Pre-push review: mermaid-card-a11y (T-1041)

Two commits exposing the Mermaid preview card's overlay actions ("Show code", "Copy code") to VoiceOver and Voice Control even when the overlay is hidden. Mirrors the established ImageBlockView.swift pattern, adds two catalog entries, and ships a tightened test suite.

At a glance

  • VoiceOver / Voice Control users can now reach the Mermaid card's "Show code" and "Copy code" actions even while the overlay is hidden (iOS tap-to-reveal, macOS hover-only).

  • Visible "Show" and "Copy Code" overlay buttons gain .accessibilityHint modifiers using LocalizedStringKey(...) per the project's accessibility-modifier rule in CLAUDE.md.

  • Test file iterated mid-review: tautological String(localized:) checks replaced with Bundle.localizedString + sentinel that actually fail when keys are missing from the compiled catalog.

  • Visual overlay behaviour and the thumbnail Button's existing accessibility modifiers are unchanged. Out of scope: T-1042 (auto-dismiss accessibility) and T-1044 (Reduce-Transparency support).

Verdict

Ready to push

All requirements from specs/mermaid-card-a11y/smolspec.md are satisfied. Production change is four SwiftUI modifiers on MermaidPreviewCard.renderedView(_:) plus two catalog entries. Lint, make test-locales, make test-quick, and make build-ios all green. The initial weak String(localized:)-based tests were flagged by review and replaced with sentinel-based Bundle.localizedString checks in the second commit.

Three-level explanation

What changed

The Mermaid diagram preview card on iOS only shows its "Show" and "Copy Code" buttons after the user taps the thumbnail (they auto-hide after 3 seconds). On macOS, the buttons only appear on hover. Users who navigate the app with VoiceOver or Voice Control had no way to invoke either action when the buttons weren't visible.

Why it matters

It's an accessibility hole: the only way to reveal those buttons was via gestures that aren't available to all users. The audit (docs/accessibility-review.md) flagged it as a high-severity finding.

Key concepts

SwiftUI's .accessibilityAction(named:) registers an action that VoiceOver and Voice Control surface in the rotor / command list regardless of whether a button is on screen. Adding it at the card level means "Show code" and "Copy code" are always reachable. The visible buttons additionally get .accessibilityHint modifiers so VoiceOver narrates what each one does when the overlay is on screen.

Architecture

The card has three render states: loading, rendered, and failed. The new modifiers attach to the ZStack inside renderedView(_:), so they apply only when a thumbnail is actually displayed. The pre-existing .accessibilityElement(children: .contain) on the outer body keeps child elements individually focusable; the card-level actions register cleanly alongside.

Patterns

The implementation mirrors ImageBlockView.swift:202-203 — a comment in that file explicitly says "keep in sync with MermaidPreviewCard". Using the established pattern keeps the two overlays consistent for future contributors.

Trade-offs

Decision log captures two trade-offs: (1) card-level actions are exposed even when the visible buttons are also on screen, which produces a minor rotor duplication; (2) accessibility action names ("Show code" / "Copy code") diverge from visible labels ("Show" / "Copy Code") because the actions are heard out of visual context and need to stand alone. Both are documented in decision_log.md.

Implementation detail

The .accessibilityAction(named:) calls use bare-literal String per the existing ImageBlockView precedent. CLAUDE.md's ban on bare-literal accessibility modifiers explicitly targets .accessibilityLabel / .accessibilityHint — the hint additions correctly use LocalizedStringKey("...") wrappers. Catalog auto-extraction by the Xcode build picks up the literals; make test-locales validated the catalog across en (base), en-AU, en-GB, en-US.

Edge cases

The action closures capture self by value (SwiftUI View is a struct), so no retain cycle risk. The card already routes handleThumbnailTap() to openDiagram(), which means the new "Show code" action duplicates the thumbnail's primary tap behaviour — accepted because mirroring ImageBlockView is the project convention; a follow-up could mark the overlay buttons .accessibilityHidden(true) to deduplicate.

