-

-
-- **One callout per section.** Three stacked callouts are a wall, and readers
- skip walls.

- still know what happened.
-- **Critical is for things that failed**, not for things that are merely
- important. Importance is what the surrounding prose is for.

title: Field

---
-## Anatomy
+## Basic
-Every field is a `<label>` (or a `<fieldset>` with a `<legend>`), a control, and

-still produce an even form.

-## Validation
-
-Invalid state lives on the control via `aria-invalid`, not on the wrapper. That
-way it works with native constraint validation and it is announced, not merely
-coloured. The error message is wired up with `aria-describedby`.

-## Rows

-- **Every control has a real `<label>`.** A placeholder is not a label; it

-- **Hints go in `aria-describedby`.** Otherwise a screen reader announces the
- label and nothing else.
-- **Never mark a field invalid before the reader has finished with it.** Validate
- on blur or on submit.
-- **The required marker is decorative.** `aria-hidden` on the asterisk, `required`
- on the input.

+
+`ghost` is the default and transparent. `outline` is a bordered surface, for
+an icon button sitting alone rather than in a toolbar. `accent` is a soft
+accent tint, for a toggled or active state — the segmented-tabs pattern this
+system does not otherwise reach for.

-## Rules
-
-- **`role="progressbar"` on the track**, with `aria-labelledby` pointing at a
- visible label.
-- **Omit `aria-valuenow` when you do not know it.** Do not pass `0`.
-- **Show the number in text as well as in the bar.** A bar alone is unreadable
- at a glance and unusable in greyscale.
-- **Under about two seconds, show nothing.** A progress bar that flashes is worse
- than no feedback at all.

-## Overflow
-
-`.ad-table-wrap` owns `overflow-x: auto`, so a wide table scrolls inside its own
-box and the page body never scrolls horizontally. This is the single most
-common way a documentation site breaks on a phone.
-
-## Rules
-
-- **Every header cell gets `scope`.** `scope="col"` on column headers,
- `scope="row"` on the first cell of a row when it identifies the row.
-- **Numbers right, text left, and `tabular-nums` on the numbers** so digits
- stack into columns.

- The WAI-ARIA tabs pattern, wired up in about forty lines of vanilla JavaScript.
- Arrows move between tabs, Home and End jump to the ends.
+ Two real variants: underline for primary section navigation, segmented for

-## The contract
+## Rules
+
+- **Never both variants in one view.** Underline is for the page's own
+ sections; segmented is for filtering what is already on screen.
+- **Segmented is not primary navigation.** If it decides which screen the
+ reader is on, it should be underline.
-The JavaScript looks for `[data-tabs]` and takes over from there, but it will
-only do the right thing if the markup is right:
+## API

-Only the selected tab stays in the tab order; the rest get `tabindex="-1"` and
-are reached with the arrow keys. That is one Tab stop for the whole tablist,
-which is the point of the pattern.

-## Rules
-
-- **The selected panel is the only one not `hidden`.** Do not hide panels with
- CSS alone; `hidden` keeps them out of the accessibility tree.

-- **Keep panel heights close.** A tablist that resizes the page on every switch
- makes the reader lose their place.

+# Colour is the one part of a design system that is not arbitrary: a ratio is
+# a fact about two colours and a pair of eyes. So these pairings are asserted
+# by test/test_token_set.rb in both themes, and the same list renders the
+# contract table on the Colour page. Adding a pair here adds it to the deploy
+# gate.
+#
+# Two things this system deliberately does NOT assert, both explained on the
+# Colour page rather than forced to pass:
+# - `color-text-tertiary` (neutral.500) is 3.46:1 on the page in light mode —
+# under the 4.5:1 floor. The source documents that step as "muted-faint
+# text", reserved for placeholders and metadata, never body copy. That is
+# a real, intentional property of the source palette, not a bug to fix by
+# darkening the step.
+# - Border contrast. `color-border-hairline` / `color-border-default` sit
+# well under the 3:1 WCAG 1.4.11 asks of a meaningful boundary — the
+# source's own words are "hairline (1px) borders and dividers do most of
+# the elevation work", i.e. borders are deliberately decorative here. The
+# source never claims a 3:1 bar for them, so this contract does not
+# invent one.
+#
+# `color-accent-ink`, `color-accent-soft`, `color-success-bg`, and
+# `color-danger-bg` are `color-mix()` expressions, not flat hex, so
+# `lib/arbitrary_definitions/color_math.rb` cannot measure them — none of the
+# four appears on either side of a pair below.

