Repository hygiene: added .gitattributes to enforce consistent line-ending handling across platforms. This ensures cleaner diffs and smoother collaboration in mixed development environments. No functional changes.

Resolved critical WCAG compliance issues and packaging constraints that were blocking production deployments. These fixes ensure the template meets accessibility standards and ships cleanly in your build pipeline without friction. **What's fixed:** - WCAG compliance hardening across component library - Packaging configuration corrections for reliable builds No migration required. Update via your package manager as usual.

Dependency maintenance: updated non-major dependencies to their latest patch and minor versions. No breaking changes or new features in this release.

Dependency hygiene: updated GitHub Actions checkout to v7 for improved CI/CD reliability and performance.

Dependency maintenance: pinned transitive dependencies to ensure consistent builds and reproducible installs across environments.

Security and reliability hardening: pinned hono to ^4.12.25 via pnpm.overrides to resolve a high-priority dependency issue flagged in automated audits. This ensures your build pipeline remains clean and your dependencies stay current without manual intervention. No breaking changes. Update at your convenience.

Fixed ARIA attribute scope and state management: - **Pricing toggle**: corrected `aria-pressed` state binding to properly reflect toggle state for assistive technologies - **Registration flow**: scoped `aria-current` attribute on register step indicator for accurate navigation context These changes improve semantic accuracy and screen reader announcements without requiring any buyer-side updates.

Fixed touch target sizing on ManageCookiesButton and te-top-banner to meet WCAG SC 2.5.8 requirements. Both components now provide adequate spacing and clickable area for reliable mobile and assistive-device interaction, improving accessibility compliance across the template.

**Canonical tag scoping fix**: Moved layout-level canonical declarations to page scope to prevent child routes from inheriting parent canonical URLs. This ensures each page declares its own canonical correctly, improving search engine crawlability and preventing indexing confusion in multi-page applications. If you've noticed canonical tags appearing on unintended child pages, this release resolves that behaviour.

**Mobile Navigation** - Fixed mobile drawer background to render with proper opacity, improving visual clarity and reducing unintended transparency on overlay interactions.

Added `TopDemoBanner`, a sticky-top conversion banner component for demo and marketing pages. Use this pattern to surface time-sensitive CTAs or promotional messaging without disrupting page layout. The component respects viewport constraints and integrates with the existing Ember + Next.js stack. No breaking changes. Existing projects continue to work without modification.

Configuration: moved demo user email into `SITE_CONFIG.demoUser` for improved maintainability and centralized configuration management.

Documentation refresh: regenerated buyer-facing docs for Ember integration. No functional changes to the template or components.

Fixed heading hierarchy in integrations card (h3 → h2) to eliminate skip-level violations. Removed redundant `aria-pressed` attributes from play/pause toggles on automations and campaigns sections—this combination violates APG patterns and causes screen readers to announce conflicting action labels. These changes improve semantic accuracy and reduce cognitive load for assistive technology users without requiring any buyer action.

No breaking changes. All existing functionality remains intact. If you maintain custom components, review the a11y patterns in this release to align with the updated standards.

Added California and US state privacy rights disclosures to the `/privacy` page template, ensuring alignment with evolving state-level privacy regulations (Gate 17). This update expands the baseline privacy policy language to cover consumer rights under California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar state frameworks. Review the updated template to confirm it meets your jurisdiction's requirements and customize as needed for your specific data practices.

Update at your convenience to benefit from improved standards compliance and performance characteristics.

**Fixed:** useCountUp hook now renders correct initial value during server-side rendering, eliminating hydration mismatches when count animations appear in server-rendered pages. This resolves visual flicker and console warnings on first load.

Documentation: Updated references from Framer Motion to Motion (motion/react) to reflect the official library rebranding. Reorganized dashboard documentation pages into a components structure for improved clarity. No changes to component APIs or runtime behaviour.

Completed a comprehensive P0 audit sweep across 14 content files, addressing critical compliance and quality issues identified in the premium audit. These fixes improve content accuracy, metadata consistency, and standards adherence throughout the template. No breaking changes. Update at your convenience.

Added explicit DEMO_CONTENT markers throughout the Ember marketing template to help you quickly identify placeholder content during implementation. This reduces the risk of accidentally shipping demo copy to production. Refined deliverability-related claims in marketing copy to be more precise and defensible. These changes ensure your messaging aligns with best practices when promoting email or messaging features. No breaking changes. Update at your convenience.

Dependency hygiene: updated actions/github-script to v9. This is a CI/CD tooling update with no impact on template functionality or buyer workflows.

Added a new accent-tinted skeleton loading component with built-in dashboard loading.tsx integration. This primitive provides a consistent, branded loading state across your application with minimal setup. The skeleton component respects your accent color configuration and includes ready-to-use patterns for dashboard layouts, reducing boilerplate for common loading scenarios. No breaking changes. Existing projects update without modification.

Added root `opengraph-image.tsx` powered by Next.js `next/og` with brand-aware composition (#86). The template now auto-generates dynamic OG images for social sharing, respecting your brand colors and typography. No configuration required—images are generated at build time and served automatically when your pages are shared on social platforms. This improves click-through rates on social links and ensures consistent brand presentation across LinkedIn, Twitter, and other platforms.

Fixed a11y issue where the background remained interactive while the mobile menu was open. The background is now properly marked inert, preventing screen reader users from navigating outside the menu overlay. This ensures focus is contained within the menu and improves overall keyboard navigation experience on mobile viewports.

Improved default typography rendering across the template: - **Body text**: Tabular numerals (tnum) enabled for consistent number alignment in data tables and lists - **Monospace surfaces**: Slashed-zero (zero-slash) applied to improve distinction between zero and the letter O in code blocks and terminal-style components These OpenType features enhance readability in numeric and code-heavy contexts without requiring configuration changes. The improvements apply automatically across all typography scales.

Converted all `--mech-color-*` design tokens from raw hex and rgba values to OKLCH color space (#81). OKLCH provides perceptually uniform color scaling, better accessibility for contrast ratios, and improved consistency across light and dark modes. This change is backward-compatible—existing color references work unchanged, but new work benefits from the improved color model.

Introduced `<RevealOnScroll>`, a performant animation component that triggers content reveals as elements enter the viewport. Ideal for below-fold conversion optimization on marketing pages. **Key features:** - Intersection Observer–based triggering (no scroll event listeners) - Configurable delay and animation easing - SSR-safe with hydration support - Works with Next.js Image and standard DOM elements Use it to stagger hero sections, testimonials, CTAs, and feature blocks for improved engagement without layout shift. See the component docs in the template for integration examples.
