+# Craft floor, responsive matrix and the probe loop
+
+This reference and `references/slop-register.md` load whenever `frontend-ui-ux` activates, in
+every mode. They are the numbered rule catalogue the interface probe measures and the review
+table cites. Rule ids (`CF-*`, `RS-*`, `SLOP-*`) are stable family ids; cite the id, not a
+paraphrase of the number. Thresholds live once, as data, in `scripts/interface-probe-rules.mjs`;
+the tables below restate them for reading, and the rule table wins if the two ever differ.
+
+## 1. Run the probe
+
+Run the probe from the exact installed skill directory against the page you built or were asked
+to review. It accepts an HTML file, a project directory (it prefers `dist/`, `build/` or `out/`
+over an unbuilt source page) or an `http(s)` URL:
+
+```bash
+FRONTEND_UIUX_SKILL_ROOT="<directory containing the selected installed SKILL.md>"
+node "$FRONTEND_UIUX_SKILL_ROOT/scripts/interface-probe.mjs" "<page.html | project dir | URL>" --out "<evidence dir>"
+```
+
+What it does, in order:
+
+1. Asks the `browser-drive` capability probe for a verified `agent-browser`. It never installs,
+   downloads or updates a browser. A missing, unidentified or uncleaned driver is a `BLOCKED`
+   run, not a pass.
+2. Serves a local page from `127.0.0.1` on a free port (never `file://`), then opens it once per
+   matrix row: 320, 390, 768 and 1440 px in light mode; 390 px dark; 390 px with reduced motion;
+   and 1440 px at 200 % zoom, emulated as a 720 × 450 CSS px viewport at double scale
+   (`zoom_emulation: viewport-halved`, which reproduces reflow but not zoomed text rasterising).
+3. Waits 1200 ms, checks that the page finished loading (one extra wait, then the viewport is
+   recorded as not settled), runs the in-page measurement module, and saves one screenshot per
+   row under `<evidence dir>/screenshots/`. At 1440 px it then hovers up to five repeated list
+   controls for real (CF-506). It never clicks, presses or submits anything; `alert`, `confirm`
+   and `prompt` are stubbed before the first read, and content behind closed disclosures is
+   counted under Not verified instead of being opened.
+4. Writes `<evidence dir>/findings.json` (`{ manifest, findings }`, each finding naming exactly
+   one rule id) and prints the review table below.
+
+Exit codes are the contract: **0** all seven matrix rows ran and no measured or derived HIGH
+finding remains; **1** at least one measured or derived HIGH finding remains (this wins over a
+missing row); **2** `BLOCKED: <reason>` on one line (`browser unavailable`, `browser identity
+unverified`, `browser cleanup failed`, `no entry page found`, `matrix incomplete (<rows>)`). A
+`not_verified` finding never sets exit 1. A blocked run still reads the source files for the
+rules a file can show on its own (a literal match keeps its own tier, with `viewport: static` and
+a `file:line`), and lists every rendered rule under "Not verified". Say `BLOCKED` in the reply;
+never describe it as a pass.
+
+Rules marked *judgment* below are DET-assist: a hit is printed under "Judgment calls" as a
+candidate, never as a finding, and its severity applies only after you confirm it with a stated
+reason (tag it Inferred).
+
+Budget: at most 20 s per viewport and 180 s per run; 12 findings per rule per viewport; 3,000
+elements and 4,000 characters of copy sampled; five controls per viewport for the focus, press
+and hover samples. A viewport the budget skips is not verified.
+
+## 2. The loop
+
+Every mode that edits runs the same loop:
+
+```
+build (or baseline) -> probe -> fix -> probe -> fix -> probe -> fix -> final probe
+                      \__________ at most three fix rounds __________/
+```
+
+- **Fix in the cheaper order.** Delete the offending element or rule first; then use a platform
+  feature instead of custom code; then reuse a token or component the project already has; then
+  correct the value in place; add new code last.
+- **Re-run the whole probe** after each round, not only the rules you touched. A fix that clears
+  one HIGH and adds another is caught by the same battery.
+- **HIGH blocks "done".** Fix every HIGH first, then MEDIUM. A HIGH still present after three
+  rounds may only ship as a limitation stated once in the reply, with its reason (for example
+  "hero heading over a photograph, CF-204 not verified, no safe repaint"). MEDIUM and LOW never
+  block by themselves.
+- **Thresholds do not move.** Never edit a number, add an exception or change a fixture to make a
+  page pass; fix the page or state the limitation. A reviewer's or judge's wording never drives a
+  fix round.
+- **Tier every claim.** *Measured* means read straight off the render (a computed style, a
+  bounding box, a scroll width). *Derived* means computed from measured values (a WCAG ratio from
+  two sampled colours) or read through a named approximation (a stylesheet `:active` rule instead
+  of a real press). *Inferred* is a judgment (every `judgment:` note and every checklist row
+  below). Never phrase an inferred value as measured. A derived value built on a missing or stale
