Accessibility

...

  • Provide meaningful, concise title text so assistive tech conveys purpose even when the card is collapsed.
  • Keep subtitle brief to avoid verbose announcements; place only supportive context there.
  • Avoid relying on color or decoration alone; communicate status via explicit title/subtitle text and supported states (active, disabled, expanded).
  • Use state: disabled to clearly communicate non-interactivity.
  • Use state: expanded to control when additional content is exposed, reducing cognitive load in the collapsed view.
