Design System

Work has continued on expanding the design system with both foundational tokens and reusable components. New colour and semantic z-index tokens have been added, alongside shared components including TextInput, Panel, Pagination, AnnouncementBar, FooterPromotion, LinkDirectory, and video components.

Since the last update, there has been strong progress on the header, footer, and mobile navigation, with final polishes taking place. There has also been work on supporting elements such as integrated search, updates to expandable patterns to support new navigation behaviours, and the introduction of more compact action styles for use in dense layouts. In parallel, additional work has focused on improving button and icon interactions, as well as introducing announcement messaging.

Work continues on strengthening the design system foundations, with updates to buttons and links to ensure accessible focus styles, improved colour contrast, and appropriate touch target sizing. Development has also begun on new header and footer components designed to support full keyboard navigation and improve overall accessibility.
