Plan the Material 3 alignment, with the audits and Google's references

Every foundations, styles and components page of m3.material.io (238, from the
sitemap) extracted into docs/reference/m3, five audit reports with 142 findings in
docs/audits/m3-alignment, and the 2.0.0 plan in docs/plans/material-3-alignment.md.

# Audit: actions and communication
Scope: `<x-button>`, `<x-button-group>`, `<x-group>`, `<x-split-button>`, `<x-fab>`, `<x-fab-menu>`,
`<x-fab-menu-item>`, `<x-menu>`/`<x-menu-item>`/`<x-menu-group>`/`<x-menu-separator>`, `<x-badge>`,
`<x-alert>`, `<x-progress>`, `<x-loading>`, `<x-toast>`, `<x-tooltip>`, `<x-rich-tooltip>`,
`<x-stat>`, `<x-empty-state>`, plus `resources/css/components/{groups,menu}.css`,
`resources/css/tokens/{state,motion,shape}.css`, `resources/js/{menu,snackbar,tooltip,rich-tooltip,progress,figure}.js`
and `src/Concerns/Toasts.php`.
Sources are named per finding. `RC-A` = `docs/reference/m3/reference-components-a.md`, `RF` =
`reference-foundations.md`, `RS` = `reference-styles.md`, `tokens/X.kt` = the androidx Compose
Material 3 token file in `docs/reference/m3/tokens/`. Two numbers were fetched live from androidx-main
during this audit (`Button.kt`, `ButtonGroup.kt`) and are marked as such.
## Summary
The button family is the strongest part of this library: all five Expressive sizes, the icon-button
width matrix, the corner/press-morph scale, the outline widths, the per-variant toggle colours and
the per-size type roles match the androidx tokens *exactly*, digit for digit — I could not find a
single wrong number in `<x-button>`'s own size tables, and the icon-button widths (narrow/default/wide
× five sizes, fifteen values) are all correct. The problems are concentrated elsewhere: the split
button reuses the connected button group's corner variables, so its inner corners are wrong at four of
five sizes and morph in the *opposite* direction to M3 on press; the snackbar's live region is created
together with its message (so the announcement is unreliable) and auto-dismisses even when it carries
an action, which M3's accessibility page forbids outright; a spinner inside a filled button is drawn
in `text-primary` on a `bg-primary` container, i.e. invisible; `<x-group>`'s segments carry no 48 px
touch target; and `<x-menu>` has no maximum height, so a long menu runs off the viewport with no way
to scroll it. Colour is animated on the overshooting *spatial* spring in four components, which the
library's own `motion.css` comment says must never happen. Nothing in this group implements a
deprecated M3 component — segmented buttons and the small FAB are correctly absent — and the two
non-M3 pieces (alert, stat, empty state) stay inside M3's colour roles, type scale and shape scale.
Counts: 5 must-fix, 17 should-fix, 14 nice-to-have (36 findings).
## Findings
### ACT-01 · button / loading · A button's spinner is invisible on a filled or tonal button
- Severity: must-fix
- M3 says: "when embedded in another component (e.g. a button), the active indicator should match the
label/icon color and the **track should be removed** in that context" (RC-A, Progress indicators →
Accessibility; same rule repeated for the loading indicator: "when embedded in another component
(e.g. a button), the indicator needs ≥3:1 against that component").
- Library does: `resources/views/components/button.blade.php:207` renders
`<x-loading :class="$iconSize" :label="false" />` — only a size class. `loading.blade.php:22`
detects a caller colour with `preg_match('/(^|\s)text-(?!…)/')`, which `size-5` does not match, so
`loading.blade.php:31` adds `text-primary`. The SVG is `fill="currentColor"`
(`resources/svg/loading-indicator/*.svg`), so a `spinner` on `<x-button variant="filled">`
(`bg-primary`) paints primary on primary — contrast 1:1. Same on `tonal` (primary on
secondary-container) and on `variant="filled" color="error"`.
- Fix: in `button.blade.php:207` pass `:class="$iconSize.' text-current'"``text-current` satisfies
`loading.blade.php`'s `$coloured` test, so no `text-primary` is added and the indicator inherits the
button's label colour.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-02 · toast · The snackbar's live region is created together with its message
- Severity: must-fix
- M3 says: "Announcement: use a **live region with a 'polite'/queued** announcement (not assertive) on
Android and web" (RC-A, Snackbar → Accessibility).
- Library does: `resources/views/components/toast.blade.php:41` wraps the whole snackbar in
`<template x-if="current">`, and the element carrying `role` and `aria-live="polite"` is inside it
(`toast.blade.php:45-46`). The region therefore enters the DOM with its text already present; a
live region must exist beforehand and have its *contents* change for assistive technology to
announce it reliably. The outer wrapper (`toast.blade.php:33`) is permanent but carries no
`aria-live`. Secondary issue on the same element: `x-bind:role` sets `alert` (implicitly assertive)
while `aria-live="polite"` is hard-coded beside it; the explicit `aria-live` wins, so the intent
("errors interrupt") is not realised anyway — and M3 asks for polite regardless.
- Fix: move `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-atomic="true"` onto the permanent wrapper at
`toast.blade.php:33`, drop `x-bind:role` / `aria-live` from the inner div (or keep `role="status"`
on the wrapper). The text nodes then change inside a region that was already there.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-03 · toast / snackbar.js · A snackbar with an action still auto-dismisses
- Severity: must-fix
- M3 says: "**Snackbars with an action must never auto-dismiss** — let people read/act at their own
pace; snackbars without actions may auto-dismiss (common range 4-10 seconds)" (RC-A, Snackbar →
Accessibility). The guidelines page repeats it as a design requirement: "make the snackbar
actionable so it doesn't auto-dismiss".
- Library does: `resources/js/snackbar.js:60` sets `timeout: sticky || toast.timeout === 0 || … ? 0 :
(toast.timeout ?? DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS)` — the presence of `action` is not considered, so
`materialToast('Share deleted', { action: { label: 'Undo', … } })` (exactly the showcase example,
`showcase/sections/communication.blade.php:22`) disappears after 4 s. Hover/focus pauses the timer
(`snackbar.js:97-117`), which helps a mouse user but not a screen-reader or keyboard user who has
not yet reached it.
- Fix: in `snackbar.js:55-63`, treat an entry with `action` as untimed: `timeout: sticky ||
toast.action || toast.timeout === 0 … ? 0 : …`. The close button already appears for an actioned
toast (`toast.blade.php:76`), so dismissal stays possible. Let an explicit `timeout` still override
it if the caller insists.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (behaviour change only; `timeout` keeps working)
### ACT-04 · menu · A long menu has no maximum height and cannot be scrolled
- Severity: must-fix
- M3 says: "Scrolling: a menu that can't fit all items **scrolls and shows a persistent scrollbar**"
(RC-A, Menus → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: `resources/views/components/menu.blade.php:70` sets
`min-w-28 max-w-70 overflow-visible … [inset:auto]` — there is no `max-block-size` and overflow is
explicitly *visible*. A popover positioned with `position-area` and `inset: auto` is sized
`fit-content`; it is not clipped to the position area, so a menu with (say) 20 items extends past
the viewport and the items beyond the edge cannot be reached — the top layer does not scroll with
the page. The library's own dropdown CSS already does this correctly:
`resources/css/components/menu.css:24-25` (`max-block-size: 18rem; overflow-y: auto`) and
`menu.css:99` for `::picker(select)`.
