New patterns - Add discover-hero.php: breadcrumb, phase badge, heading, CTAs, share pill - Add phase-journey-nav.php: reusable 6-phase nav, auto-detects active phase by slug - Add discover-delivery-numbers.php: 3-stat row reusing is-style-stat-segment - Add discover-introduction.php: two-column intro text section Tokens - Add custom.color.phase.discover-on-dark to theme.json and styles/dark.json - Needed so the hero's permanent-dark background doesn't inherit the light-mode phase.discover value, which is too dark to read on black Context - Part of LS-1596 epic; reuses existing tokens/styles from services-hero.php, services-delivery-numbers.php, and services-linked-decisions.php - No new block/section styles required
…(LS-4179)
New patterns
- Add discover-hero.php: full-bleed dark hero with grid texture, radial
phase glow, compact phase badge, centred heading/CTAs, breadcrumb
- Add phase-journey-nav.php: reusable 6-phase nav, auto-detects active
phase by slug for reuse on future Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve pages
- Add discover-delivery-numbers.php: 3-stat row reusing is-style-stat-segment
- Add discover-introduction.php: two-column intro text section
New button styles
- Add button-phase-primary.json / button-phase-outline.json: dedicated
pill CTAs for phase-page heroes
- Reason: sitewide button colours flip with the light/dark style
variation, but phase heroes are permanently dark
- Add hover/focus arrow-slide motion + reduced-motion companion in
_button-motion.scss
Structural styles
- Add discover-hero.scss: .ls-phase-hero background (grid + radial glow
+ dark band gradient) and active-breadcrumb-crumb colour
- Wire into package.json build scripts, functions.php editor styles, and
inc/animations.php frontend loader (scoped to is_page('discover'))
Tokens
- Add custom.color.phase.discover-on-dark to theme.json and
styles/dark.json (phase.discover is too dark to read on a permanent
black background)
- Add custom.line-height.heading-tight to styles/presets/typography.json
Context
- Part of LS-1596 epic; reuses existing tokens/styles from
services-hero.php, blog-hero.php, and work-project-card.scss
- No new colour tokens beyond the two above
Layout & spacing - Widen heading wrapper 760px->860px so "Research. Strategise." wraps onto one line as intended, instead of splitting to a third line - Increase "Send to a friend" text to the 16px/200 font-size preset and its icon from 11px to 12px to match Buttons - Remove the arrow glyph (and its now-orphaned hover-slide motion) from button-phase-outline — secondary CTA doesn't need one, only primary does - Rebalance CTA widths: primary padding 30->40, outline 30->20, so the two buttons read closer in size instead of the outline dwarfing primary Background - Reduce discover-hero.scss grid-line opacity 4%->2% to match the reference more closely while keeping the glow untouched Icons - Fix "Send to a friend": lightspeed/paper-plane-tilt now exists in ls-plugin (PR #26) and resolves correctly — it was silently blank before since that icon didn't exist yet - Confirmed every icon used across the Discover patterns resolves from the real LightSpeed collection (WordPress core Icon block + ls-plugin) "Send to a friend" hover - Add a subtle hover/focus-within state (background/border opacity only, no motion) reusing the same on-dark colour family - Move its rest-state background/border out of discover-hero.php's inline block attributes and into discover-hero.scss — an inline style always wins the cascade over an external :hover rule for the same property, so the hover state could never have applied while those colours stayed inline (same class of bug already documented in blog-hero.scss)
Compliance fix
- src/scss/animations/_button-motion.scss (compiles into the sitewide
assets/css/animations.css) may only contain @keyframes/transition/
transform/animation/will-change rules per AGENTS.md — border-radius,
colour, background, size and position values had drifted in there
across the last few rounds of button work
Structural split
- Add src/scss/structural/button-phase.scss: rest-state shape and
hover end-state values (radius targets, the outline's colour flip,
the circle reveal's size/position/colour) for Button - Phase
Primary/Outline, same split already used for Button - Secondary
(src/scss/structural/button-secondary.scss)
- _button-motion.scss now holds only the transition/transform
declarations and their reduced-motion companions
- Add position/overflow (static, non-hover) to button-phase-outline.json's
own css field instead, since that's legitimate JSON-level CSS
Wiring
