Ok

- ComponentRegistryComponentOverview — Read projection of a component, enriched with the display name taken from the latest non-archived version. Returned by endpoints that exist to display components (the listing endpoint and the single-component fetch); write/state-transition endpoints return `ComponentMetadata`.
  - `componentReference` string — Reference to a component. Components are organized into a group hierarchy which serves as a qualification mechanism to avoid collisions and also to group components semantically. The fully qualified reference of a component follows the following syntax: `[component_group]:[component]`.
  - `componentType` 'DATA_TYPE' | 'METHOD' | 'WORKFLOW_TYPE' | 'PHYSICS_AI_MODEL' | 'ENGINEERING_AI_AGENT'
  - `name` string, nullable
  - `state` 'ACTIVE' | 'ARCHIVED' — Possible states of a component.