- Fix: on `menu.blade.php:70` replace `overflow-visible` with
`max-h-72 overflow-y-auto` (18rem, matching `.field-menu`), or
`max-h-[min(18rem,calc(100vh-2rem))]`. Verify in Chrome that `position-try-fallbacks` still flips
before the cap bites.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-05 · group / button-group · Connected segments miss M3's 48 dp target and 48 dp minimum width
- Severity: must-fix
- M3 says: "Each button needs a minimum **48x48dp** target; XS/S groups get extra inner padding
specifically to preserve this — **don't reduce it**" and "Minimum widths: XS and S connected button
groups have a 48dp target area and a **48dp minimum width**" (RC-A, Button groups → Accessibility
and → Specs). RF:78 repeats the 48 × 48 rule, RF:82 gives "at least 48 × 48 **CSS pixels**" for web.
- Library does: `<x-button>` solves this for itself with the pseudo-element at
`button.blade.php:172` (`after:min-h-12 after:min-w-12` on `xs`/`sm`). `<x-group>` does **not**: its
segments are plain `<label>`s (`group.blade.php:75-83`) sized `h-8` (xs) or `h-10` (sm)
(`group.blade.php:48-49`) with no target expansion, so the whole `<x-group size="sm">` — the
default, and the only form in the showcase — offers a 40 px-tall target. Separately, nothing
enforces the 48 dp *minimum width*: a connected `<x-button-group connected>` of `sm` icon buttons
is 40 px wide per segment (`button.blade.php:141`), and `groups.css` has no `min-width`.
- Fix: (a) add the same pseudo-element to `group.blade.php:75-83` for `xs`/`sm`
(`after:absolute after:top-1/2 after:left-1/2 after:size-full after:min-h-12 after:min-w-12
after:-translate-x-1/2 after:-translate-y-1/2`); (b) in `groups.css`, add
`[data-button-group='connected'][data-size='xs'] > *, [data-button-group='connected'][data-size='sm'] > * { min-inline-size: 3rem; }`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-06 · split-button · Inner corners are wrong at four of five sizes and morph the wrong way
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says (RC-A, Split button → Specs, from `SplitButton{Size}Tokens.kt`, cross-checked against the
site's own "inner corner radius" figure):
| Size | Inner corner (rest) | Inner corner (hover/press) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| XS | 4dp | 8dp |
| S | 4dp | 12dp |
| M | 4dp | 12dp |
| L | 8dp | 20dp |
| XL | 12dp | 20dp |
Verified directly: `tokens/SplitButtonSmallTokens.kt` — `InnerCornerCornerSize =
CornerValueExtraSmall`, `InnerHoveredCornerCornerSize = InnerPressedCornerCornerSize =
CornerValueMedium`; `tokens/SplitButtonMediumTokens.kt` — the same pair. The inner corner **grows**
under the finger.
- Library does: `resources/views/components/split-button.blade.php:39` emits
`data-button-group="split"`, and `resources/css/components/groups.css:54-66` gives `[data-split]`
the *connected group's* variables — `--group-inner` (rest) and `--group-inner-pressed` (pressed).
Those are 8 px/4 px at `sm` and `md`, 16 px/12 px at `lg`, 20 px/16 px at `xl`
(`groups.css:32-36`). So rest is 8/8/16/20 px where M3 wants 4/4/8/12, and pressed *shrinks* to
4/4/12/16 px where M3 wants it to *grow* to 12/12/20/20. Only `xs` is right at rest (4 px), and its
pressed value (2 px, `groups.css:32`) should be 8 px.
- Fix: give `[data-split]` its own variables in `groups.css` rather than reusing `--group-inner*`,
e.g. `[data-button-group='split'][data-size='sm'] { --split-inner: var(--md-sys-shape-corner-xs);
--split-inner-pressed: var(--md-sys-shape-corner-md); }` per size, and point the `[data-split]` /
`[data-split]:active` rules (`groups.css:54-66`) at them.
- Effort: M
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-07 · split-button · The trailing menu icon is the wrong size at every size step
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: trailing icon 22dp (XS), 22dp (S), 26dp (M), 38dp (L), 50dp (XL) (RC-A, Split button →
Specs; `tokens/SplitButtonSmallTokens.kt` `TrailingIconSize = 22.0.dp`,
`SplitButtonMediumTokens.kt` `= 26.0.dp`).
- Library does: `split-button.blade.php:56-66` renders the trailing half as a plain icon-only
`<x-button>`, which picks its icon size from the icon-button table
(`button.blade.php:155`): 20 / 24 / 24 / 32 / 40 px. Every step is undersized (S is 24 vs 22 —
oversized — and M/L/XL are 2/6/10 px small). The trailing *button widths* are all correct
(48/48/56/96/136 px, `split-button.blade.php:36` plus the icon-button defaults), so only the glyph
is off.
- Fix: pass an explicit icon size from `split-button.blade.php`, e.g. add
`['xs' => 'size-5.5', 'sm' => 'size-5.5', 'md' => 'size-6.5', 'lg' => 'size-9.5', 'xl' => 'size-12.5'][$size]`
to the trailing button's `:class` (Tailwind's 4 px scale gives 22 px as `size-5.5`).
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-08 · fab · The extended FAB's icon↔label gap is too small at md and lg
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: icon↔label gap 8dp (small), **16dp** (medium), **20dp** (large) — RC-A, Extended FAB →
Specs; verified in `tokens/ExtendedFabMediumTokens.kt` (`IconLabelSpace = 16.0.dp`) and
`tokens/ExtendedFabLargeTokens.kt` (`IconLabelSpace = 20.0.dp`).
- Library does: `resources/views/components/fab.blade.php:39` — `gap-2` (8 px) small ✓,
`gap-3` (12 px) medium ✗, `gap-4` (16 px) large ✗.
- Fix: `gap-4` for `md` and `gap-5` for `lg` in `fab.blade.php:39`. (Heights, corners, icon sizes and
the 26 px/28 px paddings on the same line are all correct.)
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-09 · button · The xs button's horizontal padding is 12 px, not 16 dp
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: XS leading/trailing padding = **16dp** (RC-A, Buttons → Specs;
`tokens/ButtonXSmallTokens.kt` `LeadingSpace = 16.0.dp`, `TrailingSpace = 16.0.dp`). The variants
table on the same page makes the point twice: 24 dp is "Not recommended. Use 16dp", and 16 dp is
the Expressive value.
- Library does: `button.blade.php:147` — `'xs' => 'h-8 gap-2 px-3 …'` (12 px). The same 12 px is
written into the group spacing (`groups.css:32`, `--group-pad: 0.75rem`) and into `<x-group>`'s
segments (`group.blade.php:48`), so all three are consistently 4 px short.
- Fix: `px-4` in `button.blade.php:147` and `group.blade.php:48`; `--group-pad: 1rem` in
`groups.css:32`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (visual width of xs buttons changes by 8 px)
### ACT-10 · button-group · A standard group is allowed to wrap onto a second line
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Adaptive/resizing: groups move through layouts as **a single line and never wrap to a
second line**; multiple groups can stack vertically but don't interact with each other" (RC-A,
Button groups → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: `button-group.blade.php:35` adds `flex-wrap` to every non-connected group. On a
narrow window a three-button group breaks into two rows, and the press-expansion rules in
`groups.css:38-48` (which only look at `+` siblings) then compress a neighbour on a different line.
