Summary

The gap between the header and the breadcrumb is too large on the hero patterns. The breadcrumb is the first element in each hero, so the gap is exactly the hero's top padding. #167 trialled spacing|40 (26px) on the blog hero and #168 applied it to the heroes that used spacing|80. This PR applies the same value to the remaining heroes, so every hero with a breadcrumb now matches.

Hero patterns

The outer section's top padding goes to spacing|40, in both the block comment and the inline style:

  • From spacing|100 (64px): hero-centered-gradient-title, page-hero, and the thank-you-confirmation section.
  • From spacing|90 (56px): search-hero, services-hero, solutions-hero.
  • From spacing|60 (37px): phase-hero, service-hero.

The whole hero moves up by the same amount, because nothing sits above the breadcrumb.

Not changed

  • The shared breadcrumbs pattern (used by the page, archive and taxonomy templates) is already 20px and is untouched.
  • Pages built from these patterns hold their own copy of the hero in the database, so they only change once their saved markup is updated. This PR changes pattern files only; the page copies are updated per environment separately.

Investigated, not changed

  • On local, /services/ failed the responsive-overflow check at 320px ("Request a systems review" 290px in a 280px row). The pattern already carries the fix: its button row has the ls-buttons-wrap class (added in design: free-consultation - Add the Free Consultation page patterns (LSA-123) #109) and the rule for it loads on the page. The page's saved copy of the hero predates that class, so it is a stale copy and not a pattern defect. DEV's Services page fails the same check for the same reason. No code change is needed; the saved copy needs the class added.

Scope and exclusions

  • Eight pattern files, two lines each, plus CHANGELOG.md and .github/tasks/task-list.md: 10 files, 26 added and 17 removed lines. No generated files are involved.

Screenshots/video

None attached. The change is a spacing value, and the measurements are in the test plan.

Test plan

  • php -l passes on all eight patterns and npm run schema:validate passes
  • npm run build:css exits 0 and leaves no diff
  • Local: 22 pages built from these patterns were re-attached to the new padding (writing straight to the database to keep their pattern names), and the header-to-breadcrumb gap measures 26px at 1440px on all 25 pages and templates checked: /about/process/, /services/ and its nine service pages, /solutions/, /privacy-policy/, search results, the ten thank-you and subscription pages, and /general-pattern-testing/
  • An audit of every pattern file with a breadcrumb shows each hero at 26px, apart from the shared breadcrumbs pattern at 20px
  • Playwright standing specs (accessibility, runtime-errors, responsive-overflow) pass in chromium and Mobile Chrome on /services/, /services/discovery/, /about/process/, /solutions/, /privacy-policy/ and search
  • Visual review of the pages above in light and dark mode and at phone width
  • After deploy to DEV: update the saved copies of the hero on DEV's pages (48 pages hold a breadcrumb), including adding ls-buttons-wrap to the Services page's button row, then re-check them
  • Block editor: the eight patterns look right when inserted
  • CodeRabbit review

Changelog

meta:needs-changelog: user-facing spacing change. The entry is in CHANGELOG.md under [Unreleased].

Relates to the breadcrumb spacing work in #167 and #168. This is the last layer of the stack.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Style
    • Reduced top padding across the centered-gradient, page, phase, search, service, services, and solutions hero layouts, as well as the thank-you confirmation section. These patterns now use the 40 spacing preset (26px), replacing larger top-padding values.
    • Other padding and styling remain unchanged. Saved pages are updated separately and change only when updated.

…n the spacing 90, 100 and 60 heroes (batch 2 of 2)

Hero patterns
- Lower the outer section's top padding to spacing 40, so the breadcrumb sits 26px below the header
- Spacing 100 (64px): hero-centered-gradient-title, page-hero and the thank-you-confirmation section
- Spacing 90 (56px): search-hero, services-hero and solutions-hero
- Spacing 60 (37px): phase-hero and service-hero
- The breadcrumb is the first element in each, so the whole hero moves up by the same amount
- Every hero with a breadcrumb now uses the same value as the blog hero and batch 1

Docs
- Add the CHANGELOG.md entry under Unreleased
- Mark the batch 2 line done in task-list.md

Scope
- The shared breadcrumbs pattern stays at 20px
- Pages built from these patterns keep their own copy of the hero in the database, so they change only when their saved markup is updated

Testing
- Local: 22 pages re-attached to the new padding, and all 25 pages and templates measured, including search, solutions and the legal page, show a 26px gap at 1440px
- An audit of the patterns shows every hero at 26px
- Accessibility, runtime errors and horizontal overflow pass on /services/discovery/, /about/process/, /solutions/, /privacy-policy/ and search, in chromium and Mobile Chrome
- /services/ also passes all four standing specs after its saved button row was brought up to date locally with the ls-buttons-wrap class the pattern already has (a database change, not part of this commit)
- php -l passes on all 8 patterns
- Not yet verified on DEV, whose pages still hold the old copies
Changelog
- Add the PR #170 link to the batch 2 entry

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Context
- CodeRabbit noted batch 2 lacked the scope note batch 1 has

Docs fix
- Note the task covers pattern sources only
- Saved pages update separately from their own markup
