Error States Added

Every view now shows a helpful error message with a recovery action when API queries fail.

Before: Silent failures or blank screens when Apollo queries error.

After: Friendly error panels with retry buttons.

+------------------------------------------+
|                                          |
|        (!) Could not load goals          |
|                                          |
|    Something went wrong. Please check    |
|    your connection and try again.        |
|                                          |
|           [ Retry ]                      |
|                                          |
+------------------------------------------+

Views with new error states:

Dashboard.vue — Combined error from USER_QUERY and GOALS_QUERY
Goals.vue — Error from goals query with retry
Goal.vue — Error when goal can't be loaded (replaces silent redirect)
Communities.vue — Error from communities query
Community.vue — Error from community detail query + join failure toasts
Achievements.vue — Error from user/badges query

Loading States Improved

Before (Goals.vue): Full-viewport spinner causing large layout shift when content arrived.

After (Goals.vue): Dimension-matched skeleton layout: header skeleton + 4 stat cards + 6 LoadingSkeletonCard instances in the same grid layout as real content.

+--[Skeleton Header]-------------------------+
|  [====]  [===========]                     |
+--------------------------------------------+
| +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+|
| |  ====  | |  ====  | |  ====  | |  ====  ||
| | ====== | | ====== | | ====== | | ====== ||
| +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+|
+--------------------------------------------+
| +------------------+ +------------------+  |
| | [LoadingSkeleton] | | [LoadingSkeleton]|  |
| |   Card matches   | |   Card matches   |  |
| |   real layout    | |   real layout    |  |
| +------------------+ +------------------+  |
+--------------------------------------------+

Dashboard.vue: Replaced single-row skeleton with 4-column momentum bar + goal card grid matching real content dimensions.

Empty States with Actionable Guidance

Achievements.vue (new): When filters produce zero results, shows contextual empty state:

+------------------------------------------+
|                                          |
|    No badges match your filters          |
|                                          |
|    Try adjusting your category or        |
|    status filters to see more badges.    |
|                                          |
|        [ Clear Filters ]                 |
|                                          |
+------------------------------------------+

Dark Mode Fixes

Replaced hardcoded colors with design tokens across multiple components:

Component	Before	After
Goals stat cards	`bg-white/80`	`bg-card/80`
Goals stat icons	`text-blue-500`	`text-primary`
Communities search	`bg-white dark:bg-slate-800`	`bg-background`
Communities sort	`bg-white dark:bg-slate-800`	`bg-background`
Communities filters	`bg-white dark:bg-slate-800`	`bg-background`
UserFeedList	`bg-white`	`bg-white dark:bg-slate-900`
Achievements badge count	`text-slate-500`	`text-muted-foreground`
Goal.vue enhancement banner	Hardcoded `#fffbeb`	`color-mix()` adaptive
Goal.vue timeline empty state	`rgba(255,255,255,0.5)`	`var(--ion-card-background)`

Tap Feedback

Added active:scale-95 or active:opacity-70 to all interactive elements across all views. Every button, card, and clickable element now provides immediate visual feedback on press.

Duplicate-Tap Guards

Added loading guards to prevent double-submission on mutation buttons:

View	Mutation	Guard
Dashboard	`UPDATE_GOAL_MUTATION`	`updatingGoal.value` early return
Goal Detail	Habit check-in	`habitCheckInLoading` + disabled button
Goal Detail	Complete goal	`isCompletingGoal` ref + finally block
Goal Detail	Toggle privacy	`isTogglingPrivacy` ref + disabled buttons
Communities	Join/leave	`isJoining` ref keyed by community ID
Communities	Create community	`isCreatingCommunity` ref

Bug Fix

Dashboard.vue: Target icon from lucide-vue-next was used in template but never imported — a pre-existing runtime bug producing a Vue component resolution warning. Fixed by adding the import.

Accessibility

`useAccessibility.ts` Composable

Four reusable utilities:

typescript

// Focus trap for modals/dialogs
const { activate, deactivate } = useFocusTrap(containerRef)

// Screen reader announcements
const { announce } = useAnnounce()
announce('Badge unlocked: First Steps')

// Reactive reduced-motion preference
const { reducedMotion } = useReducedMotion()

// Programmatic skip to main content
const { skipToMain } = useSkipLink()

+--[Visible only on Tab focus]--------+
| Skip to main content                |
+-------------------------------------+

Added to App.vue. Visually hidden by default, becomes visible when focused via keyboard Tab. Links to #main-content (the ion-router-outlet).

Global `prefers-reduced-motion`

css

@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
  *, *::before, *::after {
    animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
    transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
    scroll-behavior: auto !important;
  }
}

Plus PageTransition.vue skips enter/leave animations when reduced motion is preferred.

Minimum Tap Targets (44px)

WCAG 2.1 AA requires 44x44px minimum touch targets.

