Web Forms as standalone app

[latin-panda]

Overview

Evolve Web Forms into a standalone Dockerized app for decoupled integration with hosts like Central, addressing embedding issues like CSS/JS conflicts and enabling independent development, releases, and future features like offline sync.

---

Goals

• Decouple Web Forms from host apps for independent upgrades and reduced conflicts
• Define versioned APIs for seamless integration and extensibility
• Ensure easy deployment with proxying for easy adoption
• Ensure security, performance, and fallback mechanisms

User Stories

As a Central maintainer,
I want Web Forms as a standalone app,
so that I can update WF without host changes.

As a Web Forms integrator,
I want Web Forms to be independent from host apps
so that I avoid dependencies and style conflicts.

As a form user,
I want reliable access to Web Forms' forms,
so that I benefit from offline and entity features seamlessly.
