-### Which "select" component — seven components overlap in name, not purpose
+### Which "select" component — `Select` is the only one to reach for now
 
-**Not picking a value from an options list at all:**
+There is now **one** picker. `Select` does both modes off the `native` prop:
+`native` (default `true`) renders a real `<select>`; `native={false}` renders the themed,
+fully-React popup — searchable, `isMulti` with chips, grouped options, `isClearable`,
+`onCreate`, `renderOption`, `onLoadMore`, optional windowing via `virtualizeAfter`.
 
-| Doing | Component | Why not the others |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Triggering a labelled *action* (export, row menu, "...") | `Dropdown` | A menu-button, not a form field — nothing is "selected" and persisted |
-| Typing free-text tags (e.g. email addresses), no options list | `MultiSelect` | Despite the name, there is nothing to pick from — see gotcha below |
-| Choosing which *fields/columns* to include, in a modal, from a checkbox grid | `FieldSelectModal` | Multi-checkbox selection UI, not an inline field control |
+`isMulti` always forces the popup — there is no native multi-select — and dev-warns if you
+also passed `native`.
 
-**Picking one or more values from an options list, inline in a form:**
+**Only `SelectV2` is `@deprecated`. None was deleted; every existing call site still works.**
 
-| List length / need | Component | Why |
+| Deprecated | Status | Migration |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| Short, always-visible list, no search needed | `Select` | Native `<select>` wrapper — lightest option, but the popup is OS-painted and can't be themed |
-| New build, want themed/custom-rendered rows (icons, descriptions), no huge list | `SelectV2` | Fully React-rendered popup — **prefer this for new work** over `Select` |
-| Long list needing search + chips + select-all + infinite scroll | `SearchSelect` | The full-featured picker; scales via consumer-driven `pagination`, not DOM virtualization — see gotcha below |
-| Search-as-you-type with avatars/colour swatches/a pinned "add new" row | `SelectSearch` | Lighter than `SearchSelect`; reach for it for that specific row-content need |
+| `SelectV2` | Now a thin wrapper — literally `<Select {...props} native={false} />` | Drop-in. DOM, ARIA roles, keyboard and the `${listboxId}-option-${id}` id scheme are unchanged, so E2E selectors keyed to it still pass |
+| `SearchSelect` | **Not deprecated** — implementation untouched, not 1:1 replaceable yet | Hand-migrate. `insideSelect`, `isSelectAll`, `rightIcon`, a field-level loading slot and the paginated `pagination.onScroll` shape (1-based `startIndex`/`limit`/`query`) have **no** equivalent in `Select` today. Keep using it until they do |
+| `SelectSearch` | **Not deprecated** — implementation untouched | Hand-migrate. It is uncontrolled (`initialSelectedOption` seeds state once and never resyncs) and moves real DOM focus into rows; `Select` is controlled and uses `aria-activedescendant` |
+| `Dropdown` | **NOT deprecated** — the marker was wrong and was removed 2026-09-21 | Never "migrate" it to `Select`. It is a menu-button (`role="menu"`/`menuitem`, `aria-haspopup="menu"`), not a value picker (`role="combobox"`/`listbox`).

+### `Dropdown`'s `handleOptionSelect` takes TWO arguments and TypeScript will not tell you
 
-Default when unsure: `SelectV2` for a themed field, `Select` if the native popup is genuinely fine.
+The prop is `(id, label) => void`. TypeScript accepts a one-argument function anywhere a
+two-argument one is expected, so `handleOptionSelect={handleSelect}` where `handleSelect`
+is `(id: string | number) => void` compiles cleanly and silently never receives `label`.
+
+This is live in **10 call sites today** across crm-frontend and commerce — every one of them
+a bare function reference rather than an inline arrow.
+
+**Apply:** pass an inline arrow (`(id, label) => handleSelect(id, label)`) so the arity is
+visible at the call site, or declare the handler with both parameters. Grep for
+`handleOptionSelect={` followed by a bare identifier.