+  measurement drops to inferred. *Not verified* is its own state: the check did not run.
+- **Look at the screenshots** for 320, 390 and 1440 before claiming the page works; the probe
+  measures rules, it does not see a composition.
+
+## 3. Modes
+
+`build` is the default. The other three are opt-in by wording and nest inside this skill's
+existing mode matrix: `polish` and `harden` are scoped kinds of `build`; `audit` is a probe-driven
+kind of the read-only review row.
+
+| Mode | Edits | Probe | Deliverable |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `build` | Full authoring of the requested surface | At least the final round; after every round is better | Working source, the inspected matrix, the review table, a tiered summary |
+| `polish` | Values only (spacing, colour, radius, type size, a motion token); no new component, no changed layout or information architecture | Once as a baseline, once after the fixes | A value-only diff and the before and after tables |
+| `audit` | None, not even a "quick" fix | The probe run is the deliverable | The review table, the Not verified list and the Block or Approve line |
+| `harden` | Only to repair a break the stress pass found; three rounds at most | At every harden axis that applies | A table per axis with the columns Scenario, Observed and Owner, plus the fixes |
+
+Mode words (the hook names the mode it detected; the wording and the boundary decide together):
+
+- `polish`: *polish*, *clean up the styling*, *tighten up*, *다듬어*, or an explicit "keep the
+  layout / 구조는 그대로" scope, when the object is an interface surface. A request that asks for
+  a new component or a changed layout under polish wording is a `build`.
+- `audit`: *audit*, *read-only*, *just check*, *tell me what's wrong*, *점검*, *검토만* on an
+  interface surface, with no fix requested in the same breath. The route words alone select it;
+  no memory of earlier work is needed. `audit` produces the review table as evidence and hands
+  the acceptance verdict to `visual-qa`; it never issues that verdict itself. A request that only
+  needs proof and carries no audit word still belongs to `visual-qa` directly.
+- `harden`: *harden*, *stress-test*, *hold up under / with*, *robust to*, *튼튼하게*,
+  *견고하게* on an interface surface.
+- Never widened toward video, 영상, 모션 or 발표 wording; those belong to other skills. Prose,
+  documents, servers and pipelines never trigger polish, audit or harden.
+
+**Harden axes.** Name each axis and either run it or write "not applicable: <reason>":
+content length (empty, one word, typical, several sentences, one unbreakable string); content
+shape (emoji, right-to-left, mixed direction, diacritics and tall scripts, aligned numbers);
+quantity (zero, one, realistic, about ten times realistic); container (320 px, squeezed by a
+sibling, very wide); state (loading, error, disabled); environment (dark mode, zoom, reduced
+motion, each toggled live).
+
+## 4. Review format
+
+One table, exact column order, every row a real measurement:
+
+| Severity | Rule | Where | Measured | Fix |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW | a `CF-*`, `RS-*` or `SLOP-*` id | `selector @ viewport` (or `file:line` for a static finding) | the read value and its tier, e.g. `2.9:1 [derived]`, `18×18px [measured]` | the cheapest fix; only `build`, `polish` and `harden` may apply it |
+
+Then a **Not verified** list naming every rule that did not run and why (blocked browser, image
+under text, another element painted over text, cross-origin stylesheet or iframe, closed
+disclosures, a lazy image not fetched, a harden axis without a cue). A rule missing from both the table and the list is a defect in the review itself. End with
+**Block** (a HIGH remains that is neither fixed nor stated as a limitation) or **Approve**.
+
+These HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW labels only grade probe findings. When a finding moves into
+`references/evidence-review.md` or `references/inclusive-interface.md`, a HIGH maps to at least
+P1 or S2 there; the probe does not rename those ladders. The table is evidence for `visual-qa`,
+never its verdict.
+
+**Always HIGH once confirmed**, never downgraded for a small surface or a prototype: a control
+with no accessible name; a keyboard-reachable control with no visible focus; a pointer-only
+control; motion that ignores reduced motion; content clipped, overlapped or unreachable at 320 px
+or 200 % zoom; text under its contrast floor; page-level sideways scrolling; a fake text, nav or
+call-to-action link (`href="#"`, `javascript:`; a logo or icon-only social link is MEDIUM); a
+scroll rail whose next item shows 0 px with no controls, pager or fade. Four more are judgment calls, stated as *Inferred*: meaning carried
+by colour alone; a destructive action with no confirmation or undo; an error that names no way to
+recover; a semantic colour token used for an unrelated meaning. Truncated text is HIGH only when
+the hidden value is needed for a task. The probe opens nothing; open drawers, accordions, tabs and
+dialogs yourself before calling content unreachable.
+
+**Reviewing a change.** Read the removed side of each hunk first: a dropped `aria-label`,
