State matrix
Every declared state and combination, statically rendered; the default cell is live. Sizes: compact, comfortable (switch with the density control above).
| State | Default |
|---|---|
default | |
loading | |
error |
Purpose
Identifies a person or entity; the caller owns the image.
Anatomy
Parts as listed in the anatomy.
States
| State | Visual | Non-colour channel |
|---|---|---|
| default | Initials or the loaded image. | Full name on the image container. |
| loading | Fallback stays visible. | Full accessible name kept. |
| error | Fallback stays visible. | Full accessible name kept. |
Keyboard
As in the key table; nothing is bound.
Accessibility
One full accessible name, never announced twice by image alt and fallback
text; initials alone do not identify a person. A decorative avatar beside an
equivalent visible name may be aria-hidden.
Portability
Follows the shared component defaults in spec/portability.md (section
“Shared component defaults”).
Non-examples
Unlabelled controls, color-only status, drag-only operations, hidden required instructions, stolen focus or an invented service success.
Contrast report
5 declared pairs measured on resolved sRGB values with the WCAG 2.x formula; 0 waived (decorative only), 0 failing. A pass is a design target for the named role, not an application-wide conformance claim.
