- controls-selection: forbid hyperlinks for opening modals/elements unless explicitly requested; buttons required instead. - AGENT-BOOTSTRAP: add router entries for hardware-ingest-json and submodule-integration contracts (lint was failing without them).

Contract: Controls + Selection
Version: 1.2
Shared Base
- This pattern inherits the shared
table-managementcontract. - Visual styling comes from
web-visual-baseline. - Reuse shared toolbar/table/icon geometry from the base contract first, then define only controls-specific additions below.
Buttons
- Use a small stable button taxonomy:
primary,secondary,ghost,danger,disabled. - Destructive actions (
archive,delete,remove) must use danger styling and explicit labels. - Button text should describe the action outcome, not implementation detail.
- Buttons are text-first; icons are optional and must not replace labels on primary/danger actions.
- Base examples must show both
disabledandloadingstates. - Do not use a hyperlink (
<a>/link-styled text) to open a modal, drawer, detail view, or any other in-page element. Use abutton(or button-styled control) instead, unless the user explicitly asks for a hyperlink. Hyperlinks are reserved for navigation to another URL/page.
Checkbox Selection
- Row checkboxes support bulk actions from a shared action bar.
- Header checkbox semantics must be explicit:
- select visible rows only, or
- select all rows in query scope (must be clearly labeled)
- In paginated views, the UI should distinguish selection on the current page from selection across the filtered/query scope.
- Selection state should survive pagination/filter navigation via explicit state (query params, server session, or another deterministic mechanism).
- Same-page interactions should preserve reading position (module anchor pattern is preferred in canonical server-rendered flows).
Segmented Filters
- Segment/toggle filters are allowed for small enumerations (status, active/archived).
- Segmented controls are grouped joined-buttons:
- one shared outer shell,
- rounded corners only on the first/last segment,
- straight internal separators between middle segments.
- Active segment color may vary by context (for example blue preset selector vs dark status scope tabs), but geometry must remain consistent.
- Segment changes should preserve other active filters where possible.
Bulk Action Safety
- Bulk action click should preview count and target scope before execution.
- Destructive bulk actions require confirmation.
- Dense bulk action bars may move rare actions into an explicit overflow menu (
More actions) while keeping primary actions visible.