- Fix: drop `'flex-wrap' => ! $connected` from `button-group.blade.php:35`. If overflow is a concern,
M3's answer is a smaller size or fewer buttons, not wrapping.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (a class hook disappears from the rendered output)
### ACT-11 · menu-item · Leading and trailing space is 12 px where the Expressive menu wants 16 dp
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: `tokens/SegmentedMenuTokens.kt` — `ItemLeadingSpace = 16.0dp`, `ItemTrailingSpace = 16.0dp`,
`ItemBetweenSpace = 12.0dp`. (The site publishes no numbers for the Expressive vertical menu — RC-A,
Menus → Specs says the measurements section is diagram-only — so the token file is the only source,
and it is the one the component's own header comment cites.)
- Library does: `menu-item.blade.php:46` — `px-3` (12 px) with `gap-3` (12 px). The gap is right; the
side padding is the *baseline* menu's 12 dp (RC-A, Menus → Specs, baseline table), not the
Expressive one. `menu-group.blade.php:6` and `menu-separator.blade.php:3` inherit the same 12 px.
- Fix: `px-4` on `menu-item.blade.php:46`, and `px-4`/`mx-4` on the group label and the separator so
the list stays aligned.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-12 · menu-separator · Divider padding is 4 px, half of M3's 8 dp
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Divider top/bottom padding | **8dp**; Divider height | 1dp" (RC-A, Menus → Specs).
- Library does: `menu-separator.blade.php:3` — `my-1` (4 px) with `h-px` ✓ and
`bg-outline-variant` ✓.
- Fix: `my-2` in `menu-separator.blade.php:3`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-13 · menu.js · Disabled menu items cannot be focused
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Interactability: **disabled items can still receive focus** (just aren't selectable);
dividers and gaps can never receive focus" (RC-A, Menus → Accessibility). The guidelines page adds
"Disable a menu item that's conditionally unavailable rather than removing it" — the point of
keeping it is that people can find out it exists.
- Library does: `resources/js/menu.js:183` filters them out —
`.filter((item) => item.getAttribute('aria-disabled') !== 'true')` — so arrow keys, Home/End and
typeahead skip them entirely, and `menu-item.blade.php:53` also sets `pointer-events-none`. A
disabled item is announced only if the user happens to read the menu with a virtual cursor.
- Fix: keep disabled items in `items()` and instead refuse activation (the check already exists in
`menu.js:237`). Two lists are cleanest: `items()` for focus movement, `items().filter(enabled)` for
activation. `menu-item.blade.php:53` can keep `pointer-events-none` for the pointer.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-14 · fab · The FAB's icon is drawn outlined
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Icon (should be **filled**, not outlined…)" (RC-A, FAB → Anatomy) and "icon should be
filled (not outlined) and unambiguous" (→ Behaviour and guidelines). The same rule is why
`<x-button>` fills a *selected* toggle's icon.
- Library does: `fab.blade.php:68` renders `<x-icon :name="$icon" :class="$iconSize" />` with no
`filled`, so the Material Symbol's outlined face is used. `fab-menu.blade.php:53` has the same
issue for the FAB-menu trigger, and `fab-menu-item.blade.php:43` for its items.
- Fix: add `filled` to `fab.blade.php:68` and `fab-menu.blade.php:53`. (Leave the FAB-menu *items*
outlined only if you decide they read as list items rather than FABs; M3's FAB-menu anatomy shows
filled icons there too.)
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-15 · button / icon button · A default (non-toggle) icon button uses an outlined icon
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "**Default icon buttons should use filled icons**; toggle buttons use outlined icon
unselected → filled icon selected" (RC-A, Icon buttons → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: `button.blade.php:213` — `:filled="$selected === true"`. For an icon button that is
not a toggle (`$selected === null`) that evaluates to `false`, so the outlined face is drawn where
M3 asks for the filled one. The toggle half of the rule is implemented correctly.
- Fix: `:filled="$selected === true || ($iconOnly && $selected === null)"` in `button.blade.php:213`.
This is a visible, opinionated change across every icon button in an application — if the library
prefers outlined icon buttons, say so in the header comment as a deliberate deviation rather than
leaving it implicit.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (visual change)
### ACT-16 · fab · `disabled` exists on a component M3 says must never be disabled
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "**Never disable a FAB** — if its action is unavailable, remove the FAB entirely instead"
(RC-A, FAB → Accessibility). RF:389 repeats it from the states side: "'if the action… is
unavailable, the FAB shouldn't appear' (don't just disable it) — a Don't example specifically about
FABs". The same page's inheritance table lists FABs under "Disabled … NOT inherited by" (RF:381).
- Library does: `fab.blade.php:23` declares a `disabled` prop and `fab.blade.php:52` paints the full
disabled treatment (`disabled:bg-on-surface/10 disabled:text-on-surface/38 disabled:shadow-none`).
Nothing in the header comment or in SKILL.md (`### <x-fab>`, line 277) warns against it — SKILL.md
simply lists `disabled` among the props.
- Fix: cheapest honest fix is documentation — say in `fab.blade.php`'s header and in SKILL.md that M3
forbids a disabled FAB and that the prop exists only for a form-submit FAB that must block a double
submit. Removing the prop is the M3-pure option and would break callers.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (if documented), yes (if removed)
### ACT-17 · toast / button · The snackbar covers the `fab` button on a phone
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Placement: bottom of the UI, in front of main content; **nudge upward to avoid
overlapping FABs**/docked toolbars… Snackbars should appear **above** FABs — never in front of or
behind one" (RC-A, Snackbar → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: both sit at the same offset. `toast.blade.php:36` —
`fixed inset-x-4 z-50 bottom-[calc(var(--material-bottom-bar,0px)+1rem)]`; `button.blade.php:177`
(the `fab` prop, below `sm`) — `max-sm:fixed max-sm:end-4
max-sm:bottom-[calc(var(--material-bottom-bar,0px)+1rem)] max-sm:z-30`. The snackbar is full width
below `sm` (`sm:w-auto` only applies from 640 px up, `toast.blade.php:51`), so it lands *on top of*
the FAB, which is exactly the "never in front of" case. `<x-fab>` placed by the application has the
same problem, since the toast knows nothing about it.
- Fix: mirror the existing `--material-bottom-bar` mechanism — have `<x-button fab>` (and the
documented wrapper for `<x-fab>`) publish `--material-fab: 4.5rem`, and make `toast.blade.php:36`
read `bottom-[calc(var(--material-bottom-bar,0px)+var(--material-fab,0px)+1rem)]`. Document the
variable next to `--material-bottom-extra` in SKILL.md's "Safe areas".
- Effort: M
- Breaks API? no (a new opt-in CSS variable)
### ACT-18 · toast / alert · 40 px controls inside the snackbar and the alert miss the 48 px target
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: web interaction targets are "at least 48 × 48 **CSS pixels**" (RF:82), and "Interaction
targets must stay ≥48×48dp even when the visible element is scaled down… a 36dp-tall button can
keep a 48dp target" (RF:561-563).
