+0.2.4 adds Badge, Spinner, Skeleton and Avatar. Read references/composition.md and references/accessibility.md for status announcements, fallback geometry and decorative naming. Button loading reuses Spinner. These APIs are not present in 0.2.3.
+
+Progress, Meter and Alert are also available in 0.2.4. Distinguish task completion from bounded measurements, preserve names/units, and select alert announcement priority explicitly.
+
+DescriptionList and Table are also available in 0.2.4. Preserve native description-list/table structure, table captions and header relationships. Range of displayed data and formatting remain host-owned; DataTable behavior is outside these primitives.
+
+Menu adds a real action-menu keyboard contract in 0.2.4; it reuses the layer engine and ScrollArea while remaining distinct from Select and Popover. onAction business effects belong to the host.
+
+### Toolbar and Kbd (0.2.4)
+
+Toolbar groups Button, IconButton, Toggle, native buttons/links and Menu triggers
+under one named action panel. After hydration it uses one Tab entry, directional
+arrows, Home/End and optional looping. Disabled/hidden actions are skipped. Arrows
+move focus, not activation. Horizontal order follows writing direction. In vertical
+toolbars open Menu with Enter/Space; horizontal menus retain Up/Down opening.
+Keep text inputs and independent selection widgets outside this action-only API.
+Native child handlers and refs remain attached; Toolbar owns their tabIndex while
+mounted and restores original attributes on cleanup. Without JavaScript, native
+child Tab order remains available. Use a meaningful required label.
+
+Kbd renders native kbd markup with sm/md/lg sizes and relative keycap heights.
+It displays a key or combination; the host implements real shortcuts. It is not
+interactive. Menu shortcut hints reuse Kbd and remain hidden from item names.
+
+```tsx
+<Toolbar label="Editor actions">
+  <Button variant="ghost">Undo</Button>
+  <Toggle variant="ghost">Bold</Toggle>
+  <Button variant="ghost">Share</Button>
+</Toolbar>
+<Kbd>Ctrl</Kbd> + <Kbd>K</Kbd>
+```
+
+### Card (0.2.4)
+
+Card composes Surface into a header, body and footer. Optional title, description,
+actions and footer accept React content; children are the body. Missing slots
+create no empty section. Use Surface when only a background/padding is needed.
+
+Card is a noninteractive div. Put Button, Link or Menu in actions/footer and keep
+its container out of the Tab order. Do not make the entire card clickable around
+nested controls. Native div props, styles and HTMLDivElement ref target the root.
+The title prop is heading content, not an HTML tooltip; supply phrasing content.
+headingLevel defaults to 2; choose the correct hierarchy for the host page.
+
+Compact/comfortable density controls existing spacing tokens. Header actions wrap
+without clipping menus or focus indicators. Footer uses a quiet separator; a
+footer-only card has no redundant separator. Elevation is default or raised.
+No data access, selection or interactive-card behavior is implied.
+
+```tsx
+<Card title="Project details" description="Keep your team in sync."
+  footer={<Button variant="subtle">Open project</Button>}>
+  <Text as="p" size="compact">A calm place for the next idea.</Text>
+</Card>
+```
+
+## Structural, media and accessible primitives · 0.2.4
+
+Container centers a max-width box with logical gutters. size sm/md/lg uses
+40/64/80rem bounds including padding; full removes the max. gutter uses Space.
+Grid defaults to auto-fit with a16rem semantic minimum clamped to available
+width. gap uses Space. minItemWidth overrides the auto minimum; explicit columns
+(1/2/3/4/6/12) remain fixed. Grid is ordinary layout, never an ARIA grid widget.
+
+VisuallyHidden preserves content in the accessibility tree using span/div. Default
+is for noninteractive content. Use focusable for a skip link: focus-within reveals
+its wrapper; style the actual link's focus. This is different from aria-hidden or
+conditional rendering. Native captions/legends may use the same hiding utility
+without an invalid generic wrapper. Spinner and hidden indicator captions compose
+VisuallyHidden. Field hideLabel and Fieldset hideLabel use focusable hiding so
+valid interactive label/legend descendants reveal their label while focused;
+keep primary actions visible in ordinary compositions.
+
+AspectRatio reserves responsive media geometry before loading, accepting a finite
+positive ratio (16/9 default). Direct img/video/iframe children fill its box. It
+does not clip focus or make arbitrary long content fit; the host owns alternative
+text, captions, media controls and deliberate cropping. Image is a native img
+with required alt (empty for decorative content), cover/contain fit and preserved
+srcSet/sizes/loading/decoding/dimensions/events/ref. No optimizer, fetch engine or
+fallback is implied. Avatar composes Image for its own loading lifecycle. Supply
+image dimensions or AspectRatio to reserve space.
+
+List renders native ul/ol with native li children and token gap. ordered selects
+ol; start/reversed apply there. start must be a safe integer. marker=false retains
+explicit list semantics for platforms that drop lists without visible markers.
+This is content, not ListBox selection or arrow navigation.
+
+EmptyState composes Stack, Heading, Text, IconSlot and Inline. Required title,
+optional description, decorative icon and actions explain absent content; choose
+headingLevel for the host hierarchy. It is static, with no automatic focus or
+announcement. compact/comfortable density controls padding. The host implements
+real actions and decides whether asynchronously changed results need announcing.
+
+Checkbox adds indeterminate for a host-controlled mixed presentation after
+hydration. checked independently determines form submission; mixed does not mean
+a third submitted value. The host owns aggregate/select-all values. Native reset
+and ref access remain available. Radio and Switch do not expose indeterminate.
+
+ButtonGroup/ToggleGroup retain their keyboard contracts and locally scroll when
+a connected row cannot fit. InputGroup actions keep words intact and can wrap to
+a new row while the input retains usable space. Plain string adornments are bidi
+isolated; for protocols/phones with explicit direction pass a bdi dir=ltr node.
+Keep very long addon content concise. Hidden native choices hide their label too.
+
+Dark foundations bundle both normal and italic Inter, including Cyrillic, with
+original OFL notices. Color alone never communicates validation or progress.
+
+CodeSnippet codeDirection defaults to ltr independently of RTL parent action layout; choose rtl/auto explicitly for content that needs it. Native dir still applies to the wrapper. Protected ScrollArea reveals focused descendants fully when needed, composes the host focus handler and avoids scrolling to nested top-layer controls.
+
+Checkbox, Radio and Switch apply native hidden/dir/lang to their visible label wrapper as well as the input, so a component-local language/direction applies to its whole choice.