+`aria-labelledby` or `role`; a `button`, `nav` or `label` turned into a `div`; a removed
+`:focus-visible` rule, outline or `tabindex`; a token swapped for a literal colour; a shortened
+user-facing string; a removed `prefers-reduced-motion` guard; a `will-change` left behind. Each
+one re-opens the matching always-HIGH item until the added side restores it.
+
+## 5. Responsive matrix (RS)
+
+| Id | Rule | Threshold | Severity | Probe |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| RS-001 | Canonical widths | 320, 390, 768, 1440 px light, all recorded in `viewports_run` | run completeness: a missing row is `BLOCKED: matrix incomplete`, never a finding | driver |
+| RS-002 | Dark pass at 390 px | a real dark path with mean surface luminance < 0.35, and no new HIGH contrast finding against the light 390 pass; a page whose only dark path is a theme control is not verified (the probe never clicks it) | MEDIUM once the pass ran; an unrun pass is exit 2 | measured (derived for "no dark path") |
+| RS-003 | Reduced motion at 390 px | the query matches, videos paused, no transition or animation over 250 ms per iteration on a motion property (transform, translate, scale, rotate, offsets, inset, size, margin, background-position, `all`); opacity and colour fades and progress or status motion are exempt | HIGH | measured |
+| RS-004 | 1440 px at 200 % zoom (720 CSS px) | RS-006 and RS-007's clipped and offscreen checks re-run there (overlap there stays RS-007) | HIGH | derived |
+| RS-005 | Content-derived breakpoints | a layout change sits where content breaks, not at a bare framework default | LOW, advisory | checklist |
+| RS-006 | No page-level sideways scroll | `scrollWidth ≤ innerWidth + 8px` at every row | HIGH | measured |
+| RS-007 | No clipped, offscreen or overlapping text | nothing cut without `text-overflow` or a line clamp (prefixed or not); no text past the viewport's side edges by more than 8 px outside a sideways scroller (below the fold never counts); overlap < 0.45 of the smaller box; only elements with their own text, accessibility-only spans excluded | clipped or offscreen HIGH; overlap MEDIUM | measured |
+| RS-008 | Mobile input text | text-entry controls (text-like inputs, `textarea`, `select`, `contenteditable`) ≥ 16 px on touch widths (≤ 768 px, the zoom row included) | MEDIUM | measured |
+| RS-009 | Safe-area offsets | only with `viewport-fit=cover`: a fixed or sticky control touching an edge carries `env(safe-area-inset-<edge>)` in its authored offset or padding | MEDIUM | derived (authored declarations; a cross-origin sheet is not verified) |
+| RS-010 | Scroll-rail peek | 16 to 32 px of the next item visible, required only when the rail has no prev/next control, pager, tab or counter | LOW; HIGH when the next item shows 0 px with no cue or fade | measured |
+| RS-011 | RTL pass | only when real content or locales are right-to-left; logical properties throughout | MEDIUM | checklist |
+| RS-012 | Re-check at a second state | a lone-state pass is not verified until re-sampled at another width, theme or focus | downgrade only | checklist |
+
+## 6. Craft floor (CF)
+
+Every DOM rule samples only what a person can see: `checkVisibility`, no accessibility-only
+1 × 1 or `clip` spans, nothing parked off canvas.
+
+**Typography**
+
+| Id | Rule | Threshold | Severity | Probe |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CF-101 | Body measure | target 60 to 75 characters per line; flagged when a prose block of two or more lines has a longest line over 90 (Latin) or 60 (CJK-majority) in real prose (`p`, long `li`, `blockquote`, `dd`, long `td`; never `nav`, footer or tickers) | MEDIUM, never HIGH | derived |
+| CF-102 | Heading line-height | 1.2 to 1.35 once a heading wraps to two lines; display type ≥ 40 px may go to 1.05 | MEDIUM | measured |
+| CF-103 | Body line-height | flagged below 1.4 (Latin) or 1.5 (CJK) on wrapped prose; 1.5 and 1.6 are the targets; no upper bound | MEDIUM | measured |
+| CF-104 | Wrapped-row floor | ≥ 1.4 for anything that wraps to three or more lines | MEDIUM | measured |
+| CF-105 | Balanced headings | a heading that wraps uses `text-wrap: balance` (`pretty` suits body); a last line under 20 % of the mean of the lines before it is a judgment candidate | LOW | measured; orphans judgment |
+| CF-106 | Tabular figures | numeric table columns and KPIs use `tabular-nums` or `tnum` (monospace passes) | LOW | measured |
+| CF-107 | Sentence case | buttons, links, labels and tabs are not Title Case: every content word after the first capitalised; labels mostly in uncased scripts (Hangul, kana, CJK) are skipped; function words, 2 to 5 letter acronyms, inner capitals, digits and the page's own brand words are exempt; one-word labels never fire | LOW (derived when only one word is capitalised) | measured |
+| CF-108 | Type roles and families | ≤ 7 roles (first family, size to 1 px, weight bucket, form controls excluded) at 390 px; ≤ 2 families plus 1 mono | MEDIUM | judgment (a recorded exception clears it) |
+| CF-109 | Weight by size | ≥ 400 below 18 px; 100 to 300 only for display ≥ 28 px | MEDIUM | checklist |