- Library does: `toast.blade.php:73` (the action, `h-10` = 40 px), `toast.blade.php:77` (the close
button, `size-10` = 40 px) and `alert.blade.php:61` (the dismiss button, `size-10`). None of them
has the pseudo-element trick `<x-button>` uses at `button.blade.php:172`. The snackbar container is
`min-h-12` (48 px) so there is no room to grow vertically without the pseudo-element.
- Fix: add `relative after:absolute after:top-1/2 after:left-1/2 after:size-full after:min-h-12
after:min-w-12 after:-translate-x-1/2 after:-translate-y-1/2` to those three buttons (they already
carry `state-layer`, which sets `position: relative`).
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-19 · button / group / menu-item / fab-menu · Colour is animated on the overshooting spatial spring
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Two spring **styles**: **Spatial** (movement — x/y position, rotation, size, rounded
corners; overshoots and bounces into place) and **Effects** (color, opacity; **no overshoot**)"
(RS:472-473). `resources/css/tokens/motion.css:11-13` states the same rule in the library's own
words: "effects — colour and opacity. Critically damped; **a colour must never overshoot**."
- Library does: four components put colour on the spatial spring, whose fast variant peaks at 1.094
(`motion.css:28-30`):
- `button.blade.php:163` — `transition-[border-radius,background-color,color,box-shadow,padding,margin] … ease-spatial-fast`
- `group.blade.php:77` — `transition-[border-radius,background-color,color] … ease-spatial-fast`
- `menu-item.blade.php:48` — `transition-[border-radius,background-color] … ease-spatial-fast`
- `fab-menu.blade.php:49` — `transition-[border-radius,background-color,color,box-shadow] … ease-spatial-default`
- Fix: split each into two transitions, e.g. on `button.blade.php:163`
`transition-[border-radius,padding,margin] duration-(--md-sys-motion-spatial-fast-duration) ease-spatial-fast`
plus a second declaration for `background-color,color,box-shadow` with
`duration-(--md-sys-motion-effects-fast-duration) ease-effects-fast`. Tailwind cannot emit two
`transition` shorthands on one element, so this wants a small utility in
`resources/css/components/` (e.g. `.state-transition`) rather than utility classes.
- Effort: M
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-20 · toast · The snackbar draws a status icon, which M3 tells you not to
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "**Avoid icons in a snackbar** (use a dialog instead if an icon feels necessary); avoid
stylized text/inline links" (RC-A, Snackbar → Behaviour and guidelines). The specs page does list an
optional icon slot, but it is the *close* affordance ("2. Icon (optional close affordance) — …the
guidelines page anatomy instead lists 'Close button (optional)' in the same slot", RC-A, Snackbar →
Anatomy).
- Library does: `toast.blade.php:53-65` draws a `check_circle` / `error` / `warning` / `info` glyph
for every typed toast, and `Toasts.php:19-37` makes typing the *only* API — `$this->success(…)`
always sets `type: 'success'`. The glyphs are painted in the library's own
`inverse-success/error/warning/info` roles (`scheme.css:76-79`), which is a sound extension of
`inverse-primary`, so the colour is not the problem; the icon's presence is.
- Fix: either drop the leading icon and let the type only choose the announcement role, or document
the deviation in `toast.blade.php`'s header (it currently presents the icon as M3-sanctioned: "A
type draws its state icon in the inverse state colour"). If the icon stays, keep it out of the
accessible name — it is already `aria-hidden` via `<x-icon>`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no (if documented), yes for the visual contract (if removed)
### ACT-21 · fab-menu · The trigger has no accessible name unless `label` is passed
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Labeling (Web): the FAB menu is a FAB + Menu combo — follow FAB accessibility guidance for
the trigger… **the FAB's own accessibility label should describe what menu it opens**"; and for the
close button "Label 'Toggle menu', Role Button, State Expanded/Collapsed" (RC-A, FAB menu →
Accessibility).
- Library does: `fab-menu.blade.php:46` writes `aria-label` only `@if ($label)`. `label` has no
default (`fab-menu.blade.php:21`), and the only content of the button is two `<x-icon>`s, which are
`aria-hidden="true"` by default (`icon.blade.php:27`). A `<x-fab-menu>` without `label` is therefore
an unnamed button. `<x-menu>` has the same shape but delegates naming to the trigger the caller
supplies, so the gap is specific to the FAB menu, which builds its own button.
- Fix: make `label` required, or default it to `__('Toggle menu')` in `fab-menu.blade.php:21` and
always emit `aria-label`. Note the expanded/collapsed state is already handled — `menu.js:140`
writes `aria-haspopup`/`aria-controls`/`aria-expanded` onto the button it finds in the trigger.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-22 · rich-tooltip · The bubble is never associated with its trigger
- Severity: should-fix
- M3 says: "Assistive tech must be able to **receive the tooltip's message** and activate it via
keyboard/switch input" (RC-A, Tooltips → Accessibility); "Role: **Tooltip** (or an equivalent role)
on the container".
- Library does: `rich-tooltip.blade.php:41-56` gives the bubble `role="tooltip"` (or `dialog` when
`persistent`) and an `aria-label` of the title, but nothing points at it: the trigger gets no
`aria-describedby`, and for `persistent` no `aria-haspopup="dialog"`/`aria-expanded` either. A
screen-reader user focusing the trigger hears only the trigger's own label; the explanation — the
whole point of a rich tooltip — is never announced. (`<x-tooltip>` is deliberately `aria-hidden`
and documents why, which is defensible for an icon button whose `aria-label` *is* the tooltip text;
it is not defensible for the standalone form, e.g.
`showcase/sections/communication.blade.php:30-32`, where the tip says something the trigger does
not.)
- Fix: in `rich-tooltip.blade.php`, put `aria-describedby="material-rich-tooltip-{{ $key }}"` on the
wrapper's focusable child (or document that the caller must), and for `persistent` add
`aria-haspopup="dialog"` + an `aria-expanded` written by `rich-tooltip.js`. For the standalone
`<x-tooltip>`, either drop `aria-hidden` and describe the trigger, or document in SKILL.md that the
trigger must carry the same words itself.

### ACT-23 · badge · The floating badge sits 24 px off M3's anchor geometry
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Small badge: distance from top-trailing icon corner to bottom-leading badge corner (H×W)
| **6×6dp**"; "Large badge: … | **14×12dp**" (RC-A, Badges → Specs). For a 24 dp icon that puts a
small badge flush in the icon's top-trailing corner (top 0, end 0) and a large badge at
top 2 px / start `calc(100% - 12px)`.
- Library does: `badge.blade.php:79-80` — `absolute top-0.5 end-0.5` for the dot (2 px in on both
axes, where M3 wants 0) and `absolute -top-1 start-[calc(100%-0.75rem)]` for the count (the `start`
is exactly right; the top is 4 px where M3 wants 2 px).
- Fix: `top-0 end-0` for the dot and `-top-0.5` for the count in `badge.blade.php:79-80`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-24 · badge · The `outline` status badge draws its edge in `outline-variant`
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: a badge "must be ≥**3:1**, same rule whether default or custom color" (RC-A, Badges →
Accessibility). `outline-variant` is M3's *decorative* boundary role (dividers); `outline` is the
role for a boundary that must be seen.
