They expose updated ARIA and tab semantics, use theme-based focus styling, and include accessibility and keyboard regression coverage. Storybook now includes a workflow example. ChangesWorkflow step accessibility
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow step now adds keyboard activation and accessibility semantics, but Space/Enter may be suppressed for focusable slotted content and the related test does not firmly protect the button-role behavior. This creates a bounded keyboard-accessibility regression risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Code Review
This pull request introduces accessibility and keyboard navigation improvements to the workflow step components, including ARIA roles, dynamic labels, and support for Space and Enter key selection, backed by new component tests. The review feedback highlights a critical bug in getStepLabel where the aria-label is repeatedly appended with the status on subsequent renders, suggesting a caching mechanism. Additionally, the feedback notes a missing changeset for these user-facing accessibility changes and recommends exposing a customizable prop for the 'Step indicator' label instead of hardcoding it.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

138-139: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winUse an accessibility locator for the interactive element.
The test locates the internal
.stepclass. It can still pass ifrole="button"is removed. Locate the step withgetByRole('button')so the test validates the public accessibility contract.Proposed fix
- const first = page.locator('ix-workflow-step').nth(0).locator('.step'); - const second = page.locator('ix-workflow-step').nth(1).locator('.step'); + const first = page.locator('ix-workflow-step').nth(0).getByRole('button'); + const second = page.locator('ix-workflow-step').nth(1).getByRole('button');As per path instructions, component tests should use accessibility locators for user-facing contracts.
