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 | This workspace uses synthetic local data. |
open | |
closed | |
focus-visible |
Purpose
Supporting content beside its trigger that never blocks the page.
Anatomy
Parts as listed in the anatomy.
States
| State | Visual | Non-colour channel |
|---|---|---|
| default | Named trigger. Its buttons are the secondary button (button.md). | Button semantics and accessible name. |
| open | Square overlay surface and border. | aria-expanded=true; panel is reachable. |
| closed | Panel hidden. | aria-expanded=false; hidden controls leave focus order. |
| focus-visible | Dashed focus ring. | Native keyboard focus. |
Keyboard
As in the key table.
Accessibility
Keep essential instructions outside collapsed panels. Name the panel with a
visible label or aria-label. No aria-modal and no focus trap. Native
automatic dismissal and the fallback both synchronise the expanded state.
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
7 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.