- Library does: `badge.blade.php:68` — `'border-outline-variant text-on-surface-variant'`. On
`surface` in the library's own scheme `outline-variant` is around 1.5:1, so the badge's shape is
barely visible. (`<x-button variant="outlined">` uses the same role, but there the M3 table
explicitly names it: "Outlined container … **Outline variant (outline)**" — RC-A, Buttons → colour
table — so the button is inside spec and the badge, which has no M3 table, is not.)
- Fix: `border-outline` in `badge.blade.php:68`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-25 · tooltip.js · A tooltip disappears the instant the pointer leaves
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "tooltips are **transient by default** — both plain and rich tooltips disappear **1.5
seconds** after the cursor/focus leaves the target region; opening a new tooltip immediately closes
any other open one (**only one tooltip visible at a time**)" (RC-A, Tooltips → Specs).
- Library does: `resources/js/tooltip.js:40-43` hides on `pointerleave`, `pointerdown` and
`focusout` with no delay; `rich-tooltip.js:43` uses a 200 ms grace instead of 1500 ms. Nothing
closes other open tooltips — because the bubble is `popover="manual"`
(`tooltip.blade.php:35`), a tooltip held open by keyboard focus stays up while a second one opens
on hover.
- Fix: `hide(1500)` in `tooltip.js` (add the same `delay` parameter `rich-tooltip.js:37` already
has), and keep a module-level `let open = null` that `show()` hides before showing its own.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-26 · menu · The open/close transition is a plain fade
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Motion: menus use an **enter/exit transition tying them visually to their trigger**; the
trigger shows a pressed state while the menu is open" (RC-A, Menus → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: `menu.blade.php:72` transitions `opacity` only — `translate` is in the
`transition-[…]` list but no translate or scale value is ever set, so the menu simply fades in
place. The library's own `::picker(select)` does it properly (`menu.css:116-128`: opacity + scale
0.95 from `transform-origin: top`, on the spatial spring).
- Fix: mirror `menu.css:116-128` on `menu.blade.php:72` — add
`origin-top scale-95 open:scale-100 starting:open:scale-95` and put the scale on the spatial spring
while opacity stays on effects.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-27 · menu-item · A selected item is told by colour and shape only
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "by default, selected items change **both shape and color**; default contrast between
selected/unselected items is 3:1; it's **recommended to add yet another cue** on top (e.g. a
checkmark) so selection isn't conveyed by color/shape alone" (RC-A, Menus → Accessibility).
- Library does: `menu-item.blade.php:51` changes container colour and corner, and
`menu-item.blade.php:87` fills the leading icon; `aria-checked` is set
(`menu-item.blade.php:57`), so assistive tech is fine. No visible tick. Again the library's own
select menu does it — `menu.css:179-188` draws a `::checkmark` at the row's end.
- Fix: when `$selected === true` and no `iconRight` is given, render a trailing `check` icon in
`menu-item.blade.php:105-107`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-28 · menu-item · 44 px rows, where the rest of the library's menus use 48 px
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: `tokens/SegmentedMenuTokens.kt` `Item = 44.0.dp` (what the component's header cites, and it
is correct), while the baseline menu's published spec is "List item height | **48dp**" (RC-A, Menus
→ Specs) and the same page's accessibility section asks for "≥**48×48dp** targets" inside menu item
slots.
- Library does: `menu-item.blade.php:46` — `min-h-11` (44 px). `resources/css/components/menu.css:55`
(`.field-option`) and `menu.css:134` (native `option`) both use `min-block-size: 3rem` (48 px), so
a `<x-menu>` and a `<x-select>` dropdown in the same form do not match.
- Fix: either `min-h-12` on `menu-item.blade.php:46` (consistent, and clears the 48 px target), or
keep 44 px and note the inconsistency deliberately. Both readings are defensible; the token is the
more specific source, the accessibility page the more binding one.

### ACT-29 · split-button · The trailing chevron is not nudged off centre
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Menu icon offset from center when unselected (site, specs page): XS/S = **1dp**, M =
2dp, L = 3dp, XL = 6dp" (RC-A, Split button → Specs) — the chevron sits slightly towards the
leading button so the pair reads as one control.
- Library does: `split-button.blade.php:56-66` centres the icon (`justify-center` from
`button.blade.php:162`).
- Fix: add a per-size negative `ms-px`/`-me-*` or `translate-x` to the trailing button's `:class` in
`split-button.blade.php:36`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-30 · split-button · The chevron rotates on the expressive spring
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "The trailing (menu) button uses the **standard motion scheme, not expressive**, when
rotating; it rotates 180° inward on open/close" (RC-A, Split button → Behaviour and guidelines).
- Library does: `groups.css:85-87` — `transition: rotate var(--md-sys-motion-spatial-fast-duration)
var(--md-sys-motion-spatial-fast)`, i.e. the expressive spring, which overshoots past 180° and
comes back. The 180° rotation itself (`groups.css:89-90`) is right.
- Fix: the library has no standard-scheme spring token; `--md-sys-motion-easing-standard` with
`--md-sys-motion-duration-short` (`motion.css:52,58`) is the closest published equivalent.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-31 · fab · The small extended FAB's minimum width is 56 px, not 80 dp
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: baseline extended FAB "Container width | Dynamic, **80dp min**" (RC-A, Extended FAB →
Specs). `ExtendedFabSmallTokens.kt` publishes no minimum, and the small extended FAB is the
baseline's replacement, so 80 dp is the only number on record.
- Library does: `fab.blade.php:39` — `min-w-14` (56 px) for `sm`, `min-w-20`/`min-w-24` for md/lg
(which match those sizes' heights rather than any published minimum).
- Fix: `min-w-20` (80 px) for the small extended FAB in `fab.blade.php:39`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-32 · fab-menu · Margins do not grow in large windows, and items cannot scroll
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Menu/FAB margin from screen edge | 16dp (compact/medium windows), **24dp** (large/extra-large
windows)"; "Extra bottom margin when opened from medium FAB | 40dp… large FAB | 56dp"; "On short
viewports (e.g. landscape phone), items can **scroll — behind the close button**, which stays
fixed" (RC-A, FAB menu → Specs and → Behaviour).
- Library does: `<x-fab-menu>` does not place itself (by design), and both the header comment
(`fab-menu.blade.php:3`) and SKILL.md line 283 show a fixed `end-4 bottom-4` (16 px) with no
large-window variant. The list (`fab-menu.blade.php:69-75`) has no `max-height`/`overflow`, so on a
landscape phone six 56 px items plus gaps (~360 px) push the menu off screen.
- Fix: document `sm:end-6 sm:bottom-6`-style margins in the header and SKILL.md (Tailwind has no
1200 px breakpoint by default — see the breakpoint map), and add
`max-h-[calc(100vh-8rem)] overflow-y-auto` to `fab-menu.blade.php:70`.

### ACT-33 · fab-menu / menu · Items enter but never exit
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Motion: FAB transforms into the close button; items animate in/out via an **enter-exit
transition**, originating from one of the FAB's trailing corners" (RC-A, FAB menu → Behaviour).
- Library does: `fab-menu-item.blade.php:27` has `starting:translate-y-2 starting:opacity-0` for the
entry, but the popover is hidden with `display: none` on close and the items carry no
`transition-discrete`/`@starting-style` exit pair, so they vanish instantly. `<x-menu>` fades out
correctly (`menu.blade.php:72` includes `display,overlay` and `transition-discrete`).
