💡 What is the current behavior?

ix-group is not fully usable with keyboard or screen readers:

  • Expand/collapse is not exposed as a proper disclosure control.
  • Space/Enter cannot reliably toggle expand; Escape does not collapse and restore focus.
  • The chevron icon remains in the accessibility tree.
  • Header selection and expand were not separate keyboard tab stops.

Jira: EIX-73
Branch: feature/EIX-73-group-a11y

🆕 What is the new behavior?

  • Follows APG Disclosure for expand/collapse (not Accordion / Menu roles).
  • Dual header controls when selection is enabled: select then expand in Tab order; Space/Enter on each; mouse behavior unchanged (header click selects, chevron expands).
  • Expand button exposes aria-expanded / aria-controls; accessible name is the header text only (no Expand/Collapse in the label — state comes from aria-expanded). Chevron is decorative (aria-hidden).
  • Escape collapses an open group and focuses the expand button; Escape does not also collapse while the group context menu is open.
  • suppressHeaderSelection: no select tab stop; expand remains keyboard-accessible; header click still expands.
  • Expanded items use Tab / Shift+Tab (disclosure), not arrow-key menu navigation.
  • Select :focus-visible outline wraps the full header chrome (excluding context menu); expand keeps its own smaller focus ring.

🏁 Checklist

A pull request can only be merged if all of these conditions are met (where applicable):

  • 🦮 Accessibility (a11y) features were implemented disclosure ARIA, keyboard, Escape, decorative chevron; CT axe + Storybook a11y
  • 🗺️ Internationalization (i18n) - no hard coded strings N/A — accessible names use the header prop; expanded state from aria-expanded
  • 📲 Responsiveness - components handle viewport changes and content overflow gracefully N/A — no layout contract change beyond header control structure
  • 📕 Add or update a Storybook story packages/storybook-docs/.../a11y-group.stories.ts
  • 📄 Documentation was reviewed/updated siemens/ix-docs follow-up: sync group keyboard/disclosure usage after release
  • 🧪 Unit tests were added/updated and pass (pnpm test) group CT + framework smoke snapshots updated
  • 📸 Visual regression tests were added/updated and pass (Guide) group e2e blur after interactions; original PNG baselines retained
  • 🧐 Static code analysis passes (pnpm lint)
  • 🏗️ Successful compilation (pnpm build, changes pushed)

👨‍💻 Help & support

Manual check: http://localhost:5173/preview/group (and related group previews: context menu, header suppressed, custom entry).

  • Focus ring appears on keyboard (:focus-visible), not on ordinary mouse click — expected.
  • VoiceOver’s black cursor follows the focused control’s box (select = title area; expand = chevron). The blue select ring may wrap the whole header via CSS — that mismatch is expected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Accessibility
    • Improved group semantics with clearer labels, disclosure states, and header-to-content relationships.
    • Added separate, keyboard-accessible controls for selecting and expanding groups.
    • Enhanced Enter, Space, and Escape interactions, including focus restoration after collapsing.
    • Improved context-menu accessibility with menu semantics and expanded-state announcements.
  • Styling
    • Updated group theming, focus states, spacing, and expand controls with customizable design tokens.
  • Testing
    • Added accessibility, keyboard interaction, visual, and screen-reader regression coverage across group configurations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ix-group now provides separate accessible header selection and expansion controls. It adds disclosure ARIA attributes, keyboard handling, focus restoration, token-based styling, context-menu state, accessibility stories, regression tests, updated snapshots, and visual-test focus normalization.

Changes

Group accessibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accessible group controls
packages/core/src/components/group/group.tsx, packages/core/src/components/group/group-context-menu.tsx
The component adds separate selection and expansion controls, accessible labels, disclosure attributes, keyboard handling, slot monitoring, focus restoration, and context-menu expansion state.
Group control styling
packages/core/src/components/group/group.vars.scss, packages/core/src/components/group/group.scss
Group styling uses component tokens and defines control layouts, focus states, native expansion-button styling, and configurable separators.
Accessibility validation and examples
packages/core/src/components/group/test/*, packages/storybook-docs/src/stories/group/accessibility/*, testing/framework-tests/*, testing/visual-testing/tests/group/*, .changeset/*
Tests, page-object helpers, stories, snapshots, visual tests, and release notes cover the new control structure and keyboard behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 964b9

This PR adds keyboard and screen-reader behavior to ix-group, but current evidence indicates unresolved cases that can block slotted header interactions, leave the expand control unnamed, bypass configured header-click behavior, or stop tracking after reconnection; the new public behavior is also not fully documented. These issues can cause inaccessible or incorrect group interactions, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

summary and minor bump; if no GitHub issue applies, reference the Jira item as
“IX-<number>” in the PR description or commit message.

In `@packages/core/src/components/group/group.scss`:
- Around line 180-206: Remove order: -1 from .btn-expand-header, then update the
group.tsx header markup to render the expand button before the select area so
DOM, visual, and keyboard order match. In
packages/core/src/components/group/test/group.ct.ts lines 320-332, update the
tab-order assertion to expect the expand button first and the header select
button second.
- Around line 187-188: Add an empty line immediately before the double-slash
comment preceding align-self in the group styling block, preserving the existing
comment and declaration unchanged so Stylelint passes.