+range-input slider is a separate component named `RangeSlider`, because this library's `Slider`

-### Inline file preview — `PdfViewer` vs `FilePreview`
+### Viewing files — `MediaViewer` / `FilePreview` / `PdfViewer` / `ProfilePhotoViewer`
+
+Four components open a file, and only one of them is the general answer.
 
 | Need | Component | Why |
 | --- | --- | --- |
+| A gallery of mixed media with next/prev, a filmstrip and per-type stages | `MediaViewer` | The full lightbox: image/video/audio/pdf/doc stages, keyboard nav, fullscreen, download. Collapses the filmstrip and stepper automatically for a single item |
+| One file, click-to-open, no gallery | `FilePreview` | Lighter controlled modal; auto-detects type, zoom/rotate for images |
 | Always-visible inline PDF panel in the page flow | `PdfViewer` | Non-modal, PDF-only, small open/download toolbar |
-| Click-to-open lightbox over mixed/unknown file types | `FilePreview` | Controlled modal; auto-detects image/pdf/video/other, adds zoom/rotate for images, graceful fallback for unsupported types |
+| Crop/preview a user avatar | `ProfilePhotoViewer` | Avatar-specific, not a general file viewer |
+
+`PdfViewer` and `FilePreview` both render a PDF through the identical unstyled `<embed type="application/pdf">` with no error handling if the browser can't render it inline — neither tells you when that happens. `MediaViewer` does handle it: formats a browser cannot decode (`.avi`, `.mkv`, `.m3u8`, `.heic`, `.tiff`) render an icon and a file-type chip with a download action instead of a blank frame.
+
+`MediaViewer.labels` takes a `Partial<MediaViewerLabels>` — that type and `defaultMediaViewerLabels` are both exported from the package root, so you can merge rather than restate every string.
+
+`MediaViewer`'s `index`/`onIndexChange` are now optional: omit both for uncontrolled (it owns the index, starting at `defaultIndex ?? 0`), or pass both to control it. Passing `index` without `onIndexChange` freezes the viewer — every nav path has nowhere to write the new index — and now warns loudly in dev.
 
-Both render a PDF through the identical unstyled `<embed type="application/pdf">` with no error handling if the browser can't render it inline — neither tells you when that happens.
+### `HeaderActionsProps` describes a different component than `HeaderActions`
+
+The value `HeaderActions` comes from `Components/Header/HeaderActions.tsx`, which declares its props inline. The type `HeaderActionsProps` re-exported from the package root comes from `Components/Table/TableProps.tsx` — the *table's* internal bulk-action bar. Typing a `HeaderActions` usage with `HeaderActionsProps` compiles into the wrong shape.
+
+**Apply:** don't annotate `HeaderActions` with `HeaderActionsProps`. Let the props infer from the component, or use `React.ComponentProps<typeof HeaderActions>`. Same trap as `FileUploaderProps` above — check which folder a type came from before trusting the name.
+
+### Confirm prompts — `ConfirmDialog` vs `AlertDialog` vs `Modal`
+
+| Need | Component | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| A delete/deactivate prompt with a header swatch and a red Confirm | `ConfirmDialog` | The shared shape behind the library's confirm modals; `tone="destructive"` (the default) fills Confirm red |
+| A simple two-button yes/no | `AlertDialog` | Lighter; `confirmButtonText`/`cancelButtonText`, `tone="danger"` for a red Confirm |
+| Anything else | `Modal` | Named slots only — see the slot gotcha below |
+
+**`ConfirmDialog.onConfirm` does not close the dialog.** It fires and nothing else; you call `onClose` yourself. That is deliberate — it lets you keep the dialog open while an async delete is in flight — but a handler that only calls your delete function leaves the dialog on screen with no error.
+
+`iconBg` and `iconColor` are **required** and take raw colour strings, so the caller resolves the tone. Read them from `useCustomTheme()` — a hardcoded hex there is stuck in light mode.
+
+### Busy indicators — `Spinner` vs `Backdrop` vs `Loading`
+
+| Need | Component | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Inline busy mark in a row, cell or button area | `Spinner` | The package-root `Spinner` is the themed one (accent colour, own xs–xl `size` scale), not Chakra's raw spinner |
+| **Scrim over the page or one panel — the default for new work** | **`Backdrop`** | `variant="dim"` by default: black at 0.5, no blur, 225ms in / 195ms out, 40px spinner. `container` scopes it, `onClick` dismisses, `invisible` blocks without painting |
+| Let clicks reach the page while a scrim is showing | `Backdrop allowBackgroundInteraction` | Drops `pointer-events` on the scrim **and** its transition wrapper. `onClick` cannot fire while set — that is the trade |
+| Existing screens already using it | `Loading` | The older API. Its default `variant="frosted"` keeps the heavier house scrim (0.6 + 4px blur) so nothing shifts; `variant="dim"` routes it through `Backdrop` |
+
+**Never hand-roll a scrim.** A `position: fixed` `Box` with your own `rgba()` will not match the
+Modal/Drawer overlay, will not fade, and will not follow dark mode. `Backdrop` is the one owner.
+
+One trap if you build anything similar yourself: setting `pointer-events: none` on your overlay is
+not enough when the overlay sits inside a transition wrapper — the wrapper keeps capturing clicks.
+`Backdrop` sets it on both.
+
+### Data states — `EmptyState` / `ErrorState` / `QueryStateBoundary`
+
+| Need | Component | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| "Nothing here yet" with an optional action | `EmptyState` | Neutral placeholder |
+| A failed load with retry | `ErrorState` | `role="alert"`, `onRetry`/`isRetrying` built in |
+| One fetch that can be loading, failed, empty or ready | `QueryStateBoundary` | Picks for you: loading > error > empty > `children` |

