MI10 - Theme/Contrast Guidance (Light/Dark/HC Tokens)

Module

Web

Status

PARTIALLY_IMPLEMENTED

Description

Color tokens and focus ring styles exist. Theme transition utilities are implemented. However, the specific theming doc docs/modules/ui/micro-theme.md and explicit HC (high-contrast) mode tokens with 4.5:1/3:1 contrast validation were not found as standalone artifacts.

What's Implemented

  • Color tokens and focus ring styles exist in the Angular codebase
  • Theme transition utilities are implemented
  • Dark mode support exists

What's Missing

  • High-contrast (HC) mode tokens: No dedicated HC theme with WCAG 4.5:1 (normal text) and 3:1 (large text/icons) validated contrast ratios
  • Theme specification document: No docs/modules/ui/micro-theme.md formalizing the light/dark/HC token sets
  • Contrast validation tooling: No automated CI check validating contrast ratios across all color tokens
  • HC mode toggle: No user-facing toggle for high-contrast mode in settings

Implementation Plan

  • Create HC theme token set with WCAG-validated contrast ratios
  • Add contrast ratio validation CI check using color-contrast tooling
  • Add HC mode toggle to user settings
  • Document theme tokens in docs/modules/ui/micro-theme.md

E2E Test Plan

  • Setup:
    • Log in with a user that has appropriate permissions
    • Navigate to the relevant page/section where this feature appears
    • Ensure test data exists (scanned artifacts, SBOM data, or seed data as needed)
  • Core verification:
    • Verify the component renders correctly with sample data
    • Verify interactive elements respond to user input
    • Verify data is fetched and displayed from the correct API endpoints
  • Edge cases:
    • Verify graceful handling when backend API is unavailable (error state)
    • Verify responsive layout at different viewport sizes
    • Verify accessibility (keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, ARIA attributes)