- Register button-phase.scss in package.json's build scripts
- Enqueue assets/css/button-phase.css via functions.php (editor) and
inc/animations.php (is_page('discover') fast path + render_block
fallback, so it keeps working once this button style is reused on
the future Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve phase pages)
Verified
- grep-confirmed every remaining is-style-button-phase-* rule in
animations.css uses only transition/transform
- Re-tested both buttons' rest and hover states in the browser —
no visual regression from the refactor
Fix
- Add margin-top: 0 to phase-journey-nav.php's outer nav block,
matching the same override discover-hero.php already uses
Root cause
- WordPress's default block spacing (`:where(.is-layout-constrained)
> * { margin-block-start: spacing|30 }`) auto-inserts a gap between
every top-level block in post content — correct rhythm between most
sections, but wrong here since the nav bar should read as part of
the hero, not a separate section
- Confirmed via computed styles in the browser rather than guessing;
not a template issue or a stray pattern margin
Journey Phases Nav - Tighten item padding/blockGap so the six phase links sit closer together - Add proportional side padding (8%) to the bar so it scales with width like the reference design - Add inactive/hover/active/hover-active/focus-visible states in a new structural SCSS file - Wire up the new stylesheet in functions.php, animations.php and package.json build scripts Routing fix - Correct the nav's own link URLs from bare /discover/, /create/, etc. to their real nested paths under /services/ - Add inc/phase-page-redirects.php: redirects bare phase slugs to their real page before WordPress's 404 fuzzy-matcher can send them to the wrong page (e.g. "discover" vs "discovery")
Renames - discover-hero.php -> phase-hero.php - discover-delivery-numbers.php -> phase-delivery-numbers.php - discover-introduction.php -> phase-introduction.php - src/scss/structural/discover-hero.scss -> phase-hero.scss Context - All six lifecycle phase pages (Discover, Create, Build, Launch, Grow, Evolve) share the exact same structure, just different colour and content - Renamed now so these are clearly reusable across all phase pages, not Discover-specific
…ld output Reference updates - Update pattern slugs/titles in each renamed file (ls-theme/phase-hero, phase-delivery-numbers, phase-introduction) - Rename CSS classes ls-discover-hero__share -> ls-phase-hero__share, ls-discover-stats-row -> ls-phase-stats-row - Rename $ls_discover_stats variables to $ls_phase_stats in phase-delivery-numbers.php - Update functions.php, inc/animations.php and package.json build scripts to reference phase-hero.scss/css instead of discover-hero - Widen phase-hero's style-loading condition in inc/animations.php to all six phase page slugs instead of just "discover" - Update phase-journey-nav.php's docblock reference from discover-hero.php to phase-hero.php - Update the Discover page's live pattern references and classnames to the new slugs Build output - Regenerate assets/css/phase-hero.css, remove stale assets/css/discover-hero.css Context - Content (Discover-specific copy/colours) still needs to be pulled into Pattern Overrides before reuse on the other five phase pages — noted in each pattern's own docblock as follow-up work
Bug fix - Fix "Attempt Recovery" warnings in the editor on the nav bar and all six step items - Nav bar: outer style attribute was missing padding-top/padding-bottom, and property order didn't match WordPress's own serializer - Step items: the --ls-phase-item-accent custom property was injected as a raw inline style with no equivalent in core/group's declared style schema, so WordPress could never reconstruct it when re-parsing the block Fix - Correct the nav bar's inline style to include all four padding sides in WordPress's expected property order - Move the accent colour out of inline style into six new per-phase modifier classes (ls-phase-journey-nav__step--discover, --create, --build, --launch, --grow, --evolve), each setting --ls-phase-item-accent from phase-journey-nav.scss instead - Rebuild assets/css/phase-journey-nav.css Verification - Confirmed zero invalid blocks across the whole nav tree via the live editor's block-editor store, on all six phase pages - Confirmed active-state highlighting and accent colours still render correctly on the front end
