Cross-filtering is the one interaction whose whole point is that acting on ONE
control changes a number somewhere ELSE. Pick "Islam" in the left rail and 2,107
becomes 693 across the KPI strip, the map, the table and the charts. A sighted
user watches that happen. A screen-reader user heard nothing at all: this
element carried exactly one role="status" (the table's selection pill) and zero
aria-live regions. The filter worked; the feedback did not exist.
ONE polite live region in the shell, not one per panel. Six surfaces change on
every brush, and polite announcements QUEUE — six regions would make the user
wait through five repeats before reaching the next control. It is always
rendered and starts empty, because a live region inserted already holding its
text is routinely not announced; it is visually hidden rather than display:none,
which would take it out of the accessibility tree along with the pixels. It is
debounced at 700ms for the same reason the selection camera is debounced: typing
re-derives the row set per keystroke, and an un-debounced region would queue one
announcement per character. It stays silent on arrival and only ever reports a
change. It names the count, the total, the active facets and the search term,
formatted by the shell's own formatter so it can never read as a different
number from the KPI strip beside it.
ONE RESIZE HANDLE ANNOUNCED ITSELF IN ENGLISH in all 11 locales. Four of the five
read their title and aria-label through T(); the map/table one held raw string
literals. It survived review because each half looks correct on its own — the
ternary is right, the strings are right, only the missing T( is wrong. Both now
resolve through the catalogue. (The keys themselves are on
sr/dashboard-a11y-strings: aria.json held eleven keys and not one was a resize
key, so ALL five handles have been falling back to English. The T() call sites
were right the whole time.)
THE CHIP ✕ IS NOW BIG ENOUGH TO HIT. The live strip's remove button was a
~13x16px glyph — the smallest control in the product, and the only way out of a
narrowed board, where a miss costs the reader the whole view. The row height
cannot grow: three comment blocks above it record a measured layout-shift bug and
the Driver's "a lot more subtle" instruction that pinned it to 16px. So the HIT
AREA grows and the BOX does not, via an absolutely-positioned 24x24 ::after that
contributes nothing to the flex row's intrinsic size. Nothing moves by a pixel.
2.5.8 is a TARGET SIZE criterion, not a touch one, so it is unconditional. A
focus-visible ring too, since the chips live in an overflow-x strip where being
scrolled into view is not the same as being visible.
The kit's own DashboardFilterChips were spans with click delegation — not
focusable, no click from Enter or Space. They are buttons now, with an aria-label
naming the ACTION rather than the filter ("Religion: Islam" is a good name and a
useless action), type="button" so a partner's form is not submitted by a chip, a
focus ring and a 24px floor. The reset-all chip deliberately gets NO aria-label:
its visible words already are the action, and overriding them breaks voice
control.
Recording what this does NOT fix, because the measurement that prompted it named
the wrong file. DashboardFilterChips is exported from the kit and mounted by
NOBODY — round 1 of BUG-DUPLICATE-FILTER-BADGES removed it, and the strip on
screen belongs to SearchFilterHeader, whose remove button was already a real
<button type="button"> with a localized aria-label. So the keyboard half was a
latent defect closed before the next dashboard mounts it, not a live one. The
live defect in that same control was its size, above.
check:dashboard-filter-a11y guards all of it, on the kit component AND the strip
that actually ships. It walks the parsed template AST rather than grepping,
because grep cannot tell a bound :aria-label from a literal one, cannot tell a
button from a span named like one, and cannot see a live region hiding inside a
v-show'd cell. It also reads the built bundle, since source-correct plus
bundle-stale is a real repeat failure here. Fourteen mutants were run against it;
every one fails, naming the file and the reason. No browser — that is rega's.
STUDIO: needs a rebuild of research-dashboard and dashboard-plus-grid (the
composite bakes the shell in). Part D of the gate fails until you do, by design.

plugin-designs/ — where YOUR maps live
The shared template lives in ../library/ (aliased @map) — you never edit it per-map.
You build your map by making a folder here, plugin-designs/<your-map>/, and composing the
template's building blocks. Your folder is yours (colors, API, i18n); the template is shared
(Apache-2.0, propagated to every map on the next build).
