Fixed the labels from the dark slate token to the contrast-safe slate token. * Contrast rerun passed across representative dense routes: home, features, blog article, privacy, security, and press. * Mobile menu keyboard behavior had already passed: open, Escape close, outside-click close, and skip-link focus movement at 360px. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/content/PostMeta.astro` - Updated metadata label color to meet contrast expectations. * `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - Added semantic, focus, reduced-motion, and contrast QA evidence. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: fixed repeated metadata-label contrast failure and verified keyboard/focus/semantic checks. * Failure path completeness: contrast issue was fixed and rerun instead of recorded as a blocker. *** ### Task T019 - Validate responsive behavior at target viewports **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:51 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:53 **Duration**: 2 minutes **Notes**: * Browser audit covered 24 first-release routes at 360px, 768px, 1280px, and 1440px. * Initial audit found only the decorative fixed `.site-glow` positioned beyond the viewport. It did not create horizontal scroll, but it violated the no-spill standard. * Fixed `.site-glow` positioning to stay inside the viewport. * Rerun passed with `ok: true`, 24 routes, and all four viewport widths. * Browser checks covered home, features, a blog article, and privacy as representative dense route samples in addition to the full overflow route set. Binary screenshots were not retained so session artifacts stay text-only. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/styles/global.css` - Brought the decorative fixed glow inside the viewport. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: responsive layout no longer includes visible non-content spill. * Failure path completeness: concrete overflow finding was fixed and rerun instead of deferred. *** ### Task T018 - Run typecheck, build, and deterministic link checker **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:51 **Duration**: 2 minutes **Notes**: * `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run typecheck` passed with Node `v26.2.0`. * `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run build` passed and generated 31 static pages plus `sitemap-index.xml`. * `npm --workspace @factionos/public-website run check:links` passed with 31 routes and 2185 links. **Files Changed**: * `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - Added validation evidence. **BQC Fixes**: * Contract alignment: generated routes and deterministic link checks match the static website route/link contract. *** ### Task T017 - Harden terminal-style mockups **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:50 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Made the static label available to assistive technology. * Added article descriptions that connect summary and boundary note. * Switched code samples to wrap long command text while preserving static command context. * Removed viewport-width font scaling from terminal headings. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/marketing/TerminalWindow.astro` - Hardened static labels, descriptions, code wrapping, and heading sizing. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: static sample status and command examples now have explicit labels. * Contract alignment: command content remains static example text and does not imply website execution. *** ### Task T016 - Harden product proof panels **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:50 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added article label/description wiring for each proof panel. * Converted the visual map shell from hidden decoration into a labelled static sample image region. * Added explicit hidden state for decorative node spans. * Removed viewport-width font scaling from proof headings and card titles. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/marketing/ProductProofPanels.astro` - Hardened panel semantics, static-sample labels, wrapping, and fixed heading sizes. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: proof panels expose useful semantics beyond color/tone. * Error information boundaries: static sample and no-live-telemetry boundary remains visible and referenced. *** ### Task T015 - Harden battlefield preview **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added group semantics to the battlefield preview wrapper. * Added descriptive labels to trace and event rows so tone/state is not only visual. * Kept progress meter semantics intact. * Removed viewport-width font scaling from the preview heading. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/marketing/BattlefieldPreview.astro` - Hardened row labels, group semantics, and heading sizing. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: trace/event state is available as text labels, not only color. * Contract alignment: event rows remain labelled as static sample output. *** ### Task T014 - Harden homepage cockpit mockup **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added group semantics and connected the cockpit wrapper to the static boundary note. * Added a labelled static terminal sample region. * Added descriptive labels to terminal rows so prompt, command, response, and provider context are accessible. * Preserved reduced-motion handling for the cockpit scan overlay. