April 2025: Focused enhancements in SpareBank1/designsystem delivered two high-impact items that improve reliability and API clarity. The GroupCard Role Attribute Console Warning Fix eliminates false positives by applying role='group' only when GroupCard renders as a div, resulting in cleaner logs and fewer development-time warnings. The API Cleanup removes the unused 'weight' prop from Icon (ffe-icons-react) and ContextMessage (ffe-context-message-react), delivering a simpler, breaking API surface and reducing potential confusion for downstream consumers. These changes enhance maintainability, reduce technical debt, and provide a smoother integration path for teams using the design system.