## The two layers
The system separates *what a colour is* from *what a colour is for*.
-The **ramps** below are raw material: twelve steps of ink, eleven of persimmon,
-and four supporting hues. They exist so that the next decision has something to
-choose from. No component references them.
-
-The **aliases** underneath are the working vocabulary — `--ad-color-text`,
-`--ad-color-critical-subtle`, `--ad-color-focus`. Every rule in every component
-stylesheet reads from these. Swapping a theme means repointing aliases at
-different ramp steps, which is exactly what the dark theme does.

## Rules
-- **Never write a hex outside `_data/tokens/color.yml`.** If a component needs a
- colour that does not exist yet, the colour does not exist yet. Add the alias.
-- **Status colour is never the only signal.** Every status component carries an
- icon, a label, or a dot alongside the hue.
-- **One focus colour.** `--ad-color-focus` is azure everywhere, including on
- persimmon surfaces, because a focus ring that changes per component is a focus
- ring nobody learns.
+- **Never write a hex outside `_data/tokens/color.yml`.** If a component
+ needs a colour that does not exist yet, add the alias.
+- **One accent per project, never two in a view.** Swapping `--ad-color-accent`
+ re-derives `-ink` and `-soft` automatically via `color-mix()`.
+- **`--ad-color-success` and `--ad-color-danger` are fixed.** They read the
+ same in every project and are never swapped the way the accent is.

- do not animate it at all.

+ be the topmost layer, neither is.
+- **Border or shadow, not both, for a given surface's edge.** A card that
+ both borders and floats looks like a sticker.
+- **Never animate a shadow's blur.** If a floated element needs to arrive,
+ animate its `opacity`, or do not animate it at all.

- a size cannot supply.
-- **Uppercase only at `--ad-text-2xs` with `--ad-tracking-wide`.** Uppercase at
- body size is shouting and it is also slower to read.
-- **Never set a size in `px`.** The ramp is in `rem` on purpose.
-- **`text-wrap: balance` on headings, `pretty` on lead paragraphs.** Both are in
- the base stylesheet; components do not need to repeat them.
+- **Three families, and no fourth.** A new typeface needs a reason a weight
+ or a size cannot supply.
+- **Mono is not decoration.** Every label, meta value, ID, date, and code
+ sample is mono — it is the one thread present in all three source projects.
+- **`type-label` is always uppercase, mono, and tracked.** It is the one
+ place uppercase belongs in this system.
+- **Never set a size in `px`.** The eight steps are fluid on purpose.

+## What this screen is testing
+
+- **The diagonal-grain empty state.** The only patterned background this
+ system permits, used only inside an empty photo slot.
+- **CardRow as a file row, twice.** The same component holds a scannable
+ list on Home and a single, focused row on Detail — no special "detail row"
+ variant needed.
+- **Tag alongside its own dashed "add" affordance.** The two live in one row,
+ reading as one continuous, extendable list.
+- **`type-label` as the workhorse.** File size, tag count, and the back-button
+ screen name all reach for the same mono catalog-label convention as Badge.

+## What this screen is testing
+
+- **Dense rows next to a mono meta column.** A recurring-task list is
+ fundamentally tabular even though it never touches an actual `<table>`.
+- **Overdue in `--ad-color-danger`, everywhere at once.** Row text, the
+ complete-button border, and the trailing meta all pick it up from the same
+ `overdue` state — colour never drifts row to row.
+- **One primary action.** `New` is the only accent-filled control on screen;
+ everything else is neutral or bordered.
+- **Accent used exactly once, decoratively.** The "km" avatar and the
+ highlighted day both use `--ad-color-accent-soft` / `-ink` — never the raw
+ accent fill outside of `New`.