- Fix: add `transition-[translate,opacity,display,overlay] transition-discrete` to
`fab-menu-item.blade.php:27` and drive the closed state from the popover's `:not(:popover-open)`.

### ACT-34 · toast · Escape does not dismiss a focused snackbar
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: "Keyboard: Tab moves between interactive elements; **Esc dismisses the focused snackbar**";
and "on web, provide a documented keyboard shortcut (e.g. Alt+G) to jump focus to a snackbar with an
action" (RC-A, Snackbar → Accessibility).
- Library does: `snackbar.js` binds no key handler; `toast.blade.php:41-82` binds only pointer and
focus events. Escape does nothing, and there is no way to reach an actioned snackbar from the
keyboard except by tabbing past the whole page (the host is the last element in `<body>`).
- Fix: add a `keydown` listener in `snackbar.js:38` that calls `dismiss()` on Escape while the
snackbar contains `document.activeElement`; optionally a documented shortcut that focuses
`[data-toast-action]`.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-35 · toast · The description line is dimmed with an opacity instead of a role
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: the snackbar's roles are "container = **Inverse surface**; supporting text/icon = **Inverse
on surface**; action label = **Inverse primary**" (RC-A, Snackbar → Specs) — there is no fourth
role, and supporting text is one block of up to two lines.
- Library does: `toast.blade.php:69` — `type-body-md opacity-80` on the description, i.e.
inverse-on-surface at 80 %, a colour outside the roles that also drops the contrast of the longer
half of the message.
- Fix: drop `opacity-80` and let both lines be `inverse-on-surface`; M3 distinguishes them by position,
not tone.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? no
### ACT-36 · alert · `role="alert"` on content that is present at page load
- Severity: nice-to-have
- M3 says: for the nearest equivalent (the snackbar) "use a **live region with a 'polite'/queued**
announcement (**not assertive**)" (RC-A, Snackbar → Accessibility). M3 publishes no alert/banner
component at all — the current site has no banner page; the only survivals are legacy mentions in
the states inheritance list (RF:384) and the elevation table (RS:320).
- Library does: `alert.blade.php:38` — `role="{{ in_array($color, ['error','warning']) ? 'alert' :
'status' }}"`. `role="alert"` is an assertive live region; when the alert is part of the rendered
page (the normal case — the showcase renders four of them statically,
`showcase/sections/communication.blade.php:47-53`) some screen readers announce it over the page
title on load, and a Livewire morph that re-renders the region can re-announce it.
- Fix: default both to `role="status"` and add an opt-in prop (`assertive`) for the case where the
alert really is injected in response to an action.
- Effort: S
- Breaks API? yes (the rendered role changes; tests asserting `role="alert"` would need updating)
## Deliberate deviations
- **The text button's label is `primary`, not `on-surface-variant`** (`button.blade.php:20-22`,
`:100-127`). Holds up. The M3 specs table reads "Text icon & label | **Primary** | -- | --" (RC-A,
Buttons → colour table), and the M2→M3 notes say "neutral text button no longer recommended". The
library is right, and it is also right that an *icon-only* text button (M3's "standard icon button")
takes `on-surface-variant` — "Standard icon | On surface variant | On surface variant | Primary"
(RC-A, Icon buttons → colour table). Both readings are implemented in the same `match` at
`button.blade.php:123-126`, which is exactly correct.
- **A selected round toggle button turns square** (`button.blade.php:132-136`). Ambiguous, and the
library picked the site's reading. The guidelines page says "By default, toggle buttons change from
**round to square when selected**" (RC-A, Buttons → Behaviour), but `tokens/ButtonSmallTokens.kt`
and `ButtonMediumTokens.kt` both set `SelectedContainerShapeRound = CornerFull`, i.e. a selected
round *label* button stays round in Compose. For *icon* buttons the tokens agree with the site
(`SmallIconButtonTokens.SelectedContainerShapeRound = CornerMedium`,
`…ShapeSquare = CornerFull`; `LargeIconButtonTokens`/`XLargeIconButtonTokens` are the same pattern
with ExtraLarge), and the library implements that swap exactly. Worth a line in the header comment
saying which source won for label buttons.
- **A selected text button takes the tonal container** (`button.blade.php:18`, `:123-126`). Holds up as
an extension: M3 gives text buttons no toggle states at all, so anything is an invention, and
borrowing the tonal selected colours keeps it inside the roles and satisfies the two-indicator rule.
- **Press expansion is a fixed step per size, not 15 % of width** (`groups.css:9`, `:32-48`). Holds up.
`ButtonGroupDefaults.ExpandedRatio = 0.15f` and the layout applies `expandedRatio * width / 2` per
side, clamped to the neighbour's padding (fetched live from androidx-main `ButtonGroup.kt:186`,
`:482`, `:500-511`). CSS cannot express a percentage of an intrinsic width, and every size's
`--group-grow` (4/6/8/16/20 px) is safely below its `--group-pad`, so the neighbour never reaches
negative padding. The animation uses `ease-spatial-fast`, matching Compose's
`MotionSchemeKeyTokens.FastSpatial` (`ButtonGroup.kt`, defaultAnimationSpec).
- **`--group-full` is half the height rather than `corner-full`** (`groups.css:19-23`, `:32-36`).
Holds up, and the values are right: 16/20/28/48/68 px are exactly half of 32/40/56/96/136 dp, which
is what `ConnectedButtonGroupSmallTokens.SelectedInnerCornerCornerSizePercent = 50%` means.
- **The `fab` prop on `<x-button>`** (`button.blade.php:177`). Inside spec as far as the *component*
goes: an extended FAB at 56 px, corner 16 dp, title-medium, primary-container, elevation 3 and a
16 px margin, which is the small extended FAB exactly (`ExtendedFabSmallTokens.kt`). Two caveats:
M3 says an extended FAB needs "**No tooltip** — the visible label already serves that role
(explicit Don't)" while `button.blade.php:225` will happily attach one; and the elevation never
reaches Level 4 on hover because `max-sm:shadow-elevation-3` outranks `hover:shadow-elevation-1`
in Tailwind's variant order.
- **`<x-group>` binds native radios/checkboxes, so the arrow keys move the choice**
(`group.blade.php:9-10`, `:84-91`). Ambiguous. M3's button-group accessibility says "Keyboard: **Tab**
navigates to the next button; Space or Enter activates/selects the focused button" (RC-A, Button
groups → Accessibility), which is roving-tabindex-free but also not a radio group. The library's
choice matches WAI-ARIA's radiogroup pattern and gives `wire:model` for free; it is a defensible
reading of "single-select, selection-required", and the `multiple` form (checkboxes) does behave
exactly as M3 describes.
- **The alert exists at all** (`alert.blade.php:1-10`). Holds up, with a caveat. M3 publishes no
banner and no alert; its own guidance routes in-page notices to a snackbar (transient, low priority)
or a dialog (blocking, high priority) — and an "your storage is almost full" notice is neither. The
component stays inside the foundations: container roles only, `rounded-corner-md`, title-small +
body-medium, text buttons in the actions slot. The header comment should add *when not to* use it
(a confirmation belongs in `<x-modal>`, a result of an action in `<x-toast>`), since the M3 site
will not tell a reader that.
- **`<x-stat>` and `<x-empty-state>`** (`stat.blade.php:3-8`, `empty-state.blade.php:8-11`). Hold up.
