Best practices for Velt Area Comments — the rectangle area-annotation feature that lets users draw a region on the page and attach a comment thread to it (Figma-style 'draw a box and comment'). Use whenever the user is toggling area comments on or off (areaComment prop on VeltComments, or commentElement.enableAreaComment / disableAreaComment), customizing the area pin via the velt-area-pin-portal-wireframe tag, binding componentConfig.areaPinAnnotation / componentConfig.selected / componentConfig.isResizing / componentConfig.hideAreaAnnotation template variables, or reading the AreaAnnotation data model (annotationId, from, targetElements, areaProperties, targetAnnotations linking back to comments). Trigger on any task involving Velt area comments, rectangle annotations on documents, draw-a-box-and-comment UI, area pin customization, or the AreaAnnotation / AreaProperty / AreaTargetAnnotation shapes — even if the user does not explicitly say 'Velt' or 'area comments'.