+
+**Colour and contrast**
+
+| Id | Rule | Threshold | Severity | Probe |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CF-201 | WCAG 2 contrast | 4.5:1 body; 3:1 for text ≥ 24 px or ≥ 18.5 px bold, and for component edges; background read from the paint stack under the text; disabled controls skipped; another element painted on top is not verified; placeholders belong to CF-807 | HIGH body, MEDIUM large | derived |
+| CF-202 | Focus indicator | in-page focus confirmed as `:focus-visible`, then focused and resting styles compared: outline, shadow, border or background must change; the browser's own `auto` ring passes; a custom ring needs ≥ 2 px and ≥ 3:1 against the colour just outside it | HIGH when focus changes nothing; MEDIUM for a weak custom ring | measured |
+| CF-203 | APCA | advisory Lc figure beside every CF-201 finding (body 75, non-body 60, large 45, components 30) | information | in the note |
+| CF-204 | Text over image or gradient | on a CSS gradient the text clears CF-201's floor against its worst colour stop; text over an image is not verified | HIGH | derived |
+| CF-205 | One accent per view | ≤ 1 saturated hue cluster (±15°) among filled surfaces ≥ 24 × 24 px; status roles, live regions, `aria-invalid`, success/warning/error/danger/info-style class tokens and pills ≤ 32 px tall excluded | MEDIUM | measured |
+| CF-206 | Hue tolerance | hues within 15° count as one meaning | LOW | inside CF-205 |
+| CF-207 | Not colour alone | state carries text, an icon or a pattern too | HIGH | checklist (Inferred) |
+
+**Spacing and surfaces**
+
+| Id | Rule | Threshold | Severity | Probe |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CF-301 | One spacing scale | padding, gap and margin within ±1 px of a 4 px multiple; values under 4 px and centred auto margins skipped | LOW for 1 to 3 off-scale values, MEDIUM above | measured |
+| CF-302 | Grouping ratio | gap between groups ≥ 2 × the gap inside a group | MEDIUM | checklist |
+| CF-303 | Room between blocks | ≥ 12 px between bordered or filled blocks, ≥ 24 px around borderless ones (non-interactive only) | MEDIUM | checklist |
+| CF-304 | Heading rhythm | target about twice the space above a heading as below; flagged only on a clear inversion (above < 0.75 × below and 12 px short), measured on rendered boxes; a heading that opens a card is not scored | LOW | measured |
+| CF-305 | Full-width control inset | about 16 px from the viewport edge at 320 and 390 px | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-306 | Container `gap` | rhythm from the parent's `gap`, not child margins | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-401 | Concentric radius | inner = outer − padding, ±2 px, compared per corner where the child reaches that corner, radii capped at half the short side, padding ≤ 24 px | LOW | measured |
+| CF-402 | Elevation once | no hard ≤ 2 px shadow retracing a border | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-403 | Hard offset shadow | a zero-blur shadow offset past a hairline, unless the direction records a neo-brutalist register (the probe's proxy for one: the same shadow on ≥ 3 elements that each carry a ≥ 2 px solid border) | MEDIUM | measured |
+| CF-404 | No glow on the primary action | no ≤ 2 px offset, ≥ 16 px blur, saturation > 0.4 shadow on the primary action or a heading; the same glow on ≥ 2 unrelated elements is reported once, as SLOP-010 | LOW | measured |
+| CF-405 | Neutral image outline | ~1 px, low opacity, saturation < 15 % | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-406 | Solid scrim | no `backdrop-filter: blur` on a full-viewport overlay | LOW | measured |
+| CF-407 | Decorative patterns | grids, halos, marquees and stripes need a real referent (see the slop register) | LOW to MEDIUM | via SLOP rows |
+
+**Motion**
+
+| Id | Rule | Threshold | Severity | Probe |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CF-501 | Motion tokens | `enter` 420 ms, `ui` 180 ms, `exit` 160 ms as `references/motion-guide.md` defines | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-502 | Press feedback | the `:active` rule scales to 0.95 to 0.96 over ≤ 150 ms, read from the stylesheet (never pressed) | LOW | derived; no readable rule is not verified |
+| CF-503 | Entrance scale | an entrance starts at ≥ 0.95 scale, never from 0 (icon cross-fades excepted) | MEDIUM when running, LOW when only declared; never HIGH | measured or derived |
+| CF-504 | Exit shorter than entrance | same path reversed | LOW | checklist |
+| CF-505 | No bounce on feedback | cubic-bezier y values and `linear()` stops inside −0.1 to 1.1, also on running Web Animations; an `animation-name` token bounce, elastic, wobble, jiggle or spring (a per-frame script spring stays invisible to the probe) | MEDIUM | measured (derived for a name) |
+| CF-506 | High-frequency motion | ≤ 150 ms for controls repeated ≥ 5 times in a list, table or scroller, read after a real hover at 1440 px | LOW | measured |
+| CF-507 | `will-change` | only `transform`, `opacity`, `filter` (state rules included), only while animating; "at rest" read in the resting pass only | LOW; MEDIUM at rest | measured |

