May 1, 2026May 2026 Monthly Summary for Esri/calcite-design-system focusing on visual consistency, overflow behavior, and accessibility across the design system. Highlights include UI alignment improvements for select and combobox across scales, overflow control enhancements in calcite-action-bar with per-group and per-item overflow controls, and a keyboard navigation fix in action-bar by reverting MutationObserver attribute-filter to preserve DOM order. Impact: improved cross-scale visuals, more predictable overflow behavior, and restored keyboard navigation, reducing user friction and support overhead. Technologies/skills demonstrated: CSS custom properties/tokens, design-system token discipline, mutation observer handling, Storybook coverage, and browser E2E testing.
