docs: Foundation Freeze v1.0 + directory reorganization
- FOUNDATIONS-v1.0.md: - Freeze contract for Landvex Design System - Scope: Motion, AI Principles, Semantic Colors, Grid, Elevation, Typography, RFC Template, Definition of Done - Reference components: Button, Input, Select, Card (all ~83%) - Invariants: token rules, component rules, accessibility rules, AI rules - Change policy: no new foundation concepts without v2.0 RFC - Versioning: 1.0.x patches, 1.x.0 new components, 2.0.0 new foundations - Compatibility matrix for all foundations and components - Directory reorganization: - docs/design/foundations/ → frozen foundation documents - docs/design/components/ → component RFCs - docs/design/README.md → navigation and structure - Foundation documents moved: - TOKEN_PHILOSOPHY, SEMANTIC_COLOR_SYSTEM, GRID_ELEVATION - AI_DESIGN_PRINCIPLES, COMPONENT_TEMPLATE, RFC_DEFINITION_OF_DONE - DESIGN_ANTI_PATTERNS, COMPONENT_DECISION_TREE, GLOSSARY - BRAND_PALETTE, RELEASE_DEFINITION, SEMANTIC_COLOR_SYSTEM_REVIEW - Component RFCs moved: - RFC-002-Input, RFC-003-Select, RFC-004-Card Rationale: Clear separation between foundations (stable platform) and components (built on top). Foundations v1.0 frozen — components can be added freely within v1.x, but foundations require v2.0 RFC to change. This prevents gradual erosion of the design system architecture.

# RFC-004: Canonical Card Component
|
||||
|
||||
**Status:** 🟡 Draft — Under review
|
||||
**Tier:** 1 (Canonical)
|
||||
**Inherits From:** — (root component)
|
||||
**Author:** AI Agent
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-07-02
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. COGNITIVE PURPOSE
|
||||
|
||||
Card exists to group related information into a bounded, scannable unit. It creates visual hierarchy by separating content from its surroundings without requiring explicit borders or dividers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Design Goal:** The user can scan, compare, and act on grouped information as a single unit.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. WHEN TO USE
|
||||
|
||||
- Grouping related data (KPI, dataset, asset summary)
|
||||
- Presenting actionable items that need context
|
||||
- Creating scannable lists of heterogeneous content
|
||||
- Elevating content above the page background
|
||||
- Containing forms or workflows in a bounded area
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. WHEN NOT TO USE
|
||||
|
||||
- Single line of text (use plain text or List Item)
|
||||
- Simple navigation (use Link or Navigation)
|
||||
- Modal content (use Modal)
|
||||
- Full-page content (use Page layout)
|
||||
- When elevation is unnecessary (use flat surface)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. USER EXPECTATION
|
||||
|
||||
- Card is visually distinct from background
|
||||
- Card content is related and scannable
|
||||
- Card may be clickable (if actionable)
|
||||
- Card maintains consistent internal spacing
|
||||
- Card adapts to container width
|
||||
- Multiple cards align in grids or lists
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. INTERACTION CONTRACT
|
||||
|
||||
| Event | Response |
|
||||
|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Click (actionable) | Navigate or trigger primary action |
|
||||
| Hover (actionable) | Elevation increases, cursor changes |
|
||||
| Focus (actionable) | Focus ring appears |
|
||||
| None (static) | No interaction, purely presentational |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. FAILURE BEHAVIOUR
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Response |
|
||||
|----------|----------|
|
||||
| Content overflows | Scroll internally or truncate with ellipsis |
|
||||
| Image fails to load | Show placeholder or fallback icon |
|
||||
| Action fails | Show error state on card or in adjacent area |
|
||||
| Card is loading | Show skeleton state |
|
||||
| Card is empty | Show empty state with guidance |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. ACCESSIBILITY CONTRACT
|
||||
|
||||
- **Role:** Static cards use no ARIA role. Actionable cards use `role="button"` or `role="link"`.
|
||||
- **Focus:** Actionable cards MUST have visible focus ring
|
||||
- **Label:** Actionable cards MUST have accessible name (aria-label or visible text)
|
||||
- **Screen reader:** MUST announce card as group or link/button
|
||||
- **Keyboard:** Actionable cards MUST be activatable with Enter or Space
|
||||
- **Color:** MUST NOT rely on color alone to indicate actionability
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
| Scenario | AI Choice |

||||
| Navigation to another page | Link |
|
||||
| Modal content | Modal |
|
||||
| Full-page layout | Page |
|
||||
| Simple text without grouping | Plain text |
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 13. STATES
|
||||
|
||||
| State | Visual | Motion |
|
||||
|-------|--------|--------|
|
||||
| Default | `card-bg`, `card-shadow` | — |
|
||||
| Hover (interactive) | `card-shadow-hover`, cursor pointer | `duration-interaction` |
|
||||
| Active (interactive) | `card-shadow-active` | `duration-instant` |
|
||||
| Focus (interactive) | Focus ring | `duration-instant` |
|
||||
| Loading | Skeleton state | `duration-background` |

|
||||
|
||||
## 14. KEYBOARD
|
||||
|
||||
| Key | Action |
|
||||
|-----|--------|

||||
| `Tab` | Move focus to next focusable element |
|
||||
| `Enter` / `Space` | Activate actionable card |

|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 15. TOUCH
|
||||
|
||||
- Touch target: Entire card if actionable
|
||||
- Active state: Brief elevation reduction
|
||||
- No gesture support (no swipe, pinch)
|
||||
- Scroll: Card content scrolls internally if overflow
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 16. MOTION
|
||||
|
||||
| Transition | Animation | Duration | Easing |

| Hover (interactive) | Elevation increase | `duration-interaction` | `ease-out` |
|
||||
| Active (interactive) | Elevation decrease | `duration-instant` | `ease-in` |
|
||||
| Focus | Focus ring appear | `duration-instant` | `ease-out` |
|
||||
| Loading skeleton | Shimmer animation | `duration-background` | `linear` |
|
||||
| Error appear | Border color change | `duration-interaction` | `ease-out` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Reduced Motion:** No elevation animation. Focus ring appears instantly.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 17. ANTI-PATTERNS
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ **Nested cards:** Cards inside cards create visual confusion
|
||||
- ❌ **Too much padding:** Wastes space, reduces information density
|
||||
- ❌ **No visual distinction from background:** Defeats purpose of card
|
||||
- ❌ **Inconsistent internal spacing:** Breaks scannability
|
||||
- ❌ **Actionable without focus ring:** Accessibility failure
|
||||
- ❌ **Clickable entire card with internal buttons:** Event collision
|
||||
- ❌ **Card as only layout tool:** Use grid or flexbox for layout, card for grouping
|
||||
- ❌ **Excessive elevation:** Competes with modals and overlays
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 18. RELATED COMPONENTS
|
||||
|
||||
- **Modal** — Overlay content, not inline
|
||||
- **Panel** — Larger container, often full-height
|
||||
- **List Item** — Single row, no grouping
|
||||
- **Tile** — Image-first card variant
|
||||
- **KPI Card** — Domain-specific card (Tier 3)
|
||||
- **Dataset Card** — Domain-specific card (Tier 3)
|

|
||||
- **DDR-003:** Semantic color system (affects states)
|
||||