-Every interactive surface must answer three questions: what can be done here, what is happening
-now, what just happened. Settle all three in `inventory.interactions` and `inventory.states`
-first.
+# Interaction states
 
-## State inventory
-
-List the states each element can occupy. A state nobody listed is a state nobody built.
-
-- default, hover, active, focus-visible, disabled, read-only
-- selected, expanded, current, checked, indeterminate
-- loading, optimistic, retrying, succeeded, failed
-- empty, partial, truncated, overflowing, stale
-
-Each maps to one contract state kind: `loading`, `empty`, `error`, `success`, `disabled`,
-`permission`, `offline`, `ready`.
-
-## Feedback proportional to consequence
-
-Weigh the response against what the action costs to undo. Cheap actions stay quiet.
-
-| Consequence | Required feedback |
-|---|---|
-| Reversible, local | Immediate change, no confirmation step |
-| Reversible, remote | Inline pending state plus undo for 5-10s |
-| Longer than 1s | Progress in place; skeleton only where layout is known |
-| Irreversible | Confirmation naming object and effect; typed name for bulk delete |
-| Failed | Persistent inline error, input preserved, retry within reach |
-
-## Input and validation timing
-
-Validate when the user can act on the answer, not while it is still being typed.
-
-- one field: validate on blur; cross-field rules: validate on submit
-- once a field has failed, revalidate on input so the error clears
-- debounce remote checks at 300-500ms and cancel superseded requests
+Use `references/motion-guide.md` for animation choices. This guide covers what a control
+does, how it reports state, and where keyboard focus goes.
 