 ## Known gotchas (silent failures)
 
+### Defaults changed in 2.4.2-beta.44 — read this first when upgrading from beta.43
+
+| Component | beta.43 → beta.44 | Restore the old look |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Fields, selects, buttons (`Button`, `TextInput`, `InputTextArea`, `NumberInput`, DatePicker family, `Select`, `SelectV2`, `SearchSelect`, `SelectSearch`, `Search`, `Dropdown`, `SegmentedControl`) | Default size `md` → `sm` (32px). One scale for all: xs 24 / sm 32 / md 40 / lg 48 — `md` is now 40px everywhere (`TextInput` was 44, selects 38, `SegmentedControl` ~36). `TimePicker` has no `size` (fixed `sm`); `SegmentedControl` has no `xs` | `size="md"` |
+| `Button` | Text one step smaller (sm 14→13px, md 16→14, lg 18→16). Busy = spinner only, width kept (was "Loading" + spinner). Outline: 1px border, hover is a tint, not a fill | `loadingText="Loading"` |
+| `Tag` | `solid`/`md` → `subtle`/`sm`. Hover + pointer only with `onTagClick`; `maxW` truncates with the full text as a title. Exact heights 20/24/28/32, weight 500, 1px inset ring (never adds height); subtle is a light tint with ink ≥ 6.5:1 | `variant="solid" size="md"` |
+| `resolveSoftTone` | `bg`/`border` are now translucent (alpha hex) — composite onto the surface before `contrastRatio`; optional 3rd `surface` arg; adds `hoverBg`/`activeBg`. Badge/Alert/Toaster/EmptyState follow | — |
+| `resolveFilledSurface` | Still white-first; when a white-labelled fill would vanish on the canvas (zinc dark primary) it falls back to a light fill with dark ink. Takes `background` in `colors` now | — |
+| `Checkbox` / `RadioButton` | Box 16/20/24 → 14/16/20; label 14px; 1px border; one fill rung for every `colorScheme`. **`RadioButton colorScheme` now applies** (was always primary) | — |
+| `ToggleSwitch` / `SegmentedControl` / `TableToggle` | Off track lifted to 3:1; thumb ink flips on light fills. Radius `lg`; `TableToggle` tooltips = button names, `aria-pressed` | — |
+| `MultiSelect` | Default `md` → `sm`; real `<label>`; shared two-tone focus ring | `size="md"` |
+| Selected rows (`Dropdown`, `SelectV2`, `SearchSelect`, `SelectSearch`, `MoreItems`, `Table` filters, menus) | Dark aliases `backgroundColor.tertiary` to the panel, so a selected row sat at 1.025:1 and was invisible. It is now lifted to a perceptible step. Light is byte-identical on eight brands; `zinc` moves slightly, having been below the step too | — |
+| `tertiary` | Was an exact copy of `secondary` on six brands and of `primary` on three, so `colorScheme="tertiary"` rendered as another scheme. Now a real third accent: `primary`'s hue turned 60° at `secondary`'s luminances, so contrast is unchanged | use `secondary` |
+| `SelectV2` | Trigger is now `div[role=combobox]`, not `<button>` — widen a `useRef<HTMLButtonElement>` to `HTMLDivElement`; assert `aria-disabled`, not `toBeDisabled()`. `isMulti` shows removable `Tag` chips (`maxVisibleChips`, default 6, then `+N`); Backspace removes the last; `maxLabelsBeforeSummary` now only shapes the `aria-label`. Read-only is `data-readonly`, not `aria-readonly` | custom `renderValue` for text |