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/marketing/HeroCockpit.astro` - Hardened cockpit and terminal sample semantics, row labels, and reduced-motion context. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: static sample context is label-backed and keyboard-safe. * Error information boundaries: homepage mockup remains explicitly sample/static and does not claim live telemetry. *** ### Task T013 - Harden blog/news cards **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added stable article labelling to cards. * Added explicit accessible names to title links. * Added a focus-within structural marker so focus state is not color-only. * Added reduced-motion handling for card hover/focus transforms. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/content/PostCard.astro` - Hardened card labels, link names, focus state, and reduced-motion behavior. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: cards expose ordered headings and keyboard-visible focus. * State freshness on re-entry: reduced-motion users no longer receive card motion transforms. *** ### Task T012 - Harden shared CTA links **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Preserved explicit `ariaLabel` support and visible external `EXT` treatment. * Added wrapping-safe inline-flex behavior for long CTA text. * Added component-level focus-visible styling. * Added reduced-motion handling for shine and hover transforms. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/system/ButtonLink.astro` - Hardened CTA wrapping, focus, external labels, and reduced-motion behavior. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: CTA labels remain explicit, focus visible, and wrapping-safe. * State freshness on re-entry: reduced-motion users receive static CTA hover behavior. *** ### Task T011 - Harden blog/news article layout **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added explicit article labelling to the post layout. * Hardened prose links, code, and preformatted content for keyboard focus and wrapping. * Removed viewport-width font scaling from article body headings. * Added visible focus on article footer collection links. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/layouts/PostLayout.astro` - Hardened article semantics, heading sizing, content wrapping, and footer-link focus. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: article landmark and post title relationship is explicit. * Contract alignment: content wrapping applies to Markdown/MDX output without changing collection contracts. *** ### Task T010 - Harden legal page layout **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added stable legal page title, section labelling, review-state ID, and review-boundary aside semantics. * Connected review boundary copy to review state for assistive technology. * Hardened legal body links, code-like content, lists, and long-copy wrapping. * Preserved pre-review/no-approval legal boundary language. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/layouts/LegalLayout.astro` - Hardened legal review semantics, body wrapping, and focus-visible link behavior. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: legal review state and boundary are semantic and discoverable. * Error information boundaries: legal copy remains clearly pre-review and does not imply approval or hosted workflows. *** ### Task T009 - Harden content page layout **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added stable content page title labelling to shared content sections. * Hardened content body links, lists, code, and preformatted text for wrapping and keyboard-visible focus. * Kept route-specific content inside the shared static layout with no runtime behavior changes. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/layouts/ContentLayout.astro` - Hardened ordered heading flow, section labels, long text wrapping, and content link focus. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: content sections now have explicit title labelling and focus-visible links. * Contract alignment: shared layout changes preserve route metadata and static page contracts. *** ### Task T008 - Harden footer navigation labels, focus, wrapping, contrast, and external link treatment **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:49 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Added stable labels for footer navigation groups with `aria-labelledby`. * Fixed muted footer description color to use an existing contrast-safe token. * Added minimum target height and wrapping for long labels/descriptions. * Preserved visible external labels for demo/docs links and shared focus styling. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/navigation/Footer.astro` - Hardened footer group labels, text wrapping, contrast, and link target sizing. