Next UI 1.0.0-RC.36 — preparation

At this preparation checkpoint RC36 is not yet published. RC35 remains the latest public candidate and is immutable. Planned artifacts are com.kingsrook.qqq:qqq-frontend-next:1.0.0-RC.36 and ghcr.io/qrun-io/qqq-frontend-next:1.0.0-RC.36. Public hashes, signatures and image digests will be recorded after delivery verification. Final 1.0 remains held for application soak and explicit owner approval.

Source

Main at 81a03ea (merge of PR175). Merged since RC35: PR175 (a11y: readable link text, 24px clear target, h2 widget titles, skip link focus).

Backend requirements

Requires QQQ 4.1.0-RC.15 or later for the UI API 1.6.0 features (as RC35). Profiles and avatars need QQQ 4.1.0-RC.17 (UI API 1.8.0); against older servers avatars fall back to initials and the uploader stays hidden. RC36 does not publish QQQ 4.1.

Product fixes

• Accessibility (PR175): link text meets 4.5:1 contrast through a new derived link color, clear buttons have 24px targets, widget titles are h2 headings, and the skip link takes focus correctly.

Bundle budget

Report-only (owner decision 2026-10-13).

Verification checkpoint

PR checks on the RC36 preparation source are recorded on the preparation PR; tag acceptance and public-artifact verification are recorded in the RC36 GitHub release after delivery.

Remaining RC limits

The RC35 limits carry forward unchanged; see #713, #711, #712 and #904.
