📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds grouped tabs with prefix and suffix content, updates tab discovery and keyboard navigation, and adds lint checks for tab accessories and group structure. It also changes Eleventy search, sitemap, and feed plugins to use the configured output directory.

Changes: Grouped tabs and accessories

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tab and group rendering
projects/core/src/tabs/..., projects/core/src/tabs-item-group/..., projects/forms/src/internal/controllers/type-anchor.controller.ts, projects/forms/src/internal/controllers/type-anchor.controller.test.ts
Tabs items and groups render prefix, default, and suffix slots. Their styles cover accessory placement, tab layout, and selection indicators. The type-anchor controller now searches only the default and anchor slots.
Tab discovery and navigation
projects/core/src/tabs/utils.ts, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.ts, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs-group.ts, projects/core/src/internal/controllers/keynav-list.controller.ts, projects/core/src/internal/controllers/keynav-list.controller.test.ts, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs-group.test.ts, projects/core/src/tabs-item-group/tabs-item-group.test.ts
Tabs discovers direct and grouped tab items, refreshes tab stops after item changes, synchronizes accessory tab order, and uses the event’s composed path to find the selected tab. Tests cover item updates, keyboard and pointer navigation, and grouped tab associations.
Exports, examples, and behavior validation
projects/core/package.json, projects/core/src/bundle.ts, projects/core/src/tabs-item-group/..., projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.examples.ts, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.test.*, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.test.lighthouse.ts, projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.test.visual.ts, projects/core/src/index.test.lighthouse.ts, projects/core/src/menu/menu.test.ts, projects/site/src/docs/elements/tabs.md
The package exposes TabsItemGroup. Examples and documentation show grouped tabs and accessories. Tests cover rendered slots, interactions, accessibility, visual output, and payload limits.

Tab markup lint validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accessory recognition and slot contracts
projects/lint/src/eslint/internals/*, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-interactive-tab-accessories.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-invalid-invoker-triggers.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-missing-slotted-elements.ts
The new rule identifies interactive content in tab prefix and suffix slots. Slot rules now accept TabsItemGroup and require one default-slot tab item. The invoker-trigger rule uses a shared button-element list.
Rule registration and validation
projects/lint/src/eslint/configs/html.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-interactive-tab-accessories.test.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-invalid-slotted-elements.test.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rules/no-missing-slotted-elements.test.ts, projects/lint/src/eslint/rule-documentation.test.ts, projects/site/src/docs/lint/rules.test.ts
The HTML configuration enables the new rule. Tests cover accessory recognition, slot validation, and the updated rule count.

Eleventy output destinations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build output configuration and plugins
projects/site/eleventy.config.js, projects/site/src/_11ty/plugins/search.*, projects/site/src/_11ty/plugins/sitemap-xml.*, projects/site/src/_11ty/plugins/updates-feed.*
Search files, the sitemap, and feeds use Eleventy’s configured output directory. Plugin tests check the generated files.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e629f

Direct tab-item controls may have inconsistent accessibility semantics, and some grouped-tab markup can pass lint without functioning at runtime.

- Around line 571-575: In the focus-preservation test, assert that the value
captured in focused is button before dispatching the pointerup event. Keep the
existing post-event activeElement comparison.

Review comments at @projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.examples.ts:
- Line 541: Move the suffix action represented by nve-icon-button outside its
nve-tabs-item so focusable controls are no longer descendants of a tab; preserve
the button’s accessible name and its action behavior.

Review comments at @projects/core/src/tabs/tabs.ts:
- Around line 81-83: Add an accessibility test for the prefix and suffix
controls in TabsItem that exposes the tab role to axe, since
ElementInternals-based roles are not inspected by the current helper. Verify the
nested-interactive rule with focusable controls in both accessory slots.

Eleventy completion hooks could write into .11ty-vite/public while Vite
renamed dist into .11ty-vite, causing ENOTEMPTY build failures.

Run hooks sequentially so Vite completes before search, sitemap, and feed
writers publish to the final output directory. Sitemap and feed writers
use Eleventy's configured output directory.

Validation: site build and 14 sitemap/feed tests passed.
