`markIncomplete` writes the stage of the innermost block component auto-close had to close on
its closer: `::al` → `::al\n:: <!-- auto-close: name -->` (`name` | `props` | `content`). The
`comark_block` rule in `src/plugins/components.ts` accepts a trailing HTML comment on any closer
(dropped), and reads an `auto-close:` one into `tokenOpen.meta.ac`; the token processor turns it
into `$.ac` on the component (and on its last slot for `content`). Behavioral SPEC: `packages/comark/SPEC/auto-close.md` (run via `test/auto-close-spec.test.ts`).

Apply Streaming to generated-content previews.

The completion watcher calls parseMarkdown and writes a non-streaming result directly to document.value. The debounced updatePreview and final onFinish parse use Streaming, but intermediate completion updates can display unstamped content.

Create the parser in the completion watcher and pass the selected Streaming option.

Suggested fix 
-import { createMarkdownParser, parseMarkdown } from 'comark'
+import { createMarkdownParser } from 'comark'
...
-    const result = await parseMarkdown(md, {
+    const parse = createMarkdownParser({
       plugins: activePlugins.value,
       autoUnwrap: parseOptions.value.autoUnwrap,
       autoClose: true,
     })
+    const result = await parse(md, { streaming: parseOptions.value.streaming })

Review comment at @docs/app/components/Playground.vue at line 267:
Update the completion watcher to use a parser created with createMarkdownParser
and pass parseOptions.value.streaming when parsing generated content; remove the
parseMarkdown usage there so intermediate completion updates honor the selected
Streaming option.

Treat `$` as structural metadata. Component props and standard HTML attributes live alongside it.

While parsing with `{ streaming: true }`, the innermost block component that is still being typed carries `$.ac`, so a renderer can show a placeholder instead of flashing a half-typed component:

| `$.ac` | The stream stopped while typing | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `'name'` | the component name | `::al` |
| `'props'` | the `{...}` props, or a YAML props block | `::alert{type="in` |
| `'content'` | the body | `::alert` then `some text` |

With `'content'`, the component's last slot (`template`) carries it too. Parent components and finished components have no `$.ac`, so a finished stream matches a non-streaming parse.

With `markIncomplete: true` (on in streaming parses), the closer of the innermost component also records where the stream stopped. The parser turns it into `$.ac` on that component. See [The `$` metadata](/getting-started/document-model#attributes).

```typescript
autoCloseMarkdown('::alert\nContent', { markIncomplete: true })
