Roadmap

Interactive Surface CSS 1.4.0 is a release candidate. The work in this branch focuses the package on a durable interaction-state contract without expanding into layout or theme ownership.

1.4.0 release candidate

• Preserve every existing 1.x import, selector, hook, and token fallback.
• Add state-core.css for design-system integrations.
• Add standalone-preset.css for complete standalone use.
• Generate the compatibility bundle from the same authored modules.
• Cover pressed mixed, non-false current, selected, busy, loading, and disabled precedence.
• Preserve state meaning under reduced motion, higher contrast, and forced colors.
• Compose interaction translate with consumer transform, scale, and rotate.
• Turn the demo into a state-first interaction lab.
• Publish an npm-first README and aligned wiki.
• Lock the package, audit, Chromium, and full-browser release gates.

Publication, tagging, and a GitHub Release remain separate approval-gated steps.

After 1.4.0

Potential follow-up work must be driven by demonstrated consumer need:

• add targeted visual-regression baselines if state combinations become difficult to review
• expand framework examples without shipping framework wrappers
• add migration notes only when token evolution requires them
• add state recipes for new semantic platform behavior when browsers expose stable primitives

Permanent guardrails

The package should remain:

• small and framework-agnostic
• compatible with plain HTML and existing design systems
• accessibility-forward
• token-driven
• independently useful
• complementary to ui-style-kit-css and layout-style-css
• focused on interaction states rather than page layout or application theming

The Interface Systems Lab remains the canonical proof of the three-library composition.
