# PDIAP-12284 - Remove UIKit wrapping from XFlow

## Status

- Reopened after rollback.
- Quy already moved this story into the next sprint (`26Q2.6`); leave it in To Do until the sprint starts on Thursday.
- Jeff directed David to do this UIKit-removal work and `PDIAP-15836` dismissal/lifecycle work in the same branch because both are disruptive enough to require consumer testing.

---

## Context

- This is the original story for removing the UIKit wrapping.
- Current relationship to track: `PDIAP-12284` should be handled with `PDIAP-15836` in the same implementation branch. David identified a possible minimal `PDIAP-15836` fix path that does not require removing `UIHostingController`, but Jeff prefers combined branch work because both changes require consumer testing.

## Historical Slack Context

- November 21, 2025 Slack context says David created `PDIAP-12284` and `PDIAP-12285` to cover remaining UIKit-removal work inside XFlow after reviewing open Sendable and XFlowViewMaker-track stories.
- That same backlog refinement closed out pending XFlowViewMaker stories that were no longer needed.
- Current Mattermost context supersedes the old standalone refinement framing: this story is now reopened after rollback and should be handled together with `PDIAP-15836`.

## Sequencing

- Work can begin, but merge/release should wait until the REST-transition consumer-validation window has completed.
- Keep the implementation branch up to date with `main` while waiting for approval to work with consumers and merge.