+| `SearchSelect` / `SelectSearch` | Menu radius `lg` → `xl`, shadow `lg`. `SearchSelect`'s button triggers are now `role=button` named `"Label: value"`; only the text input is `role=combobox` — update `getByRole("combobox")` queries | — |
+| `TextInput` | **`type="password"` now auto-renders a show/hide toggle** — a plain password field gains a button it did not have in beta.43. Suppressed automatically when `inputRightIcon` is set, so a hand-rolled toggle never doubles up; `isPasswordToggleDisabled` opts out entirely. Also new: `variant` (`outline` default / `filled` / `flushed`), `isClearable`, `showCharacterCount` + `maxLength`, `inputLeftAddon`/`inputRightAddon`, `isLoading`. `inputStyle`/`leftElementStyle`/`rightElementStyle` are now `SystemProps` and `inputGroupStyle` is `CSSProperties` — all four were bare `object`, so a wrong key that used to compile now fails | `isPasswordToggleDisabled` |
+| Chakra passthroughs | 34 barrel value exports (and 12 type exports) that duplicated an owned component were removed: `Input`, `Textarea`, `Progress`, `Radio`, `RadioGroup`, `Skeleton`, `ModalOverlay`, `ModalContent`, `ModalCloseButton`, `CardBody`, `ChakraCard`, `ChakraSelect`, `ChakraModal`(+`Body`/`Header`/`Footer`) the `Tabs`/`Accordion` families, and the Chakra slider sub-parts. `Tabs`, `Accordion` and `RangeSlider` now resolve to the library's own themed components (`RangeSlider` gained a real dual-thumb mode and a `marks` prop). Each removal is a compile error, never a silent swap | use the owned component — `TextInput`, `InputTextArea`, `ProgressBar`, `RadioButton`, `Skeletons`, `Modal`, `Card`, `Select` |
+| `Avatar` / `AvatarGroup` | Now the library's own components, not Chakra passthroughs. `AvatarProps` is a closed list (`name`, `src`, `size` `2xs`–`xl`, `status`, `ariaLabel`, `getInitials`, `data-testid`) — Chakra style props and `2xl` no longer compile, and **`name` is now required `string`**, so a `user.name?: string` call site fails. The fill is derived from `name`, so stop passing `bg`/`color`; it follows brand and dark mode on its own. `AvatarGroup` takes `people=[{name, src}]`, not `<Avatar>` children, so it can build one accurate group label. Measured by typecheck: 13 of 18 consumer files break | wrap in a `Box` for placement/shadow; resolve `name` at the call site |
+| `SettingsSection` | New optional `action` slot, right of the title/description on the header row — additive, nothing changes without it | — |
+| `Button` / `Buttons` | Icon-only buttons are square. `Buttons` (plural) is themed instead of hardcoded purple | — |
+| `ProgressBar` | Fill lifted to ≥ 3:1 on its track — green/orange/blue/cyan are visibly darker in light mode | — |
+| `PhoneNumberInput` / `PinInput` / `NoteTextArea` | `ref` now attaches; labels bound; PIN digits grouped and named | — |

