Linked issues

Relates to Linear LSA-107 (design: history-page - Build History page). It does not close the issue: the History page content on DEV, SEO metadata and the manual QA are still open.

Design Overview

The "Year by year" section pattern for the About "History" page (/about/history/): "Milestones beyond the headlines" as thirteen expandable year cards with an "Expand all" button. Built from the standalone prototype About History.html and the content doc 02-about-history.md. This is the second layer of the stack that starts with #132.

• Section - Details Card Grid: a left-aligned eyebrow and H2 with an "Expand all" button on the right, above a two-column grid of core Details blocks. Each card is a mono brand-coloured year, a title and a bulleted list.
• Expand all: opens every card and swaps its label to "Collapse all"; the label also follows cards opened or closed one by one. It is a real button element (the core Button block with tagName: button), and the labels are passed in from PHP so they stay translatable.
• Alignment: cards sit at their own height, so a closed card never grows when its neighbour opens. An open card stretches to its row, so two open cards side by side match each other.
• Reuse first: the card shell, size and bullet list come from the core Details block and core-details.json; hover, open and focus states come from the existing _details-motion.scss. The section uses the shared Content Band style. No new tokens.

Standalone HTML prototype About History.html and content doc 02-about-history.md. No Figma frames.

Changes

• Details Card Grid: patterns/sections/details-card-grid.php, src/scss/structural/details-card-grid.scss (compiled to assets/css/details-card-grid.css) and assets/js/details-expand-all.js. The SCSS owns only what JSON cannot reach: the summary weight (the shared details motion resets it), the monospace year (an inline <strong> in the summary), the open-state border and divider colours, the summary padding, and the grid's align-items.
• Open-state borders: the shared details motion paints every open card's border and divider in the link accent, which read as a wall of cyan with all thirteen open. Open cards now use border.card-strong and the divider uses border.card; both are existing tokens with light and dark values. A hovered, closed card still takes the accent.
• Spacing and background: the section uses is-style-content-band (48px top and 56px bottom at 1440px, the same as the Timeline and the Work page) on the page canvas, with the cards on the default card surface. Together with the FAQ section on a card band in the page content, the History page now alternates canvas and card from the hero to the CTA.
• Loading: inc/animations.php registers the details-card-grid bundle (loads on /about/history/ and wherever the pattern renders) and enqueues the script through render_block, with the translated labels added as an inline script. functions.php adds the editor stylesheet and package.json adds the build entries.
• Accessibility scan helper: tests/helpers/accessibility.ts waits for in-flight transitions and finite animations (capped at 3 seconds) before the axe scan. Axe read the half-transparent text of the scroll-reveal timeline from design: history-page - Add the scroll timeline and stat card grid patterns (LSA-107) #132 mid-fade and reported contrast failures the settled page does not have, which made the standing scan fail intermittently.

Scope and exclusions

• The Scroll Timeline, Stat Card Grid and the homepage CTA button fix are in design: history-page - Add the scroll timeline and stat card grid patterns (LSA-107) #132.
• The Hero, Our History, FAQ and CTA reuse existing patterns with page-content edits only (including the History page spacing); their pattern files are unchanged because other pages use them.
• Review size: 9 files (including CHANGELOG.md), 397 added and 3 removed lines against its base (design: history-page - Add the scroll timeline and stat card grid patterns (LSA-107) #132's branch). assets/css/details-card-grid.css is compiled output (1 added line).

Screenshots / video

None attached. On the local site at 1440px the card heights were measured with one card open (a closed neighbour kept its 66px height), with a row of two open cards (265px each) and with all thirteen open (seven rows, none uneven).

Accessibility / performance notes

• The cards are core Details blocks, so they are keyboard-operable and announce their open state natively. The "Expand all" control is a real button. Its label names the next action ("Expand all" or "Collapse all"), so it carries the state and the button has no aria-pressed.
• Hover, open and focus states come from the shared details motion, including the focus ring on :focus-within.
• Known: the History page content from this stack puts the FAQ on a card band; that is a page-content edit, not a repo change.

Testing

• npm run schema:validate and npm run lint:json pass
• npm run security:scan passes
• npm run patterns:escape reports nothing for the new pattern
• npm run build:css leaves no diff
• npm run theme:validate completes with warnings only
• php -l and phpcs pass for the pattern, inc/animations.php and functions.php
• Local, 1440px: "Expand all" opens all thirteen cards and swaps the label; a closed card keeps its height when its neighbour opens; two open cards in a row match; all-open has no uneven rows
• Local, 1440px: spacing is 48px top and 56px bottom, matching the Timeline, and the page alternates canvas and card
• Playwright standing suite plus the mobile-menu spec, run on the stacked design: history-page - Add the scroll timeline and stat card grid patterns (LSA-107) #132 + design: history-page - Add the Details Card Grid pattern for Year by year (LSA-107) #133 branch (the combined History page) with SINGLE_PAGE_URL on /about/history/, once in dark mode and once in light mode (page background confirmed each time) across Chromium, WebKit, Mobile Chrome, Mobile Safari and Tablet: 128 passed, 26 skipped, none failed in each mode (Firefox is not installed locally)
• CodeRabbit CLI review (not run on this branch)
• Dark and light mode visual checks on desktop, tablet and mobile, done by the maintainer
• Screen reader tested
• History page on DEV after deploy

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds a year-by-year Details card grid pattern for the History page. It adds card styling, conditional asset loading, and an expand-all control. Accessibility tests now wait for finite animations and transitions before running axe.

Changes: History Details Card Grid

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pattern and card presentation patterns/sections/details-card-grid.php, src/scss/structural/details-card-grid.scss, assets/css/details-card-grid.css, package.json, functions.php, inc/animations.php	Adds localized 2011–2025 History data with a two-column Details card grid. Adds card styling, CSS build targets, editor registration, and conditional stylesheet loading.
Expand-all behavior and accessibility inc/animations.php, assets/js/details-expand-all.js, tests/helpers/accessibility.ts, CHANGELOG.md	Adds deferred script setup and translated labels. The script opens or closes all cards and synchronizes the button label when cards change. Accessibility tests wait for finite animations and transitions before running axe. The changelog records the update.
