Relates to Linear LSA-198 (improve: consultation-thank-you - Redesign consultation confirmation). It does not close the issue: the six thank-you pages on DEV still have to be updated with the pattern, and the manual QA is still open. LSA-115, LSA-199, LSA-200, LSA-201 and LSA-205 reuse this pattern.

Design Overview

The shared thank-you pattern, rebuilt so every thank-you page can reuse it with its own copy. The old thank-you-consultation pattern had a hardcoded "Free consultation" breadcrumb, consultation-only copy and a core/separator that the editor flagged as "Block contains unexpected or invalid content".

  • Section - Thank You Confirmation: a Yoast breadcrumb, a success status badge (check icon and label), an H1, a lead paragraph and a primary home button; a "What happens next" card with a tick list; and a "While you wait" row of three whole-card links to the About pages, below a top border.
  • Layout: the hero, the next-steps card and the cards row sit in one centred 900px column. The breadcrumb stays left-aligned at wide width. The tick list stays left-aligned inside the card.
  • Reusable per page: the copy is neutral placeholder text to overwrite. The card and the cards row can be deleted on pages that do not need them, and page-specific blocks (downloads, MailPoet shortcodes) go between the sections. It is inserted as blocks, not by slug, so each page's copy stays editable.
  • Reuse first: it uses the Card - Plain and Card - Service Tile styles, the Tick Accent list style, the shared ls-icon-well-brand well, the core Button and the lightspeed Icon collection. The success colour reads the status.success token, which already has its own light and dark values. No new tokens, styles or SCSS.

Design Files / References

No Figma frames. The layout follows the existing consultation thank-you pattern and the newer section patterns (link-card-row, checklist-card-pair, the hero breadcrumb wrapper).

Changes

  • Pattern: patterns/thank-you-consultation.php is replaced by patterns/sections/thank-you-confirmation.php (slug ls-theme/thank-you-confirmation), with a header in the same style as the other section patterns.
  • Editor warning: the core/separator is removed and the divider is a top border on the group, as in the other patterns.
  • Breadcrumb: the three hand-built paragraphs are replaced by the Yoast breadcrumb block behind a function_exists( 'yoast_breadcrumb' ) check, as in the hero patterns.
  • Unused classes: the ls-thank-you* classes are removed. Nothing in styles/ or src/ ever targeted them.
  • Tick alignment: styles/blocks/lists/tick-accent.json now uses align-items: first baseline, so the tick stays on the first line of an item that wraps. This also applies to the two other patterns using the style (work-discuss-project-list, section-card-services).
  • Reports: .github/reports/ gains the 2026-10-23 DEV vs LIVE launch-readiness audit and the pre-launch to-do list. They are documents only.

Scope and exclusions

  • The six thank-you pages (and the MailPoet pages) are page content in the DEV database, not in this repo. They were built and checked on the local site only; DEV is not touched. When they are updated on DEV, set their template to page-no-title (they currently use a no-title template that does not exist in ls-theme).
  • The consultation popup buttons and the missing newsletter form on the redesigned pages are not part of this PR. They are tracked as separate work.
  • Review size: 5 files, 318 added and 205 removed lines against develop. 155 of the added lines are the two Markdown reports, so the code change is the pattern (162 lines added, 204 removed) and a one-line JSON change. That is inside the preferred budget.

Screenshots / video

None attached. Checked on the local site at desktop width in dark mode: the six thank-you pages and four MailPoet-style pages render with the pattern, the breadcrumb shows, and the tick stays on the first line of a wrapped item.

Accessibility / performance notes

  • One H1, then H2 sections and H3 card titles, so the outline does not skip a level. Cards are whole-card links with the existing focus styles.
  • The status colour uses a semantic token with light and dark values; contrast against the dark surface was checked by eye only.
  • No scripts, no new CSS and no new requests.
  • Known: the "While you wait" links (team, culture, about) are the same on every page by default. Pages that should show something else need the cards edited.

Testing

  • npm run lint:json passes
  • npm run schema:validate passes
  • npm run security:scan passes
  • npm run patterns:escape reports nothing for thank-you-confirmation.php (the 35 other warnings are in existing files)
  • npm run theme:validate completes with warnings only (existing {{PLACEHOLDER}} text in .github/prompts/cleanup.prompt.md)
  • php -l and vendor/bin/phpcs pass for the new pattern
  • Site Editor checked by the maintainer: no block warnings
  • Local front end, desktop, dark mode: consultation, contact, referrals, content audit, newsletter and subscribed pages, plus the manage and unsubscribe-success pages
  • Light mode, tablet and mobile visual check
  • Screen reader tested
  • CodeRabbit review
  • The six pages on DEV after deploy

Changelog

…eusable confirmation section (LSA-198)

Pattern
- Rename thank-you-consultation to sections/thank-you-confirmation
- Replace the consultation-specific copy with neutral placeholder copy

Layout
- Centre the hero, next-steps card and cards row in one 900px column
- Keep the breadcrumb left-aligned at wide width
- Keep the tick list left-aligned inside the card

Blocks
- Use the Yoast breadcrumb block behind a function_exists check
- Use the core Icon block with lightspeed icons for the badge and cards
- Use a core Button for the homepage link
- Use Card - Plain with the Tick Accent list for the next steps
- Use Card - Service Tile for the three "While you wait" links

Bug fix

- Draw the divider as a top border on the group instead

Cleanup
- Remove the unused ls-thank-you* classes

- Add no new SCSS or JSON

Reports

- Stop the tick floating beside the gap when an item wraps to two lines

Change
- Set align-items to first baseline on the Tick Accent list item grid
- Leave single-line items looking the same as before
- Add no new SCSS

Impact
- Applies to every Tick Accent list: the thank-you confirmation pattern,

Minor · Raise the declared minimum WordPress version to 7.1. · thank-you-confirmation.php:130

patterns/sections/thank-you-confirmation.php:130
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Raise the declared minimum WordPress version to 7.1.

This pattern uses wp:icon blocks with lightspeed/{slug} icons. That markup depends on the core Icon block, which WordPress 7.0 introduced. The public icon registration API that makes custom collections possible shipped in 7.1. The theme header still declares Requires at least: 6.9+. On WordPress 6.9, core/icon is not available, so the icon block cannot render. An unregistered self-closing block has no saved markup, so the three service cards can lose their icons. Their headings, text, and links still render.

Suggested fix
-Requires at least: 6.9+
+Requires at least: 7.1
