What

/install is often the first page a new team sees, so it is now a single-glance page instead of a six-step walkthrough.

Before: six numbered sections — dependency tabs (incl. Maven), R8/ProGuard, SafeOpMode, verify, GamepadAdaptor, GitHub Packages — most of which required no action to install.

After:

  • Hero (badge, h1, one-line lede: "One line in build.dependencies.gradle. Sync. Done.") using the homepage's redesign language — grid background, glow, Tailwind tokens — instead of the legacy scoped-CSS style.
  • One dark-chrome code card (matches the homepage CodeTabs chrome) with the dependency snippet, Groovy/Kotlin tabs, and a copy button with copied/error feedback.
  • A single "Sync Now and you're done" line, three checkmark chips (no token, no repository changes, R8-safe), and two CTAs: Write your first OpMode and the full install guide.
  • The GitHub Packages mirror moves into a collapsed <details> with the properties + Groovy snippets, linking to the Kotlin DSL/troubleshooting section in the docs.
  • Dropped the Maven tab and the R8/verify/SafeOpMode/GamepadAdaptor "steps" — none of them are install actions, and that content already lives in the docs it links to.

Also extends the shiki highlighter (highlightCode()) with groovy, kotlin, and properties languages.

Notes

  • Full ARIA tabs pattern: roving tabindex, arrow-key navigation, aria-controls/aria-labelledby, and polite copy feedback. Script self-inits on astro:page-load with a DOMContentLoaded fallback.
  • Verified: production build passes, /install serves 200, tabs/panels/aria wiring and all snippets present in built HTML.

Screenshots

Light and dark themes render via the existing redesign tokens; the code card keeps the fixed dark instrument chrome used by the homepage.

Snippet highlighting contract
website/src/lib/highlight.ts
The Shiki highlighter now loads Groovy, Kotlin, and properties languages. SnippetLang and highlightCode provide typed snippet rendering.
Install page content

The page now renders versioned Groovy and Kotlin dependency snippets, Maven Central messaging, reassurance text, and a collapsible GitHub Packages mirror. Previous Maven, ProGuard, SafeOpMode, verification, and GamepadAdaptor sections were removed.
Install page interactions
website/src/pages/install.astro
Build-system tabs, keyboard navigation, copy-to-clipboard handling, feedback states, and Astro page-load initialization were added.

Keyboard and screen-reader users may miss snippet content or copy feedback. Both fixes are small and should be addressed, but they do not block the general installation flow.

WARNING: VERSION constant duplicated from index.astro

const VERSION = '0.4.0' is also defined in website/src/pages/index.astro:106. Every release requires updating both files in lockstep; if they diverge, the home badge and install snippet will show different versions. Centralize the version in a shared module (e.g., src/lib/version.ts) and import from both pages.

SUGGESTION: Type assertion bypasses TypeScript safety

s.id as 'groovy' | 'kotlin' papers over an inference mismatch — if a future snippet adds a new id (e.g., 'maven'), this cast will silently accept an invalid language instead of erroring at the highlightCode call. Annotating snippets with SnippetLang (or typing id as 'groovy' | 'kotlin') would let TypeScript verify correctness at the boundary.

WARNING: Missing Home/End keyboard navigation in tabs

The WAI-ARIA tabs pattern recommends Home jump to the first tab and End jump to the last. Only ArrowLeft/ArrowRight are handled here, so keyboard-only users must cycle through every tab to reach the ends. Add branches for e.key === 'Home' (select tabs[0], focus) and e.key === 'End' (select tabs[tabs.length - 1], focus).

Only commit a376243 (re-announce copy results on rapid repeat clicks) was reviewed incrementally. The previous review's SUGGESTION about the polite live region not re-announcing identical text on rapid double-click (originally at line 353 / now line 368) is resolved by the new clear-then-restore implementation in the announce function.

