the libraries directly. Stylesheet imports are exempt
+  everywhere, since plain CSS carries none of the bundling cost.
+
+  Under `widgets/` and `routes/` the rule splits in two: `@automattic/charts` must come from
+  `@jetpack-premium-analytics/widgets-toolkit`, which themes the chart components and takes charts
+  from here itself, so a toolkit passthrough costs nothing; everything else comes straight from
+  here. Both patterns live in one ESLint block on purpose — a second `files` entry naming
+  `no-restricted-imports` again would *replace* the rule for those paths rather than add to it.
 - **Adding an export is cheap; adding a library is not.** A new library only belongs here if more
   than one module needs it, or if it is large enough that re-emitting it per module hurts.
+  `@automattic/ui` qualifies on the second count alone: `DateRangeCalendar` is its only consumer
+  in the package, but it reaches `react-day-picker` behind it, so leaving it in `packages/ui`
+  re-emitted ~55 KB of vendor code on every edit to that module.
+
+  `date-fns` deliberately stays out. It is imported directly by ~30 files across `data`,
+  `datetime`, `routing`, `widgets/`, and `routes/`, and it is tree-shaken per function — routing it
+  through here would mean a barrel that grows every time any consumer needs one more function,
+  which is exactly the churn this module exists to avoid.
+
+## What wp-build externalises on its own
+
+wp-build externalises a `@wordpress/*` import only when that library's own `package.json` declares
+one of two fields (see `isScriptModuleImport` in `@wordpress/build/lib/wordpress-externals-plugin.mjs`):
+
+- `wpScript` — externalised as a classic `wp-<name>` script handle, listed under `dependencies` in
+  the generated `*.asset.php`.
+- `wpScriptModuleExports` — externalised as a script module, listed under `module_dependencies`.
+
+`@wordpress/components`, `@wordpress/data`, `@wordpress/element`, `@wordpress/i18n`,
+`@wordpress/theme` and `@wordpress/compose` all declare `wpScript`, so importing them costs
+nothing and they must **not** be routed through here. The same goes for `react` and `react-dom`.
+
+`@wordpress/ui` and `@wordpress/dataviews` declare **neither**, so esbuild compiles them into every
+bundle that imports them. That is the only reason they are in this module: a direct import of
+`@wordpress/ui` is not the free externalised reference that a direct import of
+`@wordpress/components` is.
+
+### Revisit this when upstream changes
+
+**If `@wordpress/ui` or `@wordpress/dataviews` ever ship `wpScript` or `wpScriptModuleExports`,
+drop them from here and import them directly again.** At that point wp-build externalises them
+natively, this passthrough stops earning its keep for those two, and the extra hop is pure
+indirection. Check with:
+
+```sh
+# Run from projects/packages/premium-analytics.
+for p in @wordpress/ui @wordpress/dataviews; do
+  node -p "const j=require('$p/package.json');
+    '$p: ' + ((j.wpScript || j.wpScriptModuleExports) ? 'externalised by wp-build — remove from externals' : 'still compiled in — keep here')"
+done
+```
+
+Today both report *still compiled in* (`@wordpress/ui` declares `wpScript: false`,
+`@wordpress/dataviews` declares nothing).
 
-Libraries WordPress already registers as script modules or globals (`@wordpress/components`,
-`@wordpress/data`, `@wordpress/i18n`, `react`, …) are externalised by wp-build on their own and
-must **not** be routed through here.
+`@automattic/charts` and `@automattic/ui` are third-party to WordPress and will never gain those
+fields, so they stay here regardless.
