Cascading process

Alternate to PRC-01. Each step indents further than the last, so the section reads as a descent into specificity rather than a flat numbered list.

Content it requires

  • processSteps from src/data/homeManagement.ts

Do not use it when

  • Breaks past about six steps. The indent runs out of horizontal room.
  • The indent is decorative on mobile, where it compresses to 10px per step.

Variants

None. Colour swaps and mirrored alignment do not count as variants.

Implementation

src/components/patterns/ProcessCascade.astro

---
import ProcessCascade from '../components/patterns/ProcessCascade.astro';
---

<ProcessCascade />

Import directly. Do not route production through patternComponents.

Production usage

Not yet used on a production page. Nothing here has been proven in front of a customer.

Accessibility

  • Verified at 360, 768, 1024, and 1440 with no horizontal overflow.
  • No interactive controls beyond links and buttons inherited from the design system.
  • Colour never carries meaning alone: every state marker is paired with text.
  • Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion.