Testing

The initial commit's String(localized:)-based assertions were weak: that API silently returns the key as a fallback, so the tests would have passed with the catalog stripped. The follow-up commit replaces them with Bundle.main.localizedString(forKey:value:table:) using a sentinel default, plus a control test confirming the sentinel mechanic distinguishes missing from present. The cardConstructionSucceeds test guards compilation of the modifier chain; true behavioural verification of .accessibilityAction invocation would require ViewInspector or a manual VoiceOver run, neither of which is in the project's tooling.

Important changes — detailed

Card-level accessibility actions on the rendered ZStack

prism/Views/MermaidPreviewCard.swift

Why it matters. This is the only behavioural change. Without it, VoiceOver and Voice Control users can never reach Show / Copy Code while the overlay is hidden.

What to look at. MermaidPreviewCard.swift:158-159 (.accessibilityAction(named: "Show code") and (named: "Copy code"))

Takeaway. Card-level .accessibilityAction(named:) is the cleanest way to expose tap-to-reveal overlay actions to assistive tech without changing the visual design. Pair it with .accessibilityHint on the visible buttons so screen-reader narration stays consistent when both layers are on screen.
Rationale. Mirrors the established ImageBlockView.swift:202-203 pattern (which the file comment explicitly says is parallel to MermaidPreviewCard). Lower-risk than always-rendering the buttons or restructuring the overlay; documented in specs/mermaid-card-a11y/decision_log.md Decision 1.

Hint strings use LocalizedStringKey wrapper

prism/Views/MermaidPreviewCard.swift

Why it matters. CLAUDE.md bans bare-literal accessibility modifiers; using the wrapper keeps the project lint clean and routes the strings through the localisation catalog correctly.

What to look at. MermaidPreviewCard.swift:181, 191 (.accessibilityHint(LocalizedStringKey(...)))

Takeaway. .accessibilityHint takes both String and LocalizedStringKey; for catalog-bound strings always pick the LocalizedStringKey overload explicitly so Xcode auto-extraction picks up the right symbol.
Rationale. Project rule in CLAUDE.md — "Accessibility modifiers always use an explicit LocalizedStringKey wrapper for literals." Bare-literal accessibility-modifier forms are an enumerated banned pattern.

Tests use sentinel-based catalog presence checks

prismTests/MermaidPreviewCardAccessibilityTests.swift

Why it matters. The first iteration used String(localized:) which silently falls back to the key when missing, so the tests passed with or without catalog entries. The sentinel approach catches missing keys.

What to look at. MermaidPreviewCardAccessibilityTests.swift:31-37 (localised helper), 76-104 (catalog-presence tests)

Takeaway. Bundle.localizedString(forKey:value:table:) with a sentinel default is the project pattern for testing catalog key presence without ViewInspector. Pair it with a control test that confirms the sentinel mechanic actually distinguishes missing from present in the test target's bundle.
Rationale. Raised by Agent 2 (code-quality) and Agent 4 (spec adherence) during the pre-push review. The original assertions could not distinguish present from missing keys; the sentinel approach restores real behavioural verification.

Two new catalog entries, two reused

prism/Localizable.xcstrings

Why it matters. Reusing the "Copy code" and "Copies the diagram source code to clipboard" keys keeps translator workload down and means the copy-hint is shared with MermaidErrorView.

What to look at. Localizable.xcstrings new entries: "Show code", "Opens the rendered diagram".

Takeaway. Before adding catalog entries, grep the existing catalog for substrings — there are often near-matches that can be reused without rewording. Validate by running make test-locales across all configured locales.
Rationale. Catalog inspection during research surfaced "Copies the diagram source code to clipboard" already in use at MermaidErrorView.swift:101; documented in smolspec.md.

Key decisions

Card-level .accessibilityAction(named:) vs always-rendered buttons

Attach card-level actions to the rendered ZStack rather than restructure the overlay to always show its buttons. Preserves visual minimalism, mirrors ImageBlockView.swift:202-203 (which the file comment explicitly says is parallel to MermaidPreviewCard), and minimises the diff. Documented in specs/mermaid-card-a11y/decision_log.md Decision 1.

