## Files

### `c-marker-6.tsx`

```tsx
"use client"

import { useState } from "react"

import {
  Marker,
  MarkerContent,
  MarkerIcon,
} from "@/components/ui/marker"
import { IconPlaceholder } from "@/app/(create)/components/icon-placeholder"

// render REPLACES the row rather than wrapping it, so the marker's own classes
// land on the anchor and the primitive's link treatment comes for free. A
// button gets no such treatment, which is why only the button carries a hover.
//
// The button toggles real state and the row rewrites itself, because a control
// that only looks clickable is a decorative control. That is the one reason
// this file is a client component.
//
// The icon swap is two complete elements behind a ternary instead of one
// element with a computed name, because every library prop has to stay a
// literal string for the registry installer to rewrite it.