+| `Avatar` / `Timeline` / `Table` | Generated avatar fills now guarantee ≥ 4.5:1 initials (a name may get a different shade); Timeline rail lifted to 3:1; Table status/filter chips use the soft recipe; stray radii → `lg`/`xl`/`full` | — |
+| `AlertDialog` | Yes/No → Confirm/Cancel; Cancel is a neutral gray outline (was red) | `confirmButtonText`/`cancelButtonText`; `tone="danger"` for a red Confirm |
+| `Modal` | Page scroll now locks (`blockScrollOnMount` was silently off); `motionPreset="scale"`; theme scrim (60% black + blur) — drop any `overlaybackdropFilter` hue-rotate workaround; `isLoading` keeps header + close button | `blockScrollOnMount={false}` |

+| `InputTextArea` / `FileUpload` / `TextInput` | Width 500px → 100% / `maxSizeKB` 5 → 5120 / no default "Placeholder" text | `width="500px"` / — (5 KB was a bug) / — |
+| `DatePicker` (no `pickerType`) | Inference is case-sensitive: `MM` is month, `mm` minutes. `dd/MM/yyyy` was misread as date+time and showed time selects; it is now date-only | `pickerType="datetime"` |
+| `EmptyState` | Title is an `h3`; image is decorative (`alt=""`, was the title) | `titleAs`, `imageAlt` |
+| Theme `Badge` / `Card` / field labels | Badge: pill, no uppercase, default `sm`. Card: default variant `outline`. Label colour `text[700]`; helper/error row 12px | `size`/`variant` props |
+| `Header` | `position: sticky; top: 0`, z-index `sticky` (1100, was 1000); `rightSlot` mounts once, not per layout | — |

+
+### `Tag`'s `onIconClick` renders nothing without `icon` — the remove button silently never appears
+
+`onIconClick` only turns `icon` into a remove button; it has no effect on its own (`Tag.tsx`
+`{icon && (onIconClick ? … : …)}`). Passing `onIconClick` alone — expecting a default close
+affordance the way Chakra's own `TagCloseButton` or AntD's `closable` work — compiles fine and
+renders a plain tag with no way to remove it.
+
+**Apply:** always pass both `icon` (e.g. `lucide-react`'s `X`) and `onIconClick` together for a
+removable chip. `icon` alone (no `onIconClick`) is the decorative case — a plain right-side icon
+with no click affordance, aria-hidden.
+
+### A rounded box with `overflow: hidden` clips glyphs at the corners — never round the clipping element
+
+`border-radius` reshapes the overflow clip, so a pill-shaped element with `overflow: hidden`
+clips text along an **ellipse**, not a rectangle. A leading `p`, `j`, `g`, `q` or `y` loses part
+of its descender to the bottom-left curve. It looks like a font or line-height problem; it is not.
+This shipped in `Tag`, where the label carried both `borderRadius: "full"` (to round its focus
+ring) and `overflow: hidden` (for `text-overflow: ellipsis`).
+
+The two cannot live on the same element. `overflow-clip-margin` does not rescue it either:
+`text-overflow: ellipsis` needs a non-`clip` horizontal axis, and mixing `hidden`/`clip` across
+axes collapses both to `hidden`, which makes the margin inert.
+
+**Apply:** keep the radius on the outer element and put `overflow: hidden` +
+`text-overflow: ellipsis` on a square (`borderRadius: 0`) child. Chakra's `TagLabel` also forces
+`noOfLines={1}` as a style prop, which outranks the theme — pass `noOfLines={undefined}` to drop
+it. In your own components, the same rule holds for any rounded chip, avatar or badge that clips
+its own text. The `/tag` playground's "Glyph clipping" section renders every letter leading and
+trailing at all four sizes as the visual check.
+
+### `colorScheme="tertiary"` is a real third accent from beta.44 (it used to be a duplicate)
+
+Through beta.43 `tertiary` was an exact copy of `secondary` on six brands and of `primary` on three,
+so the two schemes were indistinguishable. It is now `primary`'s hue turned 60° re-solved to
+`secondary`'s luminances, so every contrast guarantee is unchanged.
+
+**Apply:** `secondary` vs `tertiary` is now a real visual distinction on every brand except `zinc`,
+which is near-grey and has almost no hue to turn — use a semantic scheme (`blue`, `teal`, `purple`)
+there if the two categories must read apart.
+
+### Your own overlay painted `background[50]` sinks into the dark canvas
+
+In dark mode `background[50]` equals the page canvas on 8 of 9 brands. Library dialogs, drawers,
+popovers and menus now paint `colors.surfaceRaised` — identical `#ffffff` in light, one elevation
+step up in dark. A custom panel, popover or `ModalContent bg=` in an app should read
+`surfaceRaised` too, and a divider inside it `raisedRule(colors)`.

