FoundationPartial

Accessibility

Keyboard, reading, contrast and motion are part of the design.

System statusPartial

Native elements and Base UI preserve semantics. Visual review does not replace a full accessibility audit.

Current state

Decisions that already exist and can be observed in the product.

3px outline with 3px offset. Tab/Shift+Tab navigation; Enter/Space activation; Escape in overlays.

Errors use text and aria-invalid. Skeletons are hidden from readers; the container announces state.

Prefer 44px actions. Compact variants need extra spacing in touch interfaces.

Visible focus

Use Tab to verify visible focus.

WCAG 2.2 AA

Recommended target; it still needs to become a required checklist.

What is missing

Gaps that prevent this foundation from being a stable rule.

A full screen-reader audit of all component families remains pending.

Next decisions

Recommended order for turning findings into a stable foundation.
