* BDS component polish: link visibility, static cards, uniform CTAs
Component-level fixes and refinements across the 2026 brand components.
Accessibility / contrast
- StandardCard: pin description link colors. Every card variant has a light
background in both themes, so theme-level link colors were wrong inside it —
dark mode painted plain anchors white and BdsLink lilac-300, both of which
wash out on a pale card. Links (including :visited) now use the card's own
text color with an underline carrying the affordance; hover uses lilac-500,
which clears 4.5:1 on all four card backgrounds.
- Breadcrumbs: point the open dropdown menu at the breadcrumb color tokens so
the trail, trigger, and menu read as one color in both themes, and give dark
mode gray-6 (7.41:1, matching light mode's 7.23:1).
Interaction
- CardOffgrid: drop every hover affordance when a card has neither href nor
onClick. Static cards no longer get a pointer cursor, the color-wipe overlay,
or a pressed state — the tokenization and trading carousels pass link-less
cards and were advertising a click target that did not exist.
- CarouselFeatured: add a 'fade' transition alongside the default 'slide', for
decks whose slides share a heading. Inactive slides are now inert, keeping
focus and pointer events out of them in both styles.
- Add a bds-reduced-motion mixin so components can collapse motion to an
instant state change.
Design consistency
- ButtonGroup: add forceVariant and forceNoPadding overrides, letting a section
opt out of the count-based variant defaults and render one uniform treatment.
Existing consumers are unaffected.
- FeatureTwoColumn: render every link as a tertiary button regardless of count,
flush with the title and description.
- CardImage: render an all-bullet subtitle as a real <ul> so wrapped text hangs
under the first character and screen readers announce it as a list.
- docs: give the node-installation card descriptions a paragraph break before
their "Learn More" link.
Dependencies
- Bump @codemirror/state and view, add lang-javascript, lang-json, and lint,
with overrides pinning state/view to one copy.
Docs updated alongside each component. Built CSS regenerated with the
production script to match the committed artifact's minified format.

* ButtonGroup: don't strip padding from forced filled variants
`noPadding` was derived as `forceNoPadding || isMultiButton`, which was safe
while the 3+ block layout was always tertiary. `forceVariant` also accepts
`primary` and `secondary`, so a 3-button group forcing a filled variant had
`padding: 0 !important` (Button.scss) applied with no way to opt out.
Tie the implied no-padding to the resolved variant being tertiary. Behavior is
unchanged for every caller that doesn't pass `forceVariant`.

* Stacked hero variant, fade-by-default carousel, component docs
Layout
- HeaderHeroPrimaryMedia: add a `stacked` prop that puts the headline, subtitle,
and buttons in one column (full width at base, 7/8 at md, 9/12 at lg) instead
of the default headline-left / CTA-right split. The headline and CTA block
bottom-align against each other in the two-column layout, so the stacked
variant undoes that. Both arrangements now share the same headline and CTA
elements, so they can't drift apart. Used on the docs landing hero.
Motion
- CarouselFeatured: make `fade` the default transition. Slides that share a
heading are the common case, and a horizontal wipe drags the identical heading
across the screen only to set it back down. `slide` is now opt-in for decks
whose panels are genuinely distinct. Nudge the crossfade to 260ms in / 200ms
out. The home page carousel opts into fade explicitly; developer-funding now
inherits it.
Fixes
- CardTextIconCard: pass `headingAs` through to `cardContent`, which was
accepting the prop but never receiving it.
Docs
- Expand the Button, CardImage, CardTextIcon, PageGrid, CalloutMediaBanner,
LogoSquareGrid, and HeaderHeroPrimaryMedia references.