All three review issues fixed in 1bbe59e:

  • VERSION duplication — latestVersion() added to src/lib/changelog.ts and now used by both index.astro and install.astro. CHANGELOG.md (already a required release artifact, and already the source for /changelog) is the single source of truth, so a release updates the home badge, install snippet, and homepage CTA in one edit.
  • Home/End keyboard navigation — tabs now support Home (first tab) and End (last tab) alongside arrow keys, per the WAI-ARIA tabs pattern.
  • Type assertion — removed s.id as 'groovy' | 'kotlin'; snippets is annotated with id: SnippetLang so an invalid language id is a compile error at the declaration.

Verified: production build passes, built HTML shows v0.4.0 on both pages from the changelog-derived version, Home/End branches present in the bundled script, and npm run test:parse still passes.

SUGGESTION: latestVersion() re-reads and re-parses CHANGELOG.md on every call

loadChangelog() is invoked unconditionally on each call, re-reading and re-parsing CHANGELOG.md. With both index.astro and install.astro now calling latestVersion() (and /changelog likely calling loadChangelog() directly), each page build re-parses the file independently — and SSR mode would re-parse on every request. Memoize the result at module scope (e.g. a top-level let cached: string | null = null with lazy init) so the file is read and parsed once per process.

Second round of review fixes in b40b384:

  • CodeRabbit — tabpanel focusability: each role="tabpanel" now has tabindex="0" (WAI-ARIA APG recommendation for panels without focusable content), so after arrow-key activation a Tab press moves into the active panel instead of skipping it. Hidden panels are display: none and therefore not focusable, so only the active panel takes focus.
  • CodeRabbit — copy results live region: added a role="status" aria-live="polite" region next to the copy button, announced in both the success ("Copied to clipboard") and failure ("Copy failed — select the snippet and copy manually") paths, cleared by the same reset timers.
  • Kilo — latestVersion() memoization: the CHANGELOG.md read/parse is now cached at module scope, so the file is read once per process instead of once per call.

Verified: production build clean, built HTML contains role="tabpanel" tabindex="0", the live region, and the announce messages; npm run test:parse passes.

[SUGGESTION]: Polite live region won't re-announce identical text on rapid double-click

aria-live="polite" does not re-announce when textContent is set to the same string. If a user (especially a screen-reader user) clicks Copy twice within the 1.6s reset window, the second click sets the live region to "Copied to clipboard" again — but the assistive technology does not re-announce it. The visual icon does change, so the assistive feedback is lost.

The same applies to the failure announcement at line 358.

Consider clearing the live region first (e.g. announce(''); setTimeout(() => announce(msg), 50);) or otherwise varying the message so the text differs each time.

SUGGESTION: Magic number 50 for the announce delay should be a named constant with rationale

The 50ms timeout is a magic number. The adjacent comment explains the what ("force a change first") but not the why 50ms specifically or which assistive-technology behavior motivated that duration. Some screen readers — older JAWS, mobile VoiceOver, TalkBack with reduced-motion settings — may debounce live-region updates for longer than 50ms, so the re-announce can still be silently dropped on those clients.

Consider:

  1. Extracting to a named constant (e.g. const LIVE_REGION_RESET_DELAY_MS = 50;) so the value is discoverable and tunable.
  2. Adding a comment that names the screen-reader behavior this duration is tuned for.
  3. Or using a more robust technique that doesn't rely on a timing race at all — e.g. appending a monotonically-increasing counter to the message so every announcement is textually distinct (the live region is sr-only, so a counter suffix is invisible to sighted users).

Also note: the if (copyStatus) guard inside the setTimeout callback on line 344 is dead code — copyStatus is const and the outer if (!copyStatus) return; already narrows it.

Last issue fixed in a376243: announce() now clears the live region and re-sets the message after 50 ms when the text is identical, so a second Copy click inside the 1.6 s reset window is re-announced instead of being swallowed by aria-live="polite". Pending deferred announcements are cancelled on each new call to avoid races between the copy and reset paths.

Verified: production build clean, and the minified bundle contains the identical-text guard, the deferred re-set, and both announcement messages.
