 ## PromotionStore
 
-`PromotionStore` becomes vestigial. It may remain temporarily as a derived
-runtime compatibility/index layer for existing consumers, but it is not
-serialized authority, must not create promotions without linked
-`SubgraphInput`s, and should be removed once consumers query the standard graph
-interface directly.
+`PromotionStore` has been removed. Canonical value-widget exposure is
+represented by linked `SubgraphInput`s. Canonical preview exposure is
+represented by host-scoped `properties.previewExposures` /
+`PreviewExposureStore`. Legacy `properties.proxyWidgets` is migration input only
+and must not be reintroduced as runtime authority.
 
 ## Considered options

-### Ref-Counting for O(1) Queries
-
-The store maintains a parallel ref-count map. When a widget is promoted on a SubgraphNode, the ref count for that entry key increments. When demoted, it decrements. This enables:
-
-```ts
-isPromotedByAny(graphId, { sourceNodeId, sourceWidgetName }): boolean
-// O(1) lookup: refCounts.get(key) > 0
-```
-
-Without ref counting, this query would require scanning all SubgraphNodes in the graph.
-
-### View Reconciliation Layer
-
-`PromotedWidgetViewManager` (`src/lib/litegraph/src/subgraph/PromotedWidgetViewManager.ts`) sits between the store and the UI:
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    PS["PromotionStore
-(data)"] -->|"entries"| VM["PromotedWidgetViewManager
-(reconciliation)"] -->|"stable views"| PV["PromotedWidgetView
-(proxy widget)"]
-    PV -->|"resolveDeepest()"| CW["Concrete Widget
-(leaf node)"]
-    PV -->|"reads value"| WVS["WidgetValueStore"]
-```
-
-The manager maintains a `viewCache` to preserve object identity across updates — a reconciliation pattern similar to React's virtual DOM diffing.
+`PromotedWidgetViewManager`
+(`src/lib/litegraph/src/subgraph/PromotedWidgetViewManager.ts`) now reconciles
+synthetic widget views derived from linked subgraph inputs. It does not sit on
+top of a promotion registry.
