Improved documentation for GeocoderWidget by adding usage preview, missing prop descriptions, and type information. Updated default 'id' and 'label' props in the implementation from 'geolocate'/'Geolocate' to 'geocoder'/'Geocoder' for consistency.
Set the default 'id' prop to 'context' in ContextMenuWidget
Updated StatsWidget documentation to use WidgetPreview and _StatsWidget imports. Added missing id doc
Clarified types and descriptions for 'id', 'style', and 'className' options in the Widget API reference. Improved explanations and added default values
Changed the default id for ViewSelectorWidget from 'view-selector-widget' to 'view-selector' in the implementation. Improved documentation with usage example and clarified id prop.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
@ibgreen Correct me if I'm wrong, but these aren't in the public API yet. Async picker methods are implemented.. but I don't see then exposed yet on Deck.
I think we have two options here.. keep this as an undocumented change for now, or add new pick...Async() to Deck and document it in near pickObject
Refined descriptions and links for new features in the upcoming release, including improved documentation for custom widgets, styling, core API changes, and added details for MapboxOverlay layer slot support.
