+# RFC-003: Canonical Select Component
+
+**Status:** 🟡 Draft — Under review  
+**Tier:** 1 (Canonical)  
+**Inherits From:** — (root component)  
+**Author:** AI Agent  
+**Date:** 2026-07-02
+
+---
+
+## 1. COGNITIVE PURPOSE
+
+Select exists to allow users to choose exactly one option from a predefined list. It reduces cognitive load by eliminating free-form input when the valid options are known in advance.
+
+**Design Goal:** The user can see available options, make a selection, and confirm their choice without typing or guessing.
+
+---
+
+## 2. WHEN TO USE
+
+- Choosing from 5–20 predefined options
+- Selecting a single value (country, status, category)
+- When options have clear labels
+- When free-form input would cause errors
+
+## 3. WHEN NOT TO USE
+
+- Fewer than 4 options (use Radio Group or Segmented Control)
+- More than 50 options (use Searchable Select or Autocomplete)
+- Multiple selections (use Multi-Select or Checkbox Group)
+- Boolean choice (use Switch or Checkbox)
+- Free-form entry (use Input)
+
+---
+
+## 4. USER EXPECTATION
+
+- Clicking the field reveals all options
+- Selected option is clearly indicated
+- Current selection is visible when closed
+- Options are searchable if list is long
+- Keyboard can navigate options
+- Disabled options are visually distinct
+
+---
+
+## 5. INTERACTION CONTRACT
+
+| Event | Response |
+|-------|----------|
+| Click | Open dropdown, show options |
+| Click option | Select option, close dropdown |
+| Click outside | Close dropdown, keep selection |
+| Tab | Move focus to next field, close dropdown |
+| Arrow Down | Open dropdown or move to next option |
+| Arrow Up | Move to previous option |
+| Enter | Select focused option, close dropdown |
+| Escape | Close dropdown, revert to previous selection |
+| Type letter | Jump to first option starting with that letter |
+
+---
+
+## 6. FAILURE BEHAVIOUR
+
+| Scenario | Response |
+|----------|----------|
+| No option selected | Show placeholder, allow form submission if optional |
+| Required but empty | Show error on blur or submit |
+| Option disabled | Prevent selection, show disabled state |
+| Options load asynchronously | Show loading state, then populate |
+| Options fail to load | Show error, allow retry |
+| User types non-matching letter | No action, or show "no results" |
+
+---
+
+## 7. ACCESSIBILITY CONTRACT
+
+- **Label:** Every Select MUST have associated `<label>` or `aria-label`
+- **Role:** MUST use `role="combobox"` or native `<select>`
+- **Expanded:** MUST communicate open/closed state with `aria-expanded`
+- **Selected:** MUST communicate selected option with `aria-selected`
+- **Focus:** Focus MUST move to dropdown when opened, return to trigger when closed
+- **Screen reader:** MUST announce number of options, current selection, and position
+- **Keyboard:** MUST support all interaction contract keyboard events
+
+---
+
+## 8. AI CONTRACT
+
+| Scenario | AI Choice |
+|----------|-----------|
+| 5–20 predefined options, single choice | Select |
+| < 4 options, single choice | Radio Group |
+| > 50 options | Searchable Select / Autocomplete |
+| Multiple selections | Multi-Select / Checkbox Group |

+# RFC-004: Canonical Card Component
+
+**Status:** 🟡 Draft — Under review  
+**Tier:** 1 (Canonical)  
+**Inherits From:** — (root component)  
+**Author:** AI Agent  
+**Date:** 2026-07-02
+
+---
+
+## 1. COGNITIVE PURPOSE
+
+Card exists to group related information into a bounded, scannable unit. It creates visual hierarchy by separating content from its surroundings without requiring explicit borders or dividers.
+
+**Design Goal:** The user can scan, compare, and act on grouped information as a single unit.
+
+---
+
+## 2. WHEN TO USE
+
+- Grouping related data (KPI, dataset, asset summary)
+- Presenting actionable items that need context
+- Creating scannable lists of heterogeneous content
+- Elevating content above the page background
+- Containing forms or workflows in a bounded area
+
+## 3. WHEN NOT TO USE
+
+- Single line of text (use plain text or List Item)
+- Simple navigation (use Link or Navigation)
+- Modal content (use Modal)
+- Full-page content (use Page layout)
+- When elevation is unnecessary (use flat surface)
+
+---
+
+## 4. USER EXPECTATION
+
+- Card is visually distinct from background
+- Card content is related and scannable
+- Card may be clickable (if actionable)
+- Card maintains consistent internal spacing
+- Card adapts to container width
+- Multiple cards align in grids or lists
+
+---
+
+## 5. INTERACTION CONTRACT
+
+| Event | Response |
+|-------|----------|
+| Click (actionable) | Navigate or trigger primary action |
+| Hover (actionable) | Elevation increases, cursor changes |
+| Focus (actionable) | Focus ring appears |
+| None (static) | No interaction, purely presentational |
+
+---
+
+## 6. FAILURE BEHAVIOUR
+
+| Scenario | Response |
+|----------|----------|
+| Content overflows | Scroll internally or truncate with ellipsis |
+| Image fails to load | Show placeholder or fallback icon |
+| Action fails | Show error state on card or in adjacent area |
+| Card is loading | Show skeleton state |
+| Card is empty | Show empty state with guidance |
+
+---
+
+## 7. ACCESSIBILITY CONTRACT
+
+- **Role:** Static cards use no ARIA role. Actionable cards use `role="button"` or `role="link"`.
+- **Focus:** Actionable cards MUST have visible focus ring
+- **Label:** Actionable cards MUST have accessible name (aria-label or visible text)
+- **Screen reader:** MUST announce card as group or link/button
+- **Keyboard:** Actionable cards MUST be activatable with Enter or Space
+- **Color:** MUST NOT rely on color alone to indicate actionability
+
+---
+
+## 8. AI CONTRACT
+
+| Scenario | AI Choice |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Group related data with actions | Card |
+| Single data point with label | List Item |
+| Navigation to another page | Link |
+| Modal content | Modal |
+| Full-page layout | Page |
+| Simple text without grouping | Plain text |
+
+---
+
+## 9. TOKEN DEPENDENCIES

