Lifecycle hooks are part of the JavaScript library, not the React component.

The mocks property isn't officially supported. Mocks are currently handled by the mock service worker.

I see, so the mocks property can be removed?

I was looking back at the mock-api example, should it be updated as well? - https://github.com/NMFS-RADFish/boilerplate/tree/main/examples/mock-api

This entire section may be better moved to the JavaScript library documentation rather than under the container code.

Remove this for documentation usage. Just use <Application /> component.

This is too indirect for component documentation.

It just needs to demonstrate:

const myApp = new Application(/*...*/);

// ...

<Application application={myApp} />

It would be clearer to explain this section without using App.js file. It's a little too indirect. The documentation shouldn't be imposing patterns that we use in the templates.