-## What this screen is testing
-
-- **Vertical rhythm across mixed control heights.** An input, a select, a
- fieldset of checkboxes, a switch, and a progress bar in one column, all spaced
- by `--ad-space-5` from the form and never by margins of their own.
-- **The error state in a real form.** The invalid field sits between two valid
- ones. It has to be findable without being the loudest thing on screen.
-- **A footer that carries both status and actions.** Status left, actions right,
- and the destructive-ish action (`Discard`) as a ghost so it does not compete.
-- **Two tones at once.** A caution badge and an info callout coexist without the
- page turning into a traffic light, because both draw from the same restrained
- status tints.
-- **The dark theme.** Nothing in this pattern has a colour of its own — every
- value is an alias, and the dark block repoints all of them at once.

- Somebody decided that the gap is 16px, that the accent is this orange and not that one,
- and that a warning is amber. None of it was inevitable. What makes it a system is that
- the decisions got written down in one place, given names, and then actually used.
+ Arbitrary Definitions is not a company's design system — it is one person's,

+## Where it came from
+
+Synthesized by reading three real projects, not copied from any one of them:
+[domus](https://github.com/kejadlen/domus) (a household inventory and
+document archive — warm paper surfaces, a swappable "Clay" accent, a
+capture dock), [ketchup](https://github.com/kejadlen/ketchup) (a
+recurring-task tracker — all-mono, plain grays, a flash-bar toast), and
+[quire](https://github.com/kejadlen/quire) (a personal git forge — humanist
+sans and mono, a full dark palette, underline tabs). The one literal constant
+across all three is an identical Utopia fluid type/space scale — adopted
+verbatim as this system's spine. Everything else is a synthesized middle
+ground. See [Why arbitrary]({{ '/rationale/' | relative_url }}) for the full
+story, including where this system knowingly guesses.
+
## How it is put together
-Three YAML files under `_data/tokens/` hold every value in the system. A Jekyll
-generator written in Ruby reads them at build time and emits
+Three YAML files under `_data/tokens/` hold every value in the system. A
+Jekyll generator written in Ruby reads them at build time and emits
`assets/css/tokens.css` — one flat block of custom properties, plus the dark
theme and a `prefers-reduced-motion` override. The component stylesheets read
`var(--ad-*)` and nothing else.
-The same YAML feeds the tables and swatches on these pages, so the documentation
-cannot drift from the stylesheet. If a hex changes in the YAML, the swatch, the