In `@packages/core/src/components/group/group.tsx`:
- Around line 266-273: Move the hostElement keydown listener registration from
componentDidLoad to connectedCallback, pairing it with the existing
disconnectedCallback cleanup. Keep the capture-phase options and
onKeyDownCapture handler unchanged, and leave the observer initialization in
componentDidLoad.
- Around line 355-368: The suppressHeaderSelection branch in renderHeaderSelect
creates a clickable static area without keyboard accessibility. Add an
equivalent keyboard interaction and appropriate focus/role semantics to the
group-header-select-area--static element, or remove its pointer-cursor
affordance if the mouse-only behavior is intentionally retained; ensure users
still have a keyboard path when the expand button is unavailable.
- Around line 155-183: Refactor collapseAndFocusExpand to reuse toggleExpanded
instead of duplicating the expandedChanged emit-and-rollback logic. Preserve its
early return when already collapsed and only focus expandButtonEl after a
successful collapse when showExpandCollapsedIcon is enabled.
- Around line 306-328: Update the onKeyDown handler to clear skipEscapeCollapse
immediately for every Escape keydown, before checks for expanded state or
event.defaultPrevented. Preserve the existing collapse and dropdown-handling
behavior after the reset, and leave onKeyDownCapture unchanged.
- Around line 380-383: Update the group header rendering around
renderHeaderContent so ariaHidden is applied only to generated header and
subHeader text, not the container that renders the named header slot. Keep
slotted header content outside any aria-hidden wrapper, including interactive
elements.

In `@packages/core/src/components/group/test/group.page.ts`:
- Around line 43-46: Update selectButton, expectNoSelectButton, and focusSelect
to remove their unused name parameters, or use those parameters to filter the
button locator by accessible name. Ensure callers cannot provide a mismatched
name while still resolving the generic button.group-header-select locator.

In `@testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-aria-snapshot.yaml`:
- Around line 2-3: Update the ix-group source so its selection and disclosure
controls receive distinct action-specific accessible names instead of both using
the group header text; preserve those names when context-menu and custom-entry
variants are present. Regenerate
testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-aria-snapshot.yaml lines 2-3,
testing/framework-tests/__snapshots__/group-context-menu-aria-snapshot.yaml

Provide an accessible name when header is absent.

Line 148 returns undefined when consumers use only the named header slot. Line 402 then renders an icon-only disclosure button with no accessible name because the icon is hidden from assistive technology.

Use a localized fallback label, or reference the header-content ID with aria-labelledby when slot content supplies the label. Add coverage for a header-slot-only group.

Keep interactive header-slot content outside the selection-button hit area.

Line 375 renders a button that covers the full selection area. group.scss gives this button position: absolute, inset: 0, and z-index: 1. The button therefore intercepts pointer input for interactive elements supplied through <slot name="header"> at Line 353.

Restrict the selection button hit area, or render interactive slotted content outside that overlay.

Provide an accessible name for slot-only headers.

renderExpandButton() sets only aria-label={this.getExpandButtonLabel()}, and that method returns this.header. When the header is supplied only through slot="header", the chevron is decorative and the expansion button has neither an accessible label nor aria-labelledby.

Reuse the generated header-content ID for the expansion button. Also assign that ID in the suppressed-selection branch.

Suggested fix
+  private get headerContentId() {
+    return `${this.getHostElementId()}-header-content`;
+  }
+
   private renderExpandButton() {
+    const label = this.getExpandButtonLabel();
+
     return (
       <button
         ...
-        aria-label={this.getExpandButtonLabel()}
+        aria-label={label}
+        aria-labelledby={label ? undefined : this.headerContentId}

Do not bubble slotted control clicks into group expansion.

The named header slot is inside the wrapper with onClick. If a consumer places a link, button, or other interactive custom element in that slot, its click bubbles to onHeaderClick() and toggles the group as a second action.

Handle only clicks on the static header area, or exclude interactive descendants from the expansion handler. Add a regression test for an interactive header slot.

As per path instructions, accessibility behavior must remain consistent for component consumers.

Preserve expandOnHeaderClick semantics.

The new header click paths do not read expandOnHeaderClick. The suppressed-selection path always toggles expansion, while the selectable path only changes selection. Therefore the documented public prop is ignored or bypassed depending on suppressHeaderSelection.

Preserve the prop contract, or explicitly deprecate the prop and provide migration guidance. Add tests for both values in both selection modes.

Reattach the mutation observer after reconnect.

componentDidLoad() runs once, but connectedCallback() runs each time the element is connected. After disconnectedCallback() disconnects the observer, reinserting the group prevents slotSize from updating when group items change.

Move observer setup into a reconnect-safe helper. Call it from componentDidLoad() and from connectedCallback() when groupContent is available.

Scope itemButton to the group items.

this.host.getByRole can still match the group header buttons because they are inside ix-group and use the header text as their accessible name. Use this.host.locator('ix-group-item').getByRole('button', { name }).

In @.changeset/eix-73-group-a11y.md:
- Line 5: Update the ix-group component documentation and examples to describe
its public keyboard, focus-restoration, and ARIA behavior, including separate
header select/expand controls, disclosure state, Space/Enter activation, Escape
collapse, accessible names, and screen-reader-compatible context-menu
navigation. Ensure examples demonstrate the supported interactions and clarify
that expanded state is determined by aria-expanded.

In `@packages/core/src/components/group/group-context-menu.tsx`:
- Around line 64-80: Update the group context-menu tests to mount the context
menu, assert the trigger exposes aria-haspopup="menu", and verify the native
button’s aria-expanded changes from false to true and back to false as the menu
opens and closes. Extend the existing axe accessibility test coverage to include
this context-menu case while preserving the current visibility assertions.