-## Focus rules
-
-Focus is application state. Move it on purpose and put it back exactly.
-
-1. On open, focus the first meaningful control, not the container.
-2. Contain focus in a modal surface; `Escape` closes unless it discards data silently.
-3. On dismissal, return focus to the opener; if it is gone, focus its nearest surviving
-   ancestor, never `body`.
-4. After deleting a row, focus the next row, or the list when none remains.
-5. On route change, focus the new `h1` or the skip target.
-
-## Gestures and their keyboard equivalents
-
-Treat a gesture as an accelerator over a control that already exists. A touch-only path is a
-defect.
-
-- swipe to dismiss requires a close control
-- drag to reorder requires up and down controls or a position field
-- pull to refresh requires a refresh control
-
-## The motion test
-
-Answer all three before adding motion. One "no" removes it.
-
-1. Which relationship does it explain: origin, continuity, hierarchy, or outcome?
-2. Does removing it lose information rather than polish?
-3. Does it finish within 400ms, with completion never waiting on it?
-
-## Choreography and sequencing
+## State inventory
 
-Sequence movement to direct attention. Specify trigger, property, duration, easing, interruption.
+For each interactive element, name only the states it can actually reach:
 
-- 100-150ms direct feedback, 200-300ms entry and exit, 300-400ms layout change
-- stagger 20-40ms per item, capped at five; the remainder arrive together
-- animate `transform` and `opacity` only, and never queue a transition
+- pointer and keyboard: default, hover, pressed, focus-visible, disabled
+- selection: selected, expanded, current, checked, indeterminate
+- async work: loading, retrying, succeeded, failed
+- content: empty, partial, truncated, stale, overflowing
 
-## Reduced motion without lost meaning
+Map each state to its visual treatment, accessible announcement, and transition. The
+Design Contract owns the state inventory; an unlisted state is a coverage gap.
 
-Under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`, keep the information and drop the travel.
+## Feedback follows consequence
 
-- replace slide and scale with a 100ms opacity change or an instant swap
-- keep progress indicators; make them determinate or a static pending label
-- the reduced path still shows every confirmation and result announcement
+| Action | Feedback |
+| --- | --- |
+| Reversible local change | Apply immediately; avoid a confirmation step. |
+| Remote action | Show pending state and offer undo when the operation supports it. |
+| Work taking over a second | Keep progress in place and preserve the current layout. |
+| Irreversible action | Name the object and effect before confirmation. |
+| Failure | Keep the user's input, explain the next step, and make retry reachable. |
 
-## The record handed to review
+Validate a single field on blur and cross-field rules on submit. After an error, revalidate
+as the user edits. Debounce remote checks and cancel requests made stale by newer input.
 
-Give the independent review pass one entry per interaction, keyed to the design contract hash.
-Anything missing counts as untested.
+## Focus and keyboard paths
 
-- trigger and target element with its accessible name
-- every state, with its visual and its announced change
-- keyboard sequence: keys, focus after each, exit path
-- async contract: pending threshold, timeout, error text, retry
-- motion: property, duration, easing, interruption, reduced path
-- evidence: route, viewport, state, and how the state was reached
+1. On open, focus the first meaningful control.
+2. Keep focus inside a modal; Escape closes it when that does not discard unsaved work.
+3. On dismissal, return focus to the opener or its nearest surviving control.
+4. After removing a row, move focus to the next row or the list when empty.
+5. After navigation, focus the new heading or skip target.
 
-## Failure patterns
+Treat gestures as shortcuts. Swipe-to-dismiss needs a close control; drag-to-reorder needs
+keyboard controls or a position field; pull-to-refresh needs a visible refresh action.
 
-Reject:
+## Review record
 
-- an interaction with no pending, empty, or failure state named
-- validation on every keystroke, or an error that discards user input
-- focus dropped to `body` after dismissal, or a dialog with no return target
-- a gesture, hover, or drag as the only route to an action
-- motion longer than 400ms, or completion gated on an animation callback
+For each interaction, retain an internal Design Contract or QA record keyed to its hash:
+the trigger, accessible name, reachable states, keyboard path, async failure and retry
+behavior, and how QA reached the state. Keep this record detailed. In the chat reply,
+mention only the limitation that changes the user's next decision.