 ### `Drawer` / `Modal` / `ProfileCard` drop any child that isn't a named slot
 
 All three match children by exact type (`child.type === XHeader/XBody/XFooter`) and render only
-those matches — nothing else in `children` is ever read. Two consequences: a sibling among the
-slots (a nested `Modal`, `AlertDialog`, a confirm dialog, a portal after the footer) silently never

+those matches — nothing else in `children` is ever read. A sibling among the slots (a nested
+`Modal`, `AlertDialog`, a confirm dialog, a portal after the footer) silently never mounts. All
+three now unwrap **one** `<>...</>` level around a slot (so `<>{cond && <DrawerFooter>...}</>`
+still renders) and spread styling props (`padding`, `borderBottom`, `sx`, …) from the matched slot
+onto the real header/body/footer — a second nested fragment, or any other wrapper element, still
+drops the slot silently.
 
 **Apply:** put a confirm dialog **outside** the `Drawer`/`Modal`/`ProfileCard`, as a sibling in a
 wrapping fragment — never among the header/body/footer slots. When a ternary picks between bodies,
 branch into a variable rendered inside one body slot, rather than returning fragment-wrapped slots

+
+### `QueryStateBoundary` evaluates JSX `children` even while loading
+
+JSX children are built before the boundary decides what to show, so `data.items.map(...)` crashes
+while `data` is still `undefined`. **Apply:** pass `children` as a function — `{() => <List
+items={data.items} />}` — whenever it reads data that may not exist yet.
+
+### `StatCard`'s delta colour follows `trend` vs `goodDirection`, not `trend` alone
+
+Green when `trend === goodDirection`, red otherwise — a falling cost with `goodDirection="down"` is
+green. Pass `onClick` for a clickable card (it renders its own `<button>`); never wrap it in one.
+
+### A clickable `TextInput` icon is a real button — give it a name
+
+With `onRightIconclick`/`onLeftIconClick` the icon renders as a `<button>`. Without
+`rightIconAriaLabel`/`leftIconAriaLabel` it is announced as "{label}: right icon action".
+
+### `SelectSearch`'s `isRequired` shows the asterisk but never announces "required"
+
+`SelectSearch` sets `aria-required` by hand on its Chakra `Input`, but Chakra's `useFormControl`
+re-adds its own `"aria-required"` key *after* spreading your props, computed from the surrounding
+`FormControl`. That `FormControl` is never given `isRequired`, so the attribute is recomputed as
+undefined and stripped. Verified by DOM dump: the rendered `<input>` carries no `aria-required`
+even when `isRequired` is passed. The visible asterisk comes from a separate custom label, so the
+field *looks* required to sighted users and is silent to a screen reader.
+
+**Apply:** `SelectSearch` is `@deprecated` — use `Select` (`native={false}`), which marks required
+state on a plain `Box` combobox that Chakra does not rewrite. If you must stay on `SelectSearch`,
+set the required state on your own wrapping `FormControl`. Note the obvious one-line fix inside the
+component is not neutral: Chakra's `useFormControl` also emits native `required`, which would add
+browser validation to a *filter* input that was never submitted before.

+(needed for the ellipsis) with `overflowY="clip"` + `sx={{ overflowClipMargin: "3px" }}`. CSS
+discards that: when one axis is `clip` and the other is a non-`clip`, non-`visible` value, `clip`

+The working fix is vertical padding to grow the clip box, cancelled by an equal negative margin so
+the label's layout height is unchanged: `py="0.35em" my="-0.35em"`. The padding must suit the
+line-height — `0.35em` clears `lineHeight: 1`, while `Tag`'s label needs only `0.2em` at
+`lineHeight: 1.45` (a bigger box there would push its focus ring outside the pill).