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: footer groups are labelled and link targets are stable for keyboard navigation. * Error information boundaries: static footer boundary copy remains explicit and does not add hosted-service claims. *** ### Task T007 - Harden mobile navigation keyboard behavior, focus management, state reset, labels, and 360px layout **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:47 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:48 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Preserved the existing button semantics, `aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`, and open/close labels. * Added outside-click close behavior and pagehide cleanup for open state and transition timers. * Kept Escape-to-close focus restoration and desktop media-query reset. * Hardened mobile link wrapping and active state with a structural inset marker. * Browser check at 360px passed for open, Escape close, and outside-click close. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/navigation/MobileNavigation.astro` - Added outside close, cleanup, active marker, and small-screen wrapping. **BQC Fixes**: * Resource cleanup: clears the transition timer and closes state on `pagehide`. * State freshness on re-entry: menu state resets on `pageshow`, `pagehide`, and desktop breakpoint changes. * Accessibility and platform compliance: mobile control state and focus behavior remain keyboard-visible and label-backed. *** ### Task T006 - Harden desktop header navigation labels, focus, wrapping, and active state **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:46 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:47 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Preserved existing primary navigation labels and `aria-current` behavior. * Added explicit current-page data state for styling and a non-color-only active marker. * Replaced no-wrap header link behavior with wrapping-safe text alignment so labels do not force overflow before the mobile breakpoint. * Kept external destination labels and visible `EXT` text for demo/docs links. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/navigation/Header.astro` - Hardened active state, focus, labels, and wrapping behavior. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: active state now has a visible structural marker in addition to color/background. * Contract alignment: navigation keeps `aria-current` and shared route labels from the existing navigation data. *** ### Task T005 - Verify base landmarks, main target wiring, title flow, and skip-link focus movement **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:45 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:46 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Verified `BaseLayout.astro` keeps one HTML document shell, metadata/title flow through `Seo.astro`, and no extra landmarks. * Verified `Shell.astro` provides `header`, `main`, and `footer` structure with `main-content` as the skip target. * Added click handling in `SkipLink.astro` so activation scrolls to the target, focuses `main-content`, and updates the hash consistently. * Browser check at 360px passed: first Tab reaches skip link, Enter focuses `main-content`. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/navigation/SkipLink.astro` - Added deterministic skip-link target focus behavior and wrapping-safe styling. * `public-website/src/styles/global.css` - Added main skip-target scroll margin and focus target behavior. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: skip-link activation now moves focus to the main landmark rather than relying on browser hash behavior alone. * Failure path completeness: missing target IDs fall back without throwing client-side errors. *** ### Task T004 - Harden shared responsive, focus, contrast, skip-target, and reduced-motion primitives **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:44 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:45 **Duration**: 1 minute **Notes**: * Replaced global viewport-width font scaling with fixed typography tokens and media-query steps. * Added shared long-text and code wrapping, horizontal clipping protection, main skip-target scroll margin, and consistent focus rounding. * Kept global reduced-motion policy in place so continuous animations are disabled for users requesting reduced motion. * Package typecheck passed after the foundation patch. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/styles/global.css` - Updated global typography, wrapping, focus, skip-target spacing, and reduced-motion primitives. **BQC Fixes**: * Accessibility and platform compliance: focus-visible treatment and skip target spacing are now shared primitives. * State freshness on re-entry: reduced-motion and wrapping rules are global rather than route-local one-offs. *** ### Task T003 - Record initial viewport, keyboard, semantic, contrast, mockup, and motion risk matrix **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:42 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:44 **Duration**: 2 minutes **Notes**: * Viewport risk: 360px is highest risk for long labels, feature matrix cards, terminal code, legal copy, and product proof panels; 768px is highest risk for two-column proof layouts; 1280px and 1440px are highest risk for dense header wrapping and wide mockup grids. * Keyboard/focus risk: mobile menu open/close state, skip-link target focus, card links, footer links, article navigation, and terminal documentation links require explicit validation. * Heading/landmark risk: shared layouts already provide one `main`, route sections, and visible `h1` patterns, but content, legal, and publishing pages need heading-order validation after source