+# Motion guide for LitClaude frontend work
+
+Use this guide with the active frontend Design Contract and `references/interaction-motion.md`. Motion decisions belong to named components and states; they do not grant implementation scope. Start with the target page, components, and exclusions. Specify the stack, visual tokens, layers, timing, viewport behavior, reduced-motion path, assets, and performance limits before implementation. Name exact files or components so the work does not invent unrelated sections.
+
+All values below are starting defaults. Keep the page calm when motion does not explain hierarchy, state, or cause and effect.
+
+## 1. Stack, tokens, and composition
+
+**Do:** Name the framework, styling system, animation package, icon set, and their tested version pins. Define colors, spacing, font family, numeric weights, and breakpoints as reusable tokens. Use a distinct mobile navigation component when the desktop layout no longer fits. Assign a short z-index map before adding overlays.
+
+**Don't:** ask for a “modern animated site” without stating the stack, scope, or interaction. Don't leave the package versions open-ended when the work depends on an animation API.
+
+```text
+Stack: [framework + pinned version], [styling + pinned version], [motion + pinned version].
+Scope: [named components only].
+Layers: background 0; page content 10; navigation 30; modal 50.
+Breakpoints: mobile [value], medium [value], wide [value].
+```
+
+**Do:** Give fluid display type a `clamp()` range, numeric weight, and tight but readable line-height. State how fonts load and name a system fallback. Pair a large heading with a restrained content width. Set colors with tokens; use `rgba()` when alpha matters on translucent surfaces, and choose a tinted near-black base when the design calls for a dark canvas. A blend mode may shape a heading or light treatment when its contrast is checked against the final background.
+
+**Don't:** use “large,” “glass,” or “dark” as the only specification. Don't add a blur, gradient, or blend mode without deciding which layer it affects and how text remains legible.
+
+**Do:** Put reusable visual primitives in one place and refer to them by name. Let a background gradient end at the page's base color so a scroll does not reveal a hard seam. State spacing at mobile, medium, and wide breakpoints in one consistent vocabulary, for example `16 / 24 / 32 px` in the order mobile / medium / wide. Keep one breakpoint vocabulary throughout the brief.
+
+**Don't:** duplicate slightly different blur or spacing values across components, or let a fixed media layer cover focus rings and text.
+
+## 2. Timing and viewport choreography
+
+Use named curves so a later editor can change the motion family without hunting through components:
+
+| Name | Curve | Default duration | Use |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| `enter` | `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)` | 420 ms | A short entrance that settles cleanly |
+| `ui` | `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1)` | 180 ms | Hover, focus, and state feedback |
+| `exit` | `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 1, 1)` | 160 ms | Dismissal or removal |
+
+**Do:** pair every duration with one named curve. Keep ordinary controls below 400 ms. Give an entrance and an exit different intent. Keep the hover feedback shorter than the compositional reveal.
+
+**Don't:** use a duration with the browser's unspecified default curve, or put an elastic bounce on routine navigation.
+
+**Do:** Trigger a reveal when at least 15% of its section enters view, with a bottom root margin of 10%. Trigger once per section; make the content visible if observation is unavailable. For a scroll-linked effect, define a progress interval and its output range, then use one dominant movement in the hero.
+
+**Don't:** animate every section continuously, make multiple parallax layers compete, or hide content until the observer fires.
+
+**Do:** Stagger a small group by 60 ms per item and cap the sequence at 300 ms. Express it as a base delay plus `itemIndex × 60 ms`, so every item's timing is inspectable. Keep each group short enough that the first item is still relevant when the last appears. A menu may use a separate overlay and a brief item sequence.
+
+**Don't:** delay each item by a large fixed pause, stagger a long article line by line, or make users wait for the page to become readable.
+
+## 3. Motion and resource budgets
+
+**Do:** Give each section one entrance sequence and no more than two simultaneously moving elements. Give the hero one principal scroll or entrance effect and one animated headline. Keep controls responsive while decorative motion runs.
+
+**Don't:** animate the headline, background, cards, icons, and navigation at once. Remove any motion whose absence does not change comprehension or feedback.
+
+**Do:** Animate `transform` and `opacity` for routine movement. Target a frame callback below 4 ms so the page has room for layout, paint, and input work within a 60 Hz frame. Check for dropped frames on a mid-range device.
+
+**Don't:** animate `top`, `left`, `width`, or `height` on every frame, or assume a desktop GPU represents a phone.
+
