Buyer-visible outcome

The AppGuardrail console now gives sighted and assistive-technology users consistent feedback while detail requests are in flight, without conflating “busy” with “disabled.” The selected scan row is temporarily unavailable through an explicit ARIA-disabled contract, and both pointer and keyboard repeat activation are suppressed until its request finishes.

Exact scope

Base: develop@a68b57d4ccad4f895d7a3d9f909fffbc4653b17e.

Exact head: 57a281ab349d65d46f5cca6172f10367e9559538.

The branch changes only:

  • scanner/dashboard/console.html;
  • tests/test_console_detail_loading_contract.py; and
  • .jules/palette.md.

No scanner rule, detector, API, database, dependency, credential, model, workflow, or merge-policy authority changes.

Interaction and accessibility contract

  • native disabled buttons and explicitly tr.scan[aria-disabled="true"] share unavailable styling and pointer suppression;
  • #connect[aria-busy="true"] and tr.scan[aria-busy="true"] share a scoped progress visual without turning arbitrary future busy containers into pointer-dead regions;
  • the shared --busy-opacity design token controls busy/unavailable opacity rather than embedding a one-off value in each selector;
  • a scan row beginning an async detail request sets both aria-busy="true" and aria-disabled="true";
  • the detail() boundary refuses repeat activation while the row is unavailable, so Enter/Space and pointer behavior remain consistent;
  • success, failure, close, and finally paths clear the applicable state without weakening the existing request-generation stale-response guard;
  • loading remains a polite live update, errors remain alerts, and focus/reduced-motion behavior is preserved.

TDD and review repair lineage

The original Palette change styled :disabled and [aria-busy="true"] identically with pointer-events:none. Review of the actual console interaction showed that this suppressed pointer activation while the row’s keyboard handler remained active, and aria-busy itself does not mean unavailable.

  • RED 4ebc1fc61fa2d3bfe64f3199235f0541ab2d943e required distinct busy/unavailable semantics, explicit aria-disabled, and a keyboard-consistent activation guard.
  • GREEN 348b17a2e206cad3cde3f25cf3ec908cb48108cc implemented that interaction contract.
  • 0bf5099460139b72efd09ab0cef28f1097020b17 corrected the durable design guidance so future work does not reintroduce the semantic conflation.
  • Cursor review then correctly identified that the selector was still broader than the actual live controls and that the regression pinned the old literal CSS string. RED dd2c431536dc00931c02a4cbf5e4d033a13c4dbb required scoped selectors plus a shared busy-state token.
  • GREEN 57a281ab349d65d46f5cca6172f10367e9559538 scopes the rules to native disabled buttons, #connect, and interactive scan rows, adds --busy-opacity, and leaves future parent/detail busy regions unaffected. Both addressed Cursor threads were resolved only after the current source matched the requested contract.

Merge boundary

Do not integrate until the unchanged exact head has terminal required CI/security/coverage/review evidence, all valid findings and conversations are resolved, and any qualifying independent non-author approval required by the live protected rules is present. Queued, skipped-required, stale, predecessor-head, author-only, model-only, or synthetic evidence is non-passing.

- `console.html`에 `:disabled` 및 `[aria-busy="true"]` 상태에 대한 CSS 추가 (투명도 감소, 커서 변경, 포인터 이벤트 차단)
- `test_console_detail_loading_contract.py`에 새 CSS 규칙 검증 로직 추가
- `.jules/palette.md`에 ARIA 상태와 시각적 UI 간의 일치성에 대한 학습 기록 추가

The update improves visual feedback for disabled and loading elements, but keyboard users may still activate a busy scan row and trigger a duplicate request. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to guard keyboard activation while loading.

Stale comment

Review (head f701843f)

The busy/disabled visual mapping is the right buyer-facing fix: Connect already sets both disabled and aria-busy, and scan rows set aria-busy while details load. Sighted users can now see that state.

Do this next

  1. Keep the rule scoped to the controls that actually set these states (button:disabled, #connect[aria-busy], tr.scan[aria-busy]). A global [aria-busy="true"] { pointer-events: none } will also disable a future busy detail panel, including its close button.
  2. Move opacity: .6 and the busy cursor onto the existing console tokens (--muted, --radius, --primary) so this state can be reused by dashboard and Storybook without a second magic number.
  3. Re-run required checks on this head. Do not merge while CodeRabbit is only a rate-limit SUCCESS.

Not a merge blocker: the contract test that pins the exact CSS string matches this repo's console-contract style.

Review (head 57a281ab)

Busy and unavailable are now split the way a buyer can perceive them: aria-busy is progress-only, aria-disabled / native disabled is the unavailable contract, and detail() is the shared pointer/keyboard gate. The previous scoped-selector and --busy-opacity threads are fully addressed on this exact head.

Do this next

  1. Keep this head unchanged while required CI, security, coverage, and current-head robot-review evidence go terminal-success. Do not treat the stale f701843f CodeRabbit walkthrough or a rate-limit SUCCESS as that evidence.
  2. After those checks pass, merge #974. A follow-up will pin lastDetailFocus.removeAttribute("aria-disabled") and that the busy rule must not carry pointer-events:none, so a later busy detail panel cannot inherit an unavailable hit-test.
  3. Do not add a global [aria-busy="true"] rule or restyle busy as disabled.

Not a merge blocker: cursor: progress on a row that is also aria-disabled is hidden by pointer-events: none. Opacity still communicates the in-flight state.

Prefer successor #977 over merging this head (57a281ab). #977 keeps the approved busy/unavailable split and adds the close-path aria-disabled pin, the busy-rule pointer-events exclusion, ADR-0007, and the Storybook inventory. Do not treat CodeRabbit rate-limit SUCCESS as current-head robot evidence.

Superseded by #977. Exact ancestry proves #977 starts from this exact head (57a281ab349d65d46f5cca6172f10367e9559538) and adds the remaining close-path/busy-rule regressions, shared-token ADR/traceability, and Storybook inventory without dropping this interaction contract. No predecessor checks or reviews transfer.