Both draw only from M3's roles (`surface-container`, `secondary-container`/`on-secondary-container`),
the shape scale (`rounded-corner-lg`), the Expressive emphasized type roles
(`type-emphasized-headline-md`, which `type.css` does define) and the Expressive shape library
(`cookie-9`). The counting figure honours reduced motion by reading
`--md-sys-motion-spatial-slow-duration`, which `motion.css:63-74` zeroes (`figure.js:59-64`, `:75`).
Nothing here draws a colour outside the roles.
- **`<x-progress>`'s non-primary track colours** (`progress.blade.php:64-68`). Holds up. M3 fixes the
track at `secondary-container` for the primary indicator (RC-A, Progress indicators → Specs), which
the library does for `primary` and `secondary`; the extra colours take their own container, which is
the only consistent extension.
- **`thick` grows the container beyond M3's `WaveHeight`** (`progress.blade.php:11-13`,
`:154-162`). Holds up: M3 publishes 10 dp only for the 4 dp stroke, "Track thickness | Configurable"
is an Expressive configuration with no published table, and adding the extra stroke to the container
keeps the 3 dp amplitude intact (`progress.js:1333`, `waveHeight = height - stroke`).
## Aligned
Verified correct — no need to re-check:
- **Button sizes**: 32/40/56/96/136 px heights, 8/8/8/12/16 px gaps, 20/20/24/32/40 px icons,
16/24/48/64 px padding at sm/md/lg/xl, 1/1/1/2/3 px outlines (`button.blade.php:147-158` against
RC-A Buttons → Specs and `tokens/Button*.kt`).
- **Button corners**: square 12/12/16/28/28 px and pressed 8/8/12/16/16 px, and the pressed value is
applied to round buttons too, as M3 requires ("round and square buttons should have the same pressed
shape") — `button.blade.php:129-136`, `:166`.
- **Button type roles per size**: label-large / label-large / title-medium / headline-small /
headline-large. Confirmed live against androidx-main `Button.kt:1645-1648`
(`buttonHeight < mediumHeight -> labelLarge; < largeHeight -> titleMedium; < xLargeHeight ->
headlineSmall; else -> headlineLarge`).
- **Every toggle colour pair**, all four variants × three states, matches the specs table exactly
(`button.blade.php:118-127`): filled unselected = surface-container/on-surface-variant, tonal
selected = secondary/on-secondary, outlined selected = inverse-surface/inverse-on-surface, elevated
selected = primary/on-primary, standard icon button selected = primary.
- **Icon-button widths**: all fifteen values (narrow/default/wide × XSXL) derive exactly from the
token paddings — 28/32/40, 32/40/52, 48/56/72, 64/96/128, 104/136/184 px (`button.blade.php:140-144`).
- **Icon-button selected shape swap** (round ⇄ square, `button.blade.php:133`) matches
`Small/Large/XLargeIconButtonTokens.SelectedContainerShape*` at every size. (RC-A's note that the
swap is "inverted for XS/S/M vs L/XL" is wrong — the token files are consistent, and the library is
right.)
- **Disabled**: content at 38 %, container at 10 % (`button.blade.php:174-175`) matches
`FilledButtonTokens/TonalButtonTokens/ElevatedButtonTokens.DisabledContainerOpacity = 0.1f` and
`DisabledLabelTextOpacity = 0.38f`; elevation removed when disabled ✓.
- **Elevation**: filled/tonal rest 0 → hover Level 1; elevated rest Level 1 → hover Level 2
(`button.blade.php:169-170`); FAB rest Level 3 → hover Level 4 (`fab.blade.php:49`); menu Level 2
(`menu.blade.php:70`); snackbar Level 3 (`toast.blade.php:51`); rich tooltip Level 2
(`rich-tooltip.blade.php:50`); plain tooltip none (`tooltip.blade.php:40`). All match.
- **48 px touch target on xs/sm buttons** (`button.blade.php:172`).
- **State layer**: content colour at 8 % hover / 10 % focus / 10 % press, hover gated behind
`@media (hover: hover)`, suppressed when disabled (`state.css:13-44`) — matches RF:367-375 exactly,
including "the state layer's color equals the content's 'on' color" (it uses `currentColor`).
- **Focus ring**: 3 px `secondary`, 2 px offset, keyboard-only (`state.css:46-53`), and
`SegmentedMenuTokens.ItemFocusIndicatorColor = Secondary` confirms the role for menus.
- **Standard group spacing**: 18/12/8/8/8 px (`button-group.blade.php:36-38`).
- **Connected group**: 2 px gaps and inner corners 4/8/8/16/20 px, pressed smaller, selected at 50 %
of the height (`button-group.blade.php:34`, `groups.css:32-36`, `:54-71`).
- **Split button**: 2 px between halves, leading padding 12/10 (xs) and 16/12 (sm) px, symmetric
24/48/64 px at md/lg/xl, trailing button widths 48/48/56/96/136 px, outer corners full, trailing
half rounds fully while open, chevron rotates 180°, `text` variant excluded, menu 4 px away,
`aria-expanded` on the trailing button, default label "More options"
(`split-button.blade.php:33-66`, `groups.css:68-90`).
- **FAB**: 56/80/96 px with 16/20/28 px corners and 24/28/32 px icons; primary/secondary/tertiary
container by default with the Expressive non-container styles under `variant="filled"`; no small FAB
and no surface style (`fab.blade.php:34-42`).
- **FAB menu**: 56 px close button, full corner when open, 20 px close icon, 8 px to the first item,
56 px items with full corners, 24 px icons, 8 px icon gap, 24 px padding, 4 px between items,
elevation 3 throughout, trailing-edge alignment (`fab-menu.blade.php:48-75`,
`fab-menu-item.blade.php:25`) — every number matches `tokens/FabMenuBaselineTokens.kt`.
- **Menu container**: surface-container-low / tertiary-container for `vibrant`, 16 px corner,
elevation 2, 112280 px width (`menu.blade.php:70-79`) — matches
`StandardMenuTokens.ContainerColor`, `VibrantMenuTokens`, `SegmentedMenuTokens.ContainerShape =
CornerLarge`, `ContainerElevation = Level2`, and the baseline width table.
- **Menu item**: body-large label, 20 px icons, 4 px corners opening to 12 px at the ends, selected =
tertiary-container with a 12 px corner, body-medium description, label-small trailing text — all
five confirmed against `SegmentedMenuTokens` (`ItemLabelTextFont = BodyLarge`, `ItemLeadingIconSize
= 20dp`, `ItemShape = CornerExtraSmall`, `ItemFirstChildShape = CornerMedium`, `ItemSelectedShape =
CornerMedium`, `ItemSupportingTextFont = BodyMedium`, `ItemTrailingSupportingTextFont = LabelSmall`).
- **Menu keyboard**: Enter/Space/Down open on the first item, Up on the last, arrows/Home/End move,
typeahead, Tab closes, Escape closes and returns focus to the trigger, activation closes unless
`keep-open` (`menu.js:153-242`, `menu.blade.php:53-55`) — the WAI-ARIA menu-button pattern, and it
matches M3's own keyboard table apart from submenus.
- **`current` uses `secondary-container`** (`menu-item.blade.php:52`) — the navigation-indicator role,
correctly distinguished from a checked choice.