Component	Before	After
`UiButton` default	`h-10` (40px)	`h-11` (44px)
`UiButton` sm	`h-9` (36px)	`h-10` (40px)
`UiButton` lg	`h-11` (44px)	`h-12` (48px)
`UiButton` icon	`h-10 w-10` (40px)	`h-11 w-11` (44px)
`UiInput`	`h-10` (40px)	`h-11` (44px)
ActivityFeed refresh	No min size	`min-w-[44px] min-h-[44px]`
ActivityFeed tabs	Default	`min-h-[44px]`

ARIA Tab Patterns

Added full tab widget semantics to 4 views:

html

<!-- Before -->
<div class="tabs">
  <button @click="activeTab = 'profile'">Profile</button>
  <button @click="activeTab = 'security'">Security</button>
</div>
<div v-show="activeTab === 'profile'">...</div>

<!-- After -->
<div role="tablist" aria-label="Settings sections">
  <button role="tab" :aria-selected="activeTab === 'profile'"
          :aria-controls="'panel-profile'">Profile</button>
  <button role="tab" :aria-selected="activeTab === 'security'"
          :aria-controls="'panel-security'">Security</button>
</div>
<div id="panel-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="tab-profile"
     v-show="activeTab === 'profile'">...</div>

Applied to: Settings, ActivityFeed, Goals, Community Detail

+--[role="banner"]--[AppHeader]--------+
|  [menu-button]  [logo]              |
+--------------------------------------+
|                                      |
| [role="navigation" aria-label=      |
|  "Main menu"] -- SideMenu            |
|                                      |
| [#main-content]                      |
| [aria-live="polite"]                 |
|   ... page content ...               |
|                                      |
+--------------------------------------+
| [role="navigation" aria-label=      |
|  "Main navigation"] -- BottomTabBar  |
| [aria-current="page" on active tab] |
+--------------------------------------+

All 12 modals received:

aria-labelledby pointing to modal title
aria-label on close/dismiss buttons
aria-hidden="true" on decorative icons
Focus traps on 5 custom div-based modals (via useFocusTrap)

Modal	Type	Focus Trap
AiCoachModal	IonModal	Native
AgreeToTermsModal	IonModal	Native
BadgeModal	Custom div	`useFocusTrap`
ChangelogModal	IonModal	Native
CommunitySuggestionModal	IonModal	Native
CommunityComparisonModal	Custom div	`useFocusTrap`
CommunityPreviewModal	Custom div	`useFocusTrap`
CreateCommunityModal	Custom div	`useFocusTrap`
MemberProfileModal	Custom div	`useFocusTrap`
ProfileCompletionModal	IonModal	Native
ReportContentModal	IonModal	Native
StreakDetailsModal	IonModal	Native

Form Accessibility

All form fields now have properly associated labels:

html

<!-- Before -->
<label>First Name</label>
<UiInput v-model="form.firstName" />

<!-- After -->
<label for="settings-firstName">First Name</label>
<UiInput id="settings-firstName" v-model="form.firstName" />

Files with form label fixes: Settings.vue (8 fields), GoalForm.vue (6 fields), GoalCreate.vue (6 fields), GoalEventForm.vue (3 fields), CreateCommunityModal.vue (6 fields), ProfileCompletionModal.vue (3 fields), MoodCheckIn.vue (2 fields), CommunityComparisonModal.vue (1 field), AiCoachModal.vue (1 field), SignIn.vue (2 fields), OnboardingWizard.vue (1 field), AchievementFilters.vue (1 field), CommunityFeed.vue (2 fields), CommunityGoals.vue (1 field), CommunityFeedCard.vue (1 field)

Radiogroup Patterns

MoodSelector: Full ARIA radiogroup with roving tabindex and keyboard navigation (arrow keys).

+--[role="radiogroup" aria-labelledby="mood-group-label"]--+
|                                                           |
|  [role="radio" aria-checked="false" tabindex="-1"]       |
|  Terrible                                                 |
|                                                           |
|  [role="radio" aria-checked="true" tabindex="0"]         |
|  Amazing  <-- focused, selected                          |
|                                                           |
|  [role="radio" aria-checked="false" tabindex="-1"]       |
|  Great                                                    |
|                                                           |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
  Arrow keys move selection, Tab moves out of group

GoalForm type picker: role="radiogroup" with aria-checked on each goal type option.

Keyboard Support

Converted all clickable <div> elements to either:

Semantic <button> elements (preferred), or
role="button" + tabindex="0" + @keyup.enter handler

Components converted to <button>:

GoalCard image container
GoalEventCard content + action areas
GoalListItem card
AchievementCard
ShowcaseSelector badge options
AllyActivityFeed rows
MilestoneManager toggle + name display

Components with role="button" added:

SideMenu: logo, profile, nav items, CTA, version info
AppHeader logo
CommunityCard, GoalCard (ui/), NotificationsPanel items
Dashboard encouraged-goal rows (converted to <button>)
GettingStartedCard collapsed state
CommunityMembers grid + leaderboard rows
CommunityGoals cards
GoalGridCard, ShowcasedAchievements, TodaysHabits
CommunityListItem, EnhancedCommunityCard, CommunityInsightsPanel
OnboardingTour backdrop, SmartNotifications cards

Image Alt Text

All <img> tags audited across 16+ files:

Pattern	Alt Text
User avatars	`:alt="'Profile photo for ' + userName"`
Badge images	`:alt="badge.name + ' badge'"`
Check-in photos	`alt="Check-in photo"`
Community covers	`:alt="community.name"`
Goal cover images	`alt="Goal cover image"`
Decorative hero images	`alt=""`

Decorative Icons

All decorative <ion-icon> and Lucide icon components marked with aria-hidden="true" across 60+ files — prevents screen readers from announcing purely visual elements like navigation arrows, status indicators, and ornamental icons.