+│ │ Footer (metadata, actions)     │ │
+│ └─────────────────────────────────┘ │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Header:** Top section, title + optional action, padding `space-4`
+- **Body:** Main content, padding `space-4`, flexible height
+- **Footer:** Bottom section, metadata or actions, padding `space-4`, top border `card-divider`

+- **Gap:** No gap between sections (padding handles spacing)
+
+---
+
+## 11. SIZES
+
+| Size | Width | Padding | Usage |
+|------|-------|---------|-------|
+| Small | 240px | `space-3` | Dense grids, compact data |
+| Medium | 320px | `space-4` | Default, most content |
+| Large | 480px | `space-5` | Featured content, dashboards |

+
+---
+
+## 12. VARIANTS
+
+| Variant | Visual | Usage |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Default | Border, subtle shadow | Standard content grouping |
+| Elevated | No border, stronger shadow | Featured content, dashboards |
+| Outlined | Border, no shadow | Dense layouts, tables |
+| Interactive | Hover elevation, cursor pointer | Clickable cards |
+
+---
+
+## 13. STATES
+
+| State | Visual | Motion |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| Default | `card-bg`, `card-shadow` | — |
+| Hover (interactive) | `card-shadow-hover`, cursor pointer | `duration-interaction` |
+| Active (interactive) | `card-shadow-active` | `duration-instant` |
+| Focus (interactive) | Focus ring | `duration-instant` |
+| Loading | Skeleton state | `duration-background` |
+| Empty | Empty state illustration + text | — |
+| Error | Error border or error message | `duration-interaction` |
+
+---
+
+## 14. KEYBOARD
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `Tab` | Move focus to next focusable element |
+| `Enter` / `Space` | Activate actionable card |
+| `Arrow keys` | Navigate between cards in grid/list |
+
+---
+
+## 15. TOUCH
+
+- Touch target: Entire card if actionable
+- Active state: Brief elevation reduction
+- No gesture support (no swipe, pinch)
+- Scroll: Card content scrolls internally if overflow
+
+---
+
+## 16. MOTION
+
+| Transition | Animation | Duration | Easing |
+|-----------|-----------|----------|--------|
+| Hover (interactive) | Elevation increase | `duration-interaction` | `ease-out` |
+| Active (interactive) | Elevation decrease | `duration-instant` | `ease-in` |
+| Focus | Focus ring appear | `duration-instant` | `ease-out` |
+| Loading skeleton | Shimmer animation | `duration-background` | `linear` |
+| Error appear | Border color change | `duration-interaction` | `ease-out` |
+
+**Reduced Motion:** No elevation animation. Focus ring appears instantly.
+
+---
+
+## 17. ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- ❌ **Nested cards:** Cards inside cards create visual confusion
+- ❌ **Too much padding:** Wastes space, reduces information density
+- ❌ **No visual distinction from background:** Defeats purpose of card
+- ❌ **Inconsistent internal spacing:** Breaks scannability
+- ❌ **Actionable without focus ring:** Accessibility failure
+- ❌ **Clickable entire card with internal buttons:** Event collision
+- ❌ **Card as only layout tool:** Use grid or flexbox for layout, card for grouping
+- ❌ **Excessive elevation:** Competes with modals and overlays
+
+---
+
+## 18. RELATED COMPONENTS
+
+- **Modal** — Overlay content, not inline
+- **Panel** — Larger container, often full-height
+- **List Item** — Single row, no grouping
+- **Tile** — Image-first card variant
+- **KPI Card** — Domain-specific card (Tier 3)
+- **Dataset Card** — Domain-specific card (Tier 3)
