/* The application's one global stylesheet, loaded from Pages/_Host.cshtml. 🔴 W13-11 · IT USED TO BE AN OVERRIDE SHEET AND IS NOW THE ONLY ONE. It was layered LAST over a third-party shell's own stylesheet so these rules would win; that shell, its sheet and the packages under it are gone, and nothing is beneath this file any more. Scope discipline is unchanged and still the point: the palette belongs in Theming/, emitted as --biztech-* custom properties by UiThemeTokens, and components belong in Components/Ui/. What is left here is only what CSS has to own - the two pieces of host-page chrome that live outside the Blazor component tree, and the validation styles Blazor's own form components reference by class name. */ /* ── The layer scale · T29 N7 · guidelines §6 ───────────────────────────────────────────────── R6.1: never write a raw z-index, use a layer.

At 3 and 4 the drawer would open underneath the fades it is covering, and the scroll buttons would ride over the scrim.

This used to live down in the board section, which made it look like a board rule; it is an application rule that the board happened to be the first to need. 🔴 THE SELECTOR LIST IS THE AUDIT. Every element in this application that is interactive and NOT a MudBlazor component has to appear here, because MudBlazor rings its own and nothing else will ring these. Today that list is exactly three, and adding a fourth custom interactive element without adding it here is the bug this consolidation exists to make obvious. :focus-visible, not :focus - a mouse click must not leave a ring behind on a board that is on screen in front of an audience. `outline`, not `box-shadow` - the card's hover rule already spends box-shadow, and an outline cannot be clipped by the column's overflow. The colour is safe by construction: Primary is a tested pair against both Background and Surface at 4.5:1, stricter than the 3:1 WCAG 1.4.11 asks of an indicator. 🔴 W0-52 · THE COLOUR MOVED FROM --mud-palette-primary TO --biztech-palette-primary, AND NOTHING ELSE IN THIS RULE CHANGED. It is the same value: both projections read BizTechPaletteDefaults, and BizTechCssVariablesTests asserts every role matches the record. What moves is WHO EMITS IT. --mud-palette-* is written at runtime by MudThemeProvider, which W0-53 unmounts; --biztech-* is written by Components/Ui/UiThemeTokens, mounted first in BOTH layouts, which survives it. Left on the MudBlazor token, this ring would resolve to nothing on the day that provider goes - and an outline with no colour is an outline nobody can see. Safe to move today because the token is emitted on every BizTech page already, and because AssigneeFormKeyboardTests reads this ring back from COMPUTED STYLE in a real browser: a token that failed to resolve fails that test rather than shipping. That test is also the one that proves this rule still beats MudBlazor's `button:focus{outline:none}`, which is (0,1,1) against this rule's (0,2,0) and stays linked on this document until W0-53. 🔴 W0-52 ADDS THE SEAM'S CONTROLS TO THE LIST, AND app.css IS WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO. A ring declared in a component's own scoped sheet would work - and would be the second declaration this rule exists to prevent, invisible to anyone auditing the list. Global rather than scoped is R14.1 layer 4's third case, stated as that rule asks: these classes are named by components, but the RULE is an application-wide one that no single component owns. They must also out-specify MudBlazor's `button:focus{outline:none}`, which is still linked on this document until W0-53. A class plus a pseudo-class is (0,2,0) against that rule's (0,1,1), which is the same margin by which .biztech-skip-link already wins in a real browser - measured under a real Tab keypress on 2026-08-11, and re-measured by UiGalleryKeyboardTests on every seam control. */ .biztech-board-card:focus-visible, /* the card - a real