+**Do:** Keep the first view within a stated transfer budget. As a default, limit initial motion media to 1 MB compressed and a video poster to 150 KB. Lazy-load below-the-fold media; size images for their rendered slot; split optional motion code from the initial route.
+
+**Don't:** fetch a large background video before the user sees the page, ship multiple full-resolution images for a small card, or treat a CDN as a performance plan.
+
+**Do:** Provide a real poster frame for every background video. On small screens or when the browser signals data saving, use the poster or a still image and skip video download and autoplay. Keep the same message and contrast in the fallback.
+
+**Don't:** make a video the only source of information or start a large media request on a metered connection.
+
+**Do:** Treat a sticky background video as its own positioned layer with a separately sized overlay; state the overlay's coverage, such as the lower 40% of the frame. Group its playback requirements together: autoplay where allowed, muted, looping, and inline playback. Point to an approved project asset or media source by its existing name. If none exists, ask for a real asset or specify a designed still; do not leave a fake URL in the brief.
+
+**Don't:** bury a media source in an arbitrary CSS background, or let a video layer intercept text selection and focus.
+
+## 4. Accessibility and input modes
+
+**Do:** Honor `prefers-reduced-motion`. Show the final content state immediately, remove parallax and tilt, and reduce nonessential transitions. Keep focus movement, visible focus, keyboard operation, and meaningful image text independent of animation.
+
+**Don't:** use motion as the only way to reveal a label, indicate success, or make a control reachable.
+
+```css
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  .motion-enter,
+  .motion-scroll,
+  .motion-tilt {
+    animation: none;
+    transition-duration: 0.01ms;
+    transform: none;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Do:** Restrict pointer tilt to fine-pointer devices. Clamp rotation to ±4 degrees, reset on pointer exit, and leave touch input alone. Compose the tilt with other transforms instead of overwriting them.
+
+**Don't:** request device orientation, require a hover to expose content, or let a pointer effect move text away from its focus target.
+
+Give cursor tracking its own interaction scope and budget. For a 3D scene or carousel, name the component and supported input before specifying its movement; check it under a separate frame and device budget because it can cost more than a small CSS transition.
+
+## 5. One headline and a deliberate pace
+
+**Do:** Choose one headline for a restrained reveal. Keep its full text in the accessibility tree and make it readable before an animation library loads. Give the rest of the page stable text and a clear reading order.
+
+**Don't:** animate every character, repeat the same reveal on every section title, or split a short heading into a long sequence.
+
+**Do:** Let the page open with its primary point, settle while the reader scans, use one reveal for a meaningful section change, then let the call to action rest. Test the complete path with motion enabled, with reduced motion, and with media unavailable.
+
+**Don't:** put a continuous moving background behind dense copy, make the final action compete with a transition, or use a repeated animation to fill an otherwise empty section.
+
+## 6. Interaction details and implementation order
+
+**Do:** Specify hover, focus, pressed, disabled, and open states independently. Give icon swaps their own rotation angle and short duration. Keep a mobile menu's overlay opacity and blur distinct from desktop navigation. Size proof cards and other evidence blocks for the amount of text they actually carry; for example, set an 18–22 rem width range and let height follow content.
+
+**Don't:** treat a hover state as keyboard feedback or reuse the same opacity and blur values for every surface.
+
+**Do:** Organize labeled sections in dependency order: stack and tokens, page structure, media and fallbacks, navigation, content, interactions, dependencies, then build configuration. State responsive spacing and padding at mobile, medium, and wide sizes together. Treat an early render as a draft; refine it against the scope and device targets.
+
+**Don't:** let the visual scroll order dictate dependency order, add unrelated sections, or leave library versions unspecified after the design relies on a particular API.
+
+## Review checklist
+
+- Are the stack, scope, breakpoints, font loading, tokens, and layer order explicit?
+- Does each motion have a named curve, duration, trigger, and reduced-motion result?
+- Does each section stay within its motion budget, with one dominant hero effect?
+- Are media poster, mobile/data-saving fallback, lazy loading, and transfer budget specified?
+- Are focus, keyboard use, contrast, and nonanimated content complete?
+- Are package versions pinned, and does the page remain readable when motion or media is unavailable?
+
+## Phase 3 README A/B example slot
+
+Add examples only after the Phase 3 README motion runs exist. Store each case at
+`plugins/litclaude/skills/frontend-ui-ux/examples/phase-3-readme-ab/<case>/` with
+`before.md`, `after.md`, `before.png`, and `after.png`. The Markdown files hold the
+README excerpts; the PNGs show the matching rendered states and viewport size.
