Beat Phase A spot-check: raised defaults (3.22.0 candidate)

Date: 2026-09-13
Tip: feat/beat-phase-a (A.2 marketing + A.3/A.4 app/overlay craft)
Against: visual-compete PASS tip e79f828 / Phase 5 sign-off 2026-09-12-visual-bar-signoff-pass.md
Programme: umbrella docs/plans/brickwork-beat-tailwind-plus.md Phase A.5
Issue: icvoss/django-brickwork#541

Scope

Spot-check only: confirm zero-kwargs craft raises on white canvas do not regress the meet-bar axes that already PASS. This is not the Phase F win scorecard and does not authorise beat/prefer claim language.

Method

  1. Read source CSS for touched selectors against the card 3.21.0 ambient + fg-mix edge recipe.
  2. Confirm dark theme strips ambient back to plain elevation.
  3. Run focused pytest ambient assertions for marketing and app/overlays.
  4. Note residual tracker items that remain out of this spot-check.

Surfaces checked

Surface family Selectors Spot finding
Marketing cards/bands feature-grid cards, testimonial, pricing tier, stat-band, CTA tint Edge + ambient present on light; dark resets present
Marketing type hero heading/lede, pricing table heading, CTA heading Wrap/family craft only; no layout fork
App chrome filter bar, data-table wrap, empty-state (md), stats Edge + ambient; sm empty-state stays unframed
Overlays modal panel, slide-over, dropdown panel, toast Edge + ambient under existing elevation ladder
Shells topbar, marketing header, auth/centred panels, sidebar edge Light lift / stronger edge; nav active tokens left alone

Regression vs visual-compete PASS

Axis (VISUAL-BAR) Spot finding
Navigation No substrate-owned regression noted; header elev additive
Typography Additive wrap/family only
Forms Untouched in this pass
Density Existing density tokens retained
Spacing rhythm Marketing section gaps unchanged
Elevation / edge Strengthened deliberately (CHANGELOG consumer terms)
Colour / contrast Token-only mixes; inverse/ghost AA from 3.21.0 retained
Overlay / focus Elevation floors kept; axe fixtures not regenerated in this note

Verdict: no meet-bar regression observed in this spot-check. Craft changes are intentional default raises for beat Phase A, not meet-bar repairs.

Residuals (not blockers for A.5)

  • Named marketing_footer_groups component remains Phase B (#542); #500 example/shell honesty already closed.
  • Full still regeneration and independent win scorecard wait for Phase F (#545) after B/C/D.
  • Homepage proof (A.6) follows package release pin on brickworkui.com.

Honesty

Do not cite this note as a win against Tailwind Plus. Cite it only as Phase A defaults spot-check clearance before release and homepage redo.
