A7's "do not" is louder than its "do", so that first: admin.js:484-517 handles
language and time, it is a shipped feature, the review specifically endorsed
keeping it, and if the proposal reads as removing it that reading is wrong. It
is UNTOUCHED. The probe checks that by diffing the file against HEAD as well as
by driving the feature — switching locale, saving, reloading, and confirming the
saved value came back from the server.
Card status lines
Two things were doing one job badly. The SOP card said "SOP complete" when it
was and NOTHING when it was not — so the commonest state on a live project was
the one with no status line at all. And the Work Package card carried its state
in its BUTTON ("Complete SOP first", "Checking..."), which is a button
describing a situation instead of naming what pressing it does.
Now every card says its state in its own line, in all three states, and no
button changes text to report one:
complete green, the canonical success token
not yet secondary text - a real answer, and neither green nor a warning
unknown the suite's amber, and it names the failure
Each carries a glyph and a word as well as a colour. The line is replaced in
place rather than removed and re-added, because a card that briefly has no
status line reads as "no status" and that is one of the three real answers.
role="status" on it: the text is written by a fetch that lands after the page
has settled, which is what aria-live is for (S10).
Footer
Was "Work Package Suite v1.0 | Prime Controls - Business Technology Group |
Pilot Use Only", which leaves three questions open: v1.0 of what, who Business
Technology Group is to this page, and what Pilot Use Only actually restricts.
Now two sentences. The first names the product and who maintains it. The
second says what "pilot" means in the only terms that matter to somebody about
to type a real work package into it: the work is real and is kept, the tools
around it are still changing. The bare version string is gone rather than left
claiming to be a version of something unspecified.
html/index.html three-state card status, the footer
tests/cards_check.py new - 44 checks
tests/aggregates_check.py two assertions re-pointed (see below)
Done when
[x] card status lines read clearly and use the canonical status colours
[x] the footer is unambiguous about what it is showing
[x] localization still functions - verified by switching language, saving,
reloading and reading the value back off the server
[x] admin.js:484-517 behaviour is unchanged - and the file is byte-identical
Two probes needed re-pointing, and both were asserting wording rather than
behaviour
aggregates_check waited for the card's status line to be non-empty and then
matched the phrase "SOP complete". The wait is now wrong for a second reason:
the line is non-empty from the moment the page loads, because it says
"Checking the SOP...". It waits for the answer instead, and matches the
ANSWER rather than the sentence - which is what that check was ever about,
since it exists to prove the answer came from the server and not the cache.
A probe that breaks when wording changes is a probe that will be edited
carelessly the next time wording changes. Both are now written so that only a
behaviour change can fail them.
Verified one at a time
cards_check 44/44 new
aggregates 16/16 (two assertions re-pointed)
browser_check 71/71
a11y 22/22
launcher 58/58
f_items F1-F5 FIXED, F6 REPRODUCES (T7.2)
No colour literal added: the three status colours are --cds-support-success,
--cds-text-secondary and --wp-status-warning-text, all already in
theme-light.css.
Question for the PR, per CLAUDE.md: the footer now says work packages created in
the pilot are kept. That is true of the database and it is the thing people
actually want to know, but it is a promise, and whoever owns the pilot should
confirm it is one we are making.