Sentence-case action names diverge from title-case visible labels

Visible buttons read "Show" and "Copy Code"; accessibility actions read "Show code" and "Copy code". Accessibility prose follows Apple HIG sentence-case; visible labels stay compact because they're paired with icons. Documented in decision_log.md Decision 2.

Switch to sentinel-based catalog tests

Initial tests used String(localized:) which falls back to the key when missing. Replaced with Bundle.main.localizedString(forKey:value:table:) + sentinel + control assertion. Discovered during pre-push review; recorded in the b1aaa3a commit message.

Visible overlay buttons stay accessible (not hidden)

The new card-level actions duplicate the overlay's visible buttons when the overlay is on screen. Marking the visible buttons .accessibilityHidden(true) would deduplicate but diverge from ImageBlockView. Decision log explicitly defers that follow-up.

Additionally, the thumbnail `Button` already+  carries `.accessibilityHint("Tap to view full diagram")` and routes to+  `handleThumbnailTap()` → `openDiagram()`, so the new "Show code" card-level+  action duplicates the thumbnail's primary tap behaviour. **Mitigation:** This+  duplication is already accepted in the parallel `ImageBlockView`+  implementation.

The visible "Show" and "Copy Code" overlay buttons also gain `.accessibilityHint(LocalizedStringKey(...))` modifiers so assistive tech narrates their behaviour when the overlay is on screen. Two new catalog entries — "Show code" and "Opens the rendered diagram" — are added to `prism/Localizable.xcstrings`; the "Copy code" action name and "Copies the diagram source code to clipboard" hint reuse existing keys (the latter shared with `MermaidErrorView.swift:101`). New `MermaidPreviewCardAccessibilityTests` Swift Testing suite covers card construction and `String(localized:)` resolution for the four catalog keys involved. Visual overlay behaviour (iOS tap-to-reveal with 3 s auto-dismiss, macOS hover-only) is unchanged. Spec lives under `specs/mermaid-card-a11y/`. - Render markdown tables that appear inside list items as tables instead of raw markdown text (T-1034). `MarkdownBlockParser.convertListItem` now emits a `.block(.table(...))` child for swift-markdown `Table` nodes nested under a list item, and `ListBlockView` renders them via a new private `NestedTableBlockView` wrapper that delegates to the existing `AccessibleTableView`. The wrapper hides the row-indicator column (per-row notes on nested tables deferred per ticket) and initialises its display mode via `TableDisplayMode.initialMode(headers:rows:)` so wider tables fall back to readable mode automatically. Test coverage extends `ListItemNestedBlocksTests` with four cases (parser emits the table child, item content no longer contains pipe text, alignment markers round-trip, list-block id structural fingerprint pinned against silent ID drift). Knowingly orphans any existing note attached to a list item that contains a table — the item's `contentForHashing` necessarily changes — accepted per `specs/tables-in-list-items/decision_log.md`. - Research report on adding HTML viewing with annotations to Prism, covering WKWebView, native parse, AttributedString, HTML→Markdown, and hybrid rendering options plus a Hypothesis-style note-anchoring cascade and a layered security model (sanitisation, CSP, scheme handler). Stored under `docs/agent-notes/` and not bundled in the app. - `prism-notes-js` spec for a self-contained single-file JavaScript library that adds basic note-taking and copy-as-markdown to any HTML page (personal-use companion artifact; not part of the Prism Swift app). Smolspec, decision log, and 8 implementation tasks live under `specs/prism-notes-js/`.

Things to double-check

Manual VoiceOver verification on iOS

Recommended before merging: launch the iOS simulator, navigate to a document containing a mermaid block, enable VoiceOver, and confirm the rotor surfaces "Show code" and "Copy code" actions on the rendered thumbnail even when the overlay is hidden. The unit tests cover catalog presence and modifier compilation only — they cannot verify the action invocation contract.

Rotor duplication audit

If user testing reports the rotor feels noisy when the overlay is visible, revisit Decision 1 — the follow-up is to mark the visible overlay Buttons .accessibilityHidden(true) so only the card-level actions are exposed.