Shared vs. yours — the balance
library/ (@map) ── SHARED, reusable, parameterized ──► legend · map · map-controls
│ (every map reuses these)
│ imported by
▼
plugin-designs/<your-map>/ ── YOURS ──► the map's "main" class (the .vue profile = the Vue
│ instance for that map)
└── src/ ── YOURS ──► this map's OWN non-reusable components, colors, API, utils
One bundle can hold as many maps as you want — add another .vue profile and rebuild.
- Reusable →
library/. The legend, the map, the map-controls are shared, parameterized components every map reuses. Fix once, every map benefits. Never edit it to customize one map. - This map's own →
plugin-designs/<your-map>/. It holds two things: the map's "main" class (each.vueprofile is the Vue instance for that map) and that map's own non-reusable components (insrc/). Nothing here leaks to another map. - Many maps per bundle. The bundler bundles one map or many — add another flat
.vueand rebuild.
Production or experimental — every profile declares itself
Every app profile is one of two things, and experimental profiles are unlimited and encouraged — create as many as you need:
- Experimental, not built: prefix the folder with
_— the build skips it; it just sits in code. Zero cost, zero risk. - Experimental, built: builds normally, but it belongs in the Experimental section of the power app's layout (nav section) — never embedded on partner surfaces.
- Production: a real product — main sections of the power app + individually embeddable.
(The power app = the SPA layout that composes all profiles into one application.)
The pattern in one picture
plugin-designs/<your-map>/ ← one FOLDER = one BUNDLE, named after the folder
├── index.js ← entry: registers the custom element, finds the profiles
├── overview.vue ← one .vue = one PROFILE (flat in the folder — no profiles/ subfolder)
└── detail.vue ← another profile in the SAME bundle
builds to ─────────────► public/dx-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js (one file)
- Folder name = bundle name. Folders starting with
_or.are skipped (handy for WIP). - Each
.vue= one profile (one map screen). One bundle can hold many. - Pick the profile at embed time with the
profilefield — every profile shares one bundle:
<script src="/dx-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js"></script>
<your-map profile-config='{"profile":"overview","tk":"pk.eyJ..."}'></your-map>
<your-map profile-config='{"profile":"detail","tk":"pk.eyJ..."}'></your-map>
Add a map — three steps
# 1. create the folder + one profile
mkdir -p plugin-designs/<your-map>
# index.js ← copy doxa-simple-map/index.js, rename the tag
# <name>.vue ← your screen, built from @map/* blocks (flat in the folder)
# 2. build
npm run build # → public/dx-maps/<your-map>/<your-map>.js
# (just this one: BUNDLE=<your-map> npm run build:bundle)
# 3. embed the script tag + element (dev staging at `npm run dev` shows a paste-ready snippet)
Your three things (everything else is shared)
- Colors — how pins are colored. Pick one the template ships (
getColorStrategy('language-family')), or drop your own inplugin-designs/<your-map>/src/colors/(start fromtemplate-bundle/src/colors/example-mode.js). Never edit@map/colors/to recolor your map. - API — your map reads its data from the
profile-configon the page, so the same bundle points at different data with no rebuild.DataSourceManageracceptscsv(bundled file),api(one JSON URL), orrest-api(a live REST endpoint, the default). Prefer the real API over inlined JSON. - i18n — the template ships 11 base locales in
@map/i18n/locales/. UseuseI18n()for strings andRTL_LOCALESfor right-to-left; add or override strings from your own profile.
The one hosting variable
The only thing that changes between hosting modes is the <script src>: a relative path when
your own site serves the file, or an absolute CDN URL when a partner site serves it. The bundle
is identical either way. See ../documentation/CONTRIBUTING.md for the two CDN modes and partner-site embedding.
Profile patterns (mix freely)
- Individual — one
.vueper bundle (simplest). - Parameterized — one profile, behavior driven by
profile-configprops (e.g.tabs[]). - Nested — one profile that renders others (workbench-style, like
doxa-research-map).
