Summary

Closes #32 (Activities audit D3). The split divider line is a semantic token at ≥3:1 against both pane surfaces in light and dark.

D2 name (Resize reference panel) and the 24×24 pointer target are unchanged. Keyboard resize is unchanged. Focus/dragging still uses Primary-700.

Changes

::after used hardcoded #2b3b52, which is 1.02:1 against the dark pane (Main-Medium / Neutral-1200). The unused --Colors-Split-Panel-Divider-Line token was a translucent blue that also fails 3:1 on white.

The line now uses --Colors-Split-Panel-Divider-LineNeutral-800 (#808AA5). That pair is ≥3:1 on the light pane (white) and the dark pane. It is a hairline, not the focus color.

Do not reopen D2. Consumer bump is learn_cosmo-activities-web#59 after this merges.

Test plan

  • npx playwright test tests/split-panel-a11y.spec.js — named divider, 24px hit target, ::after is Neutral-800, ≥3:1 vs pane in light and dark, keyboard arrows / Home / End
  • Activities submodule bump after merge

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The split-panel divider now uses --Colors-Split-Panel-Divider-Line in light and dark themes for horizontal and vertical orientations. Accessibility tests parse rendered colors, capture the pane background, and verify semantic divider color with at least 3:1 contrast.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d6406

The divider now uses a semantic color intended to meet contrast requirements, but the tests do not verify contrast against both pane surfaces or confirm that the pseudo-element consumes the token. This leaves bounded regression risk; the PR is mergeable with explicit follow-up to strengthen these assertions.

Check both pane surfaces in the contrast assertion.

The test records only .split-panel-left at Line 65. Both orientation checks then use this single background. If the right pane has a different surface color, the test can pass while the divider fails the D3 requirement. Capture both pane backgrounds and assert the 3:1 ratio for each.

Also applies to: 65-65

Verify semantic token wiring instead of duplicating the RGB value.

The rgb(128, 138, 165) assertions check only the current resolved color. They also pass if the pseudo-element uses a hardcoded color instead of --Colors-Split-Panel-Divider-Line. Test that changing the CSS variable changes the pseudo-element color, then perform the contrast check against the resolved token.

Also applies to: 156-159
