Does item-level type affect placement, or is it only a label?

[dninomiya]

Hi,

I’d like to clarify the role of the item-level type in registry-item.json.

From my understanding:

• File-level type (inside the files array) controls placement and behavior. For example, registry:page files go into the app/.../page.tsx path, registry:hook files go into the hooks directory, etc.
• Item-level type (e.g. registry:block, registry:component, etc.) seems to serve only as a label or classification for the whole item, and does not actually affect where the files are placed.

However, the documentation could be read as if the item-level type determines placement as well.

Question

Can you confirm if the following understanding is correct?

• Item-level type is purely a label and does not influence file placement.
• Placement is determined entirely by the file-level type (and target).

If this is correct, it might help to explicitly clarify this distinction in the docs to avoid confusion.

Thanks!
