Walkthrough

The design-system document is reformatted. It adds an accessibility checklist and renumbers the motion-design section. Existing token values, component descriptions, and motion settings remain unchanged.

Changes: Design system documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Design-system content and accessibility checklist
docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md
The token examples and component reference table are reformatted. Existing content is spaced or repositioned. A checklist covers contrast, keyboard navigation, focus rings, icon labels, touch targets, and screen-reader state. The motion-design section is renumbered.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~4 minutes

Change: Other

Possibly related issues

  • TheVicky1/Pact_OS#279: The checklist documents a contrast requirement for dark-mode tokens, but this change does not add automated contrast checks.

Possibly related PRs

  • TheVicky1/Pact_OS#707: This PR documents screen-reader state requirements for toggles, which overlaps with the toggle accessibility behavior addressed by PR #707.

Suggested labels: area:developer-experience

Merge Risk: Low · up to 28890

The checklist can miss contrast problems and reject some accessible keyboard patterns. These documentation gaps merit follow-up but do not change runtime behavior.

Architecture risk: Low · up to 28890

The change affects 1 system.

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #731 requires an interactive checklist with six accessibility topics, good and bad Tailwind examples, and validation with node scratch/check-links.mjs. docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md includes the six topics and interactive checkboxes. It does not include paired good and bad Tailwind examples. The PR description reports npm test, but does not establish that node scratch/check-links.mjs ran.

Resolution

Add good and bad Tailwind accessibility examples. Run node scratch/check-links.mjs and record the result.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR reformats existing design-token CSS examples and the component reference table, and adds spacing throughout existing sections. These changes do not implement issue #731. Renumbering the motion section is related to adding the checklist.

Resolution

Revert the unrelated CSS, table, and whitespace formatting changes. Keep the checklist and the related section renumbering.

🟡 Changes recommended

The accessibility checklist omits the required aria-checked state for switches and should distinguish it from aria-pressed for toggle buttons and aria-expanded for accordion triggers.

- Line 265: Update the Color Contrast checklist item to also require at least a
3:1 contrast ratio for necessary control boundaries, states, and meaningful
graphics, alongside the existing text contrast thresholds.
- Line 267: Update the Keyboard Navigation requirement in the design system to
specify keyboard access using keys appropriate to each widget, allowing
composite widgets such as radio groups to use a single Tab stop with arrow-key
navigation instead of requiring every element to be Tab-reachable.
- Line 269: Update the Focus Rings checklist in the design-system documentation
with contrasting good and bad Tailwind examples: show a high-visibility
replacement for removing the outline and a bad example that uses outline-none
without one. Keep the examples focused on the existing audit guidance.
- Line 275: Update the Screen Reader State checklist item to specify the correct
state property for each control: accordion controls use aria-expanded, toggle
buttons use aria-pressed, and Switches use aria-checked or a native checkbox’s
checked state. Do not present these properties as interchangeable.

Check text contrast on every background.

The primary Button uses a gold background. The checklist can pass without checking its text contrast.

Suggested fix

-- [ ] **Color Contrast**: Text on obsidian surfaces must achieve at least a **4.5:1** contrast ratio (or **3:1** for large 18pt+ headings).
+- [ ] **Color Contrast**: Text must achieve at least a **4.5:1** contrast ratio against its background (or **3:1** for large 18pt+ headings).

Update the Color Contrast checklist in the design-system documentation to require the specified contrast ratios for text against its background, rather than limiting the requirement to obsidian surfaces.