+repository's own mechanism — a `data-theme="dark"` attribute plus
+`prefers-color-scheme` — because the toggle UI on every page already depends
+on it and the two are functionally equivalent: both repoint the same
+semantic aliases at the inverted neutral ramp.
```css
-:root { --ad-color-canvas: #faf9f7; }
+:root { --ad-color-surface-page: #faf9f7; }
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
- :root:not([data-theme="light"]) { --ad-color-canvas: #171512; }

-## The uncomfortable part
+## Where the name comes from
-Almost nothing in a design system is derived. The spacing base is 4px because
-4 divides nicely and screens used to be 1x, not because 4 is correct. The accent
-is persimmon because somebody liked it. The type ramp is a minor third until it
-isn't, at the small end, where a strict ratio produces 13.3px and 11.1px and
-nobody can tell those apart anyway.
+Arbitrary Definitions is a personal umbrella for side projects — self-hosted,
+single-user tools built for one household or one person, never a SaaS
+product. Almost nothing in a design system is derived: the accent is teal
+because someone liked it, the type scale ratio is 1.20 at the small end and
+1.25 at the large end because that is what looked right, not because either
+number is correct. What makes it a *system* is not that the choices are
+correct but that they were written down once, given names, actually used, and
+are therefore changeable.
-Design systems that pretend otherwise end up in an unwinnable argument. Somebody
-asks *why* the gap is 16px and not 14px, and the honest answer — "it isn't
-16 because it's right, it's right because it's 16" — sounds like a dodge. So the
-team invents a justification, and then defends the justification instead of the
-decision, and a year later nobody can change the number because the reasoning
-has calcified around it.

+Contrast. A ratio is a physical fact about two colours and a pair of eyes,
+and it does not care what the brand guidelines say.
So it is the one thing the build refuses to take on trust.
`_data/tokens/contrast.yml` names
-{{ site.data.tokens.contrast.text.pairs | size }} text pairings and
-{{ site.data.tokens.contrast.non_text.pairs | size }} non-text pairings that
-have to hold; `lib/arbitrary_definitions/color_math.rb` computes WCAG relative
-luminance from the token values, and `test/test_token_set.rb` asserts every one
-of them in both themes. The [contract table]({{ '/foundations/color/' | relative_url }}#contrast-that-has-to-hold)
-is rendered from that same file. If a token change drops any pairing below its
-floor, `rake test` fails and the site does not deploy.
-
-That is not a formality. The accent in this system started at persimmon 600 —
-a nicer orange — and the test caught it at 4.17:1, under the 4.5:1 floor for
-normal text. It moved to 700. The ink ramp got darker at steps 500 through 800
-for the same reason.
-
-The dark theme caught a second class of mistake that no single ratio would have
-found: the destructive button was filled with `--ad-color-critical`, which is a
-*text* colour and therefore goes pale in dark mode. White label, pink button.
-The fix was a separate `--ad-color-critical-solid` token — and, more usefully,
-a rule in the suite that no `color-text-*` or `color-on-*` token may sit outside
-the contract at all, so the next filled surface cannot be forgotten.
+{{ site.data.tokens.contrast.text.pairs | size }} pairings that have to hold;
+`lib/arbitrary_definitions/color_math.rb` computes WCAG relative luminance
+from the token values, and `test/test_token_set.rb` asserts every one of them
+in both themes. The [contract table]({{ '/foundations/color/' | relative_url }}#contrast-that-has-to-hold)
+is rendered from that same file. If a token change drops any pairing below
+its floor, `rake test` fails and the site does not deploy.
```console
$ bundle exec rake test
0 failures, 0 errors, 0 skips
```
+That contract is deliberately narrower than "every colour in the system".
+`--ad-color-text-tertiary` — the source's own "muted-faint text" step — is
+about 3.46:1 against the page in light mode, under the 4.5:1 floor for normal
+text. That is not a bug the build should paper over by darkening a real brand
+value; it is a documented, intentional property of the palette (see the
+[Colour page]({{ '/foundations/color/' | relative_url }})), so the contract
+excludes it rather than silently forcing it to pass. Borders get the same
+treatment for the same reason: the source's own rule is that hairline borders

## What this system does not have
-Being honest about the arbitrary parts means being honest about the gaps, too.
-This is a small system built to be read, not a product design system. It has no
-modal, no menu, no toast, no date picker, no icon set, no RTL audit beyond using
-logical properties, and no component tests. The border colour knowingly sits
-under the 3:1 that WCAG asks of a meaningful boundary — see the note on

+- **No shared component library or Figma exists across the three source
+ projects** — they are hand-rolled app CSS, not a design system. The
+ sixteen components documented here are a from-scratch, best-guess
+ personal-tool kit, grounded in real patterns found in the three apps
+ (ketchup's flash-bar → Toast; domus's drop-up menu → Dialog's flat
+ treatment; domus's segmented control and quire's underline tabs → Tabs'
+ two variants) — not a literal recreation of any one app's screens.
+- **No logo or brand mark.** The source is explicit: render "Arbitrary
+ Definitions" or the project's own name in type wherever a mark would go,
+ and do not invent one.
+- **The icon set (Lucide) is a flagged substitution.** No source project
+ ships a shared icon library; domus hand-draws its own line icons, and
+ ketchup/quire mostly avoid icons.
+- **Signal Teal, the default accent, is a synthesized pick**, not lifted from
+ any one project.
+- **No Table, Callout, or Progress component.** An earlier pass at this site
+ invented all three; none exists in the source system, so they were removed
+ rather than re-skinned. (This documentation site still uses a plain
+ `<table>` and an aside box for its own reference material — those are site
+ chrome, not system components, and are not documented as one.)
+- **Loop and Archive are generic demonstrations**, not recreations of
+ ketchup or domus specifically.
+
+Naming these is cheaper than being caught by them.