- **Badge**: 6 px dot, 16 px tall count with a 16 px minimum width and 4 px padding, label-small,
full corners, error/on-error by default, `aria-hidden` unless labelled, `max` overflow to "999+"
within M3's four-character limit (`badge.blade.php:74-85`) — matches `tokens/BadgeTokens.kt`.
- **Progress**: 4 px (8 px thick) stroke, 40 px circular (48 px wavy), 4 px track gap, 4 px stop
indicator on linear determinate only, primary indicator with a secondary-container track, 40/20/15 px
wavelengths, 3 dp linear amplitude, round caps, reduced-motion handling, `role="progressbar"` with
`aria-valuenow` only while determinate (`progress.blade.php:70-197`, `progress.js:61-79`, `:1333`).
- **Loading indicator**: 48 px container, 38 px shape, primary by default,
on-primary-container-on-primary-container when `contained`, `role="progressbar"`, rests under
reduced motion (`loading.blade.php:27-42`) — matches `LoadingIndicatorTokens` and the contained
colour rule exactly.
- **Snackbar colours and type**: inverse-surface container, inverse-on-surface text, inverse-primary
label-large action rendered as a text button, body-medium supporting text, 4 px corner, elevation 3,
48 px single-line height, one at a time, 4 s default inside M3's 410 s range, hover/focus pauses,
never steals focus (`toast.blade.php:51-73`, `snackbar.js:13`, `:84-117`) — matches
`tokens/SnackbarTokens.kt` value for value.
- **Plain tooltip**: inverse-surface, inverse-on-surface, body-small, 4 px corner, 8 px horizontal
padding giving a 24 px container, 4 px from the target, no elevation, flips when there is no room
(`tooltip.blade.php:40-45`).
- **Rich tooltip**: surface-container, 12 px corner, elevation 2, 12/8/16 px padding, title-small
subhead and body-medium text in on-surface-variant, label-large primary actions, persistent opens on
press and light-dismisses, the pointer can travel onto the bubble to reach the actions
(`rich-tooltip.blade.php:50-65`, `rich-tooltip.js:20-46`).
- **Motion springs**: damping 0.6 / stiffness 800 fast-spatial and 1.0 / 3800 fast-effects
(`motion.css:28-42`) match RS:524-525 exactly, and every duration is zeroed under reduced motion.
## Missing
- **Submenus** (`<x-menu>`): M3's Expressive vertical menu specifies submenus, the Left/Right arrow
keys that open and close them, and the shape morph that marks the active one ("the focused
submenu's corners become more rounded while others become less rounded"). Nothing in the library
implements them; `menu.js:201-219` has no Left/Right case.
- **Grouped menu layout by gap**: M3's Expressive "Grouped" layout separates clusters with a *gap*
(`SegmentedMenuTokens.SegmentedGap = 2dp`, `GroupPadding = 4dp`, `GroupShape = CornerSmall`).
`<x-menu-group>` implements the labelled form and `<x-menu-separator>` the divider form — which is
what M3 recommends for web ("on web, use dividers to separate items") — but the gap layout itself,
and the 2 px gap between adjacent items that `ItemShape = 4dp` corners imply, are absent.
- **Menus as a filtering surface / embedded text field** ("autocomplete", RC-A Menus → Behaviour).
Partly covered by `<x-choices searchable>` in another group.
- **Square-by-default button groups**: M3 lists "Default shape | Round, **square**" as a button-group
configuration. `<x-button-group>` has no `shape` prop; the corner variables in `groups.css` assume a
round group, so a group of `shape="square"` buttons gets round outer corners.
- **Selection-required / multi-select semantics on `<x-button-group connected>`**: M3 lists
single-select, multi-select and selection-required as configurations. `<x-group>` covers
single/multi with real inputs; the plain `<x-button-group connected>` leaves selection entirely to
the caller's `aria-pressed`.
- **Snackbar keyboard shortcut** to jump focus to an actioned snackbar (M3 suggests Alt+G on web).
- **Two-line snackbar height** (68 dp in `SnackbarTokens.TwoLinesContainerHeight`, 64 dp in the site's
prose) is not expressed — the container grows organically from `min-h-12`, which lands close but is
not pinned.
- **FAB ↔ extended FAB scroll collapse** ("an extended FAB can collapse to a FAB on scroll and
re-expand at the bottom of the view"). `<x-button fab>` swaps on window width only.
- **Adaptive menu → bottom sheet at compact** (M3: "at compact breakpoints, consider swapping a menu
for a bottom sheet"). `<x-bottom-sheet>` exists, but nothing connects the two.
- Deliberately absent and correctly so: segmented buttons (deprecated in favour of the connected
button group, which `<x-group>` provides), the small FAB ("Not recommended. Use a larger size"), the
baseline extended FAB ("Not recommended. Use small extended FAB"), surface-coloured FABs ("no longer
recommended").
## Breakpoint map
| Component | Library breakpoint used | M3 window size class it stands in for | Gap |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `<x-button fab>` (`button.blade.php:177`) | `max-sm` (< 640 px) → extended FAB pinned bottom-end; ≥ 640 px → filled button | Compact (< 600) gets the FAB; medium+ (≥ 600) gets the inline button | 40 px: windows 600639 px are "medium" in M3 but still get the phone FAB |
| `<x-button responsive>` (`button.blade.php:218`) | `max-lg` (< 1024 px) hides the label | M3 has no label-hiding rule; the nearest is "on large screens, buttons can reposition" at expanded (≥ 840) | 184 px, and the rule itself is an invention — an icon-only button at 8401023 px loses its visible label while keeping its `aria-label` |
| `<x-toast>` (`toast.blade.php:36-51`) | `sm` (≥ 640 px) switches from full-width to `w-auto min-w-86`, and `bottom-start` moves to `start-6` | Compact (< 600) full-width fixed insets; medium+ (≥ 600) scales horizontally for line length | 40 px. Also: M3 allows a full-width snackbar only "when the UI has no persistent nav components", and `<x-app-shell>` shows a bottom navigation bar in exactly that range |
| `<x-fab-menu>` margins (documented, `fab-menu.blade.php:3`, SKILL.md:283) | none — a fixed `end-4 bottom-4` (16 px) in the docs | 16 dp at compact/medium, **24 dp** at large (≥ 1200) / extra-large (≥ 1600) | The 24 dp step is missing; Tailwind's `xl` is 1280 px and `2xl` is 1536 px, so neither lines up with 1200/1600 |
| `<x-fab>` size choice | none — the caller picks `sm`/`md`/`lg` | M3: medium FAB "most recommended" for compact/medium, large FAB for expanded+ | No adaptive guidance in the component or SKILL.md; the default is the 56 px baseline FAB, which M3 calls the *smallest* of the three |
| `<x-menu>` | none | M3: "at compact breakpoints, consider swapping a menu for a bottom sheet" | Not implemented (see Missing) |
| `<x-button-group>`, `<x-group>`, `<x-split-button>`, `<x-badge>`, `<x-progress>`, `<x-loading>`, `<x-tooltip>`, `<x-rich-tooltip>`, `<x-alert>`, `<x-stat>`, `<x-empty-state>` | none | M3 defines no width-dependent behaviour for these (button groups are "fixed or flexible" by author choice; `<x-group>` already fills its row, which is M3's connected-group rule) | none |
