March 2026: Delivered an accessibility-focused UX enhancement for the pie-framework/pie-elements Disabled Tiles. By removing the opacity styling on disabled choice tiles, disabled states are more visually distinct while preserving visibility, improving accessibility and interaction clarity. This aligns with WCAG-inspired usability goals and reduces user confusion in form interactions. Commit tied to PD-5668 (e8d232942da35936ef1b03400eca8911e059ed36).
