- Fixed context manager attribute access for all container components
### API Consistency
- All components support NiceGUI-style method chaining
- Consistent `.classes()`, `.props()`, `.style()` method support
- Proper context manager patterns: `with bg.component() as name:` → `name.classes()`

## 🎯 Key Usage Patterns Established
### Context Manager Excellence
```python
# ✅ Correct pattern (now documented and examples provided)
with bg.card() as my_card:
my_card.classes("q-ma-md")
with bg.card_section():
bg.label("Content")
```
### Responsive Design
```python
# Overflow prevention with proper flex utilities
with bg.row() as grid:
grid.classes("q-gutter-md wrap") # Prevents overflow
with bg.card() as card:
card.classes("col-12 col-sm-6 col-md-4") # Responsive breakpoints
```
### Material Design Integration
```python
# Full Material Design icon support
bg.icon("home", size="2rem", color="primary")
bg.image("https://example.com/image.jpg").classes("rounded-lg full-width")
```
