Add interactive questionnaire editor and typed save payloads

 Without an `onSave` handler the renderer operates in memory, emits `Changed`
 events, and does not advance a server revision. With a handler it emits `Saved`
 after success or `Blocked` on failure. Events contain transport-independent
-`data` (changes, resume position, revision, trigger), not HTTP requests.
+`data`, not HTTP requests. Requests and events have a `kind`: `changes` requests
+carry `changes` without a resume position; `focus` requests carry `resume`
+without answer changes. Both include `revision` and `trigger`. A save that
+updates answers and position sends two serialized requests, using the revision
+acknowledged by the first request for the second. The demo displays them in
+separate Changes and Focus lists.
+Each answer in `changes` and in the resume editor's `answers` uses a typed
+entry, for example `"dateOfBirth": { "type": "date", "value": "1992-03-04" }`.
+Cleared answers retain their field type with `value: null`. `parseResumeDraft`
+validates typed entries and also accepts older drafts containing plain values.
 `SaveResponse` contains only the confirmed revision.
 
 The built-in file input requires `onUpload(questionId, files)` for nonempty
