Requirements

  • MUST implement PFv6 visual designs
  • MUST provide end-user feature parity with `@patternfly/react-core` Panel
  • MAY adjust element API to leverage web platform strengths
  • SHOULD maintain CSS custom property theming compatibility
  • SHOULD expose useful CSS shadow parts

Element-specific considerations

  • React `variant`: `raised`, `bordered`, `scrollable` - map to `variant` attribute
  • React `isScrollable` - applies overflow scroll to body; also expressible as `variant="scrollable"`
  • React sub-components: `PanelHeader`, `PanelMain`, `PanelMainBody`, `PanelFooter` - use named slots
  • `scrollMaxHeight` on `PanelMain` - CSS custom property preferred
  • Simple structural element; complexity is in slotting composition

Checklist

Rename

  • Delete `elements/pf-v5-panel/`
  • Update `elements/package.json` exports
  • Update `eslint.config.js` ignore globs if applicable
  • Update docs `_snippets/` and `framework-integration/` references

Implementation

  • API per `.claude/ADVICE.md`
  • CSS uses v6 tokens, logical properties, nesting
  • `@summary` and JSDoc on element class

Demos

  • Demos match patternfly.org naming/structure
  • CSS custom properties match computed styles from patternfly.org (Chrome MCP)
  • Visual parity verified via Chrome MCP

Tests

  • Public API covered (attributes, properties, events, slots)
  • `a11ySnapshot` assertions

Reviews

  • `/review-api` passes
  • `/review-demos` passes
  • `/review-a11y` passes
  • `eslint` and `stylelint` pass

Ship

  • Add changeset
  • PR targets `staging/pfv6` (NOT `main`)