edits. * Contrast risk: tactical slate body text, muted footer descriptions, small code-style labels, warning/critical chips, and tone-based proof cards require browser-visible checks. * Mockup semantics risk: terminal samples, battlefield state, product proof maps, and feature matrices must remain clearly static/sample and not rely on color alone. * Reduced-motion risk: global scanline, pulse ring, cockpit scan, hover transforms, and panel transitions must have reduced-motion equivalents that preserve static labels. * Launch blocker placeholders: none open after setup; any unresolved issue found during manual QA will be recorded with route, viewport, reproduction, impact, and owner/session handoff. **Initial Risk Matrix**: | Area | Initial Risk | Planned Evidence | | ----------------------- | ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | 360px responsive layout | High | Browser viewport pass across representative routes | | 768px responsive layout | Medium | Browser viewport pass across dense grid routes | | 1280px/1440px layout | Medium | Header, hero, and mockup checks | | Keyboard and focus | High | Tab, Enter, Escape, skip-link, and mobile menu checks | | Headings and landmarks | Medium | DOM heading/landmark audit script | | Accessible names | Medium | Link/control accessible-name audit script plus manual spot checks | | Contrast | Medium | Token/code review plus browser-visible spot checks | | Non-color-only state | Medium | Static labels, badges, boundaries, and state text audit | | Mockup semantics | High | Product mockup source review and route checks | | Reduced motion | Medium | Browser reduced-motion emulation and CSS review | | Static privacy boundary | Medium | Source scan for disallowed runtime behavior | **Launch Blockers**: * None open at setup completion. **Files Changed**: * `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - Added initial risk matrix and launch-blocker placeholders. **BQC Fixes**: * Failure path completeness: defined launch-blocker capture fields before QA so unresolved defects are visible instead of silently deferred. *** ### Task T002 - Inventory responsive and accessibility coverage surface **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:40 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:42 **Duration**: 2 minutes **Notes**: * Route inventory covers home, product, features, how-it-works, use-cases hub, four use-case role pages, security, blog index, blog articles, news index, news articles, investors, about, contact, press, roadmap, FAQ, legal index, privacy, terms, acceptable use, RSS, and build-generated sitemap output. * Shared layout inventory covers `BaseLayout.astro`, `Shell.astro`, `Section.astro`, `ContentLayout.astro`, `LegalLayout.astro`, and `PostLayout.astro`. * Navigation inventory covers `SkipLink.astro`, `Header.astro`, `MobileNavigation.astro`, `Footer.astro`, primary navigation, mobile utility navigation, footer groups, external demo/docs links, and mailto contact links. * CTA inventory covers `ButtonLink.astro`, route hero CTAs, footer links, feature matrix links, terminal documentation links, blog/news index cards, article footer links, and collection navigation. * Publishing inventory covers `PostCard.astro`, `PostMeta.astro`, `TagList.astro`, `PublishingNav.astro`, `RelatedPosts.astro`, blog collection entries, and news collection entries. * Product mockup inventory covers `HeroCockpit.astro`, `LiveStatusPanel.astro`, `BattlefieldPreview.astro`, `BattlefieldMap.astro`, `ProductProofPanels.astro`, `TerminalWindow.astro`, feature matrix cards, and route-specific static proof panels. * Static privacy boundary remains unchanged: no analytics, trackers, cookies, hosted forms, auth, CMS adapter, server rendering, WebSockets, EventSource, runtime data collection, or third-party embeds. **Files Changed**: * `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - Added route, layout, navigation, CTA, publishing, legal, and product mockup inventory. **BQC Fixes**: * Contract alignment: inventory ties route coverage to the shared components and static privacy boundaries the implementation must preserve. *** ### Task T001 - Verify prerequisites, dependencies, scripts, startup, and routes **Started**: 2026-06-02 02:37 **Completed**: 2026-06-02 02:40 **Duration**: 3 minutes **Notes**: * Verified the spec system state, current session, package context, package manifest, Astro version, Node baseline availability, and local dev startup. * Confirmed Phase 13-15 sessions are complete in state and Phase 16 Session 01 is the active current session. * Fixed an existing parse error in `FeatureMatrix.astro` that prevented `/features/` from rendering during the setup route sweep. * Treated `/sitemap-index.xml` as build-output validation rather than dev-server route availability because the sitemap integration emits generated files during build. **Files Changed**: * `public-website/src/components/marketing/FeatureMatrix.astro` - Restored quoted `"export"` object key so Astro can parse the feature matrix. * `.spec_system/specs/phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening/implementation-notes.md` - Added environment and route evidence. **BQC Fixes**: * Failure path completeness: resolved a setup route render failure instead of recording it as deferred. *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