Unknown Progress omits aria-valuenow; Meter has no unknown state. Alert defaults to silent static content; opt into announcement=polite (status) or assertive (alert) only for the required urgency. Do not move focus to these messages or claim every screen reader announces initial markup. Verify with actual assistive technology.
+

Table needs a meaningful caption (hideCaption keeps its name) and host-owned header associations; never convert table rows into display:block cards without preserving relationships. Name the horizontal scroll viewport, retain keyboard scrolling and check that focusable cell controls remain reachable. Native table ref points to table, not viewport.

+## Metadata, loading and identity · 0.2.4
+
+Use Badge for noninteractive metadata with meaningful text. Spinner is indeterminate loading; use decorative inside a control already named by its owner. Button loading already composes it. Skeleton reserves geometry and is always hidden from AT; the host owns aria-busy and loading text. Avatar requires name and supports src/fallback; choose decorative beside an equivalent visible name. Keep image and fallback geometry fixed. None of these primitives fetch data or provide upload behavior.
+
+
+Progress is task completion; omit value for unknown progress. Meter is a bounded measurement and always requires value. Both need label and finite increasing ranges; invalid values throw. Use valueText for localized units and hideLabel for visually hidden captions. Wrapper refs and native div props do not replace the internal range semantics. Alert is inline feedback: title optional, host actions inside children, icon=null to omit artwork. Tone and announcement are independent. No task manager, validation engine, automatic dismissal or Toast queue is supplied. Available in 0.2.4.
+
+
+DescriptionList uses native dl/dt/dd for related readonly properties; use unique item IDs, meaningful term text and formatted description content. Inline layout stacks according to container width; it does not label editable controls. Table owns caption and a horizontal Flood ScrollArea. Supply native table sections and correct th scope/id/headers relationships; className/style/ref target the actual table. Use data-numeric for numeric cells and style.minWidth for wide tables. Cell actions stay ordinary focusable controls; do not imply DataTable sorting, selection or fetching. Available in 0.2.4.
+
+
+Menu is a dedicated action-menu contract, not Popover with arbitrary buttons. Forward supplied trigger props/ref to Button/IconButton. Use unique IDs and nonempty labels; separators are noninteractive, disabled items discoverable but inert, danger is visual intent only. onAction requests closing then calls host logic. No href, submenu or checkbox/radio behavior is supplied. Items/shortcuts do not install global key bindings. Place Table row actions inside a cell, with an IconButton name that includes the row identity. Available in 0.2.4.
+
+Toolbar groups actions with one Tab entry after hydration. Use Button/IconButton/Toggle, native buttons/links and Menu triggers. Arrows move focus; Enter/Space activate the native control. Keep independent selection widgets and text fields outside this action-only toolbar. In a vertical toolbar Enter/Space opens Menu; Up/Down remain toolbar navigation. Use Kbd for display-only keyboard hints and implement actual bindings in the host. Available in 0.2.4.
+
+Card is structured Surface containment: title/description/header actions, body children and footer. Missing slots add no empty sections. Choose compact/comfortable density; preserve the tight title-description relationship. Use appropriate headingLevel. Keep root noninteractive and place named controls inside, never a card-wide click handler around nested actions. Use Surface for unstructured containment.
+
+Compose lower-level responsibilities: Container/Grid and Stack/Inline arrange; Surface contains; Card structures; Image/AspectRatio reserve media; List preserves native li. EmptyState composes the shared typography/icon/action atoms. Use VisuallyHidden for supplemental noninteractive text or focusable reveal for skip links. Do not replace native caption/legend structures with generic wrappers solely for reuse. Mixed Checkbox is host-owned aggregation, with checked still controlling submission.
