MARKLESS_FRAMEWORK_API_ALIAS_UNSUPPORTED
A Markless function was copied into a variable or passed around as a value.
Error from the compiler, while it builds your .tsrx files.
What happened
The compiler only rewrites calls that use the imported name. A copy like const make = state gives it nothing to rewrite.
Markless prints the message, the reason, and a suggestion:
MARKLESS_FRAMEWORK_API_ALIAS_UNSUPPORTED: `<declarationKind> <localName> = <apiName>` copies the framework API `<apiName>` into a plain variable. `<localName>(5)` would not create graph state — the compiler only rewrites calls made through the imported name.
<apiName>() is compiled away into graph cells; it has no runtime function value that an alias could call.
Call the imported API directly — before: `const makeState = state; let x = makeState(5);` — after: `let x = state(5);`. For a reusable initialization pattern, wrap the VALUE, not the API (`const defaults = () => ({ open: false }); const menu = state(defaults());`).

How to fix it
Call the imported function by its own name. If you want a reusable start value, wrap the value, not the function.
const defaults = () => ({ open: false });
const menu = state(defaults());Where it comes from