Layout & background - Reduce section top/bottom padding for a more compact stats band - Switch background from surface.canvas to surface.card for a softer, lifted dark panel tone instead of flat black - Remove top/bottom margin so the section sits flush against the Journey Phases nav above it Dividers - Remove the redundant full-column-height divider; rely on the existing stat-segment style's own trailing divider instead, so it hugs the stat content's height - Cancel the divider on the last column so the row doesn't end with a stray trailing edge - Vertically centre each column so the shorter dividers sit centred in the row Typography & spacing - Constrain description text to a max-width so wrapping matches the reference - Set both the stat heading and description to the 16px font size token - Tighten line-height/letter-spacing on the stat heading - Replace doubled margin+gap spacing with a single blockGap value for a consistent, tighter rhythm between number, heading and description - Mute the description colour from text.muted to text.subtle Context - Discover page's stat number colour was separately overridden to the Discover phase colour, directly on that page's own content rather than in this shared pattern file, since it should not apply to the other five phase pages

Inline comments:
Review comments at @inc/animations.php:
- Around line 288-290: Update the stylesheet-loading logic around the condition
and render-marker map so phase-hero.css loads whenever the phase-hero pattern is
present, including on pages outside the six listed slugs. Add a phase-hero
render marker or reuse an existing presence-based loading path; preserve the
current loading behavior on those six pages.
Review comments at @inc/phase-page-redirects.php:
- Around line 37-38: Update the redirect condition around `$ls_target instanceof
WP_Post` to issue the 301 only when `$ls_target->post_status` is `publish`; do
not redirect for draft, private, or other unpublished phase pages.
Review comments at @patterns/sections/phase-introduction.php:
- Around line 34-35: Change both column headings in the phase-introduction
pattern from level 3 to level 2, updating the block heading attributes and HTML
heading tags together to preserve correct heading hierarchy.
Review comments at @patterns/sections/phase-journey-nav.php:
- Line 113: Update the link in the phase journey navigation to output
aria-current="page" only when $ls_is_active is true, leaving the attribute off
inactive links.
- Line 88: Update the opening core/group comment in the phase journey navigation
pattern to include an ariaLabel attribute matching the translated label used by
the saved nav’s aria-label. Keep the serialized block attribute and escaped HTML
attribute identical so WordPress can reconstruct the wrapper.
Review comments at @src/scss/animations/_button-motion.scss:
- Around line 268-274: Update the transition on
`.wp-block-button.is-style-button-phase-outline .wp-block-button__link::before`
to animate `transform` and `opacity` instead of `width` and `height`. Use a
fixed-size circle whose scale reveals the outline, and preserve the existing
reduced-motion override.
Review comments at @src/scss/structural/button-phase.scss:
- Around line 58-60: Update the outline button hover reveal in the
`.wp-block-button.is-style-button-phase-outline:hover
.wp-block-button__link::before` rule to size the circle from the button’s
dimensions rather than using a fixed 300px diameter, ensuring it covers the
entire button, including its corners.
Review comments at @src/scss/structural/phase-journey-nav.scss:
- Line 108: Replace the literal 781px media query in the phase journey
navigation styles with the shared columns-stack breakpoint mixin, and update the
compiled phase-journey-nav.css to match.
- Around line 60-62: Update the inactive-link color rule for
.ls-phase-journey-nav__step so it uses the full
--wp--custom--color--text--on-dark-muted token instead of mixing it with
transparency, meeting the 4.5:1 contrast target.

Summary
Builds the foundational scaffold for the Discover lifecycle-phase page: a full-bleed dark hero, the reusable six-phase Journey Phases navigation bar, a 3-stat delivery-numbers row, and a two-column introduction section. These four patterns are written to be reused unchanged across the future Create/Build/Launch/Grow/Evolve phase pages, not Discover-specific — the patterns and their PHP variables/classes were renamed from their original
discover-*naming tophase-*partway through this branch once that reuse requirement was confirmed.Patterns
patterns/hero/phase-hero.php— breadcrumb, phase badge, heading, CTAs, "Send to a friend" share pill, grid texture + radial phase-glow backgroundpatterns/sections/phase-journey-nav.php— six-phase nav bar that auto-detects the active phase by page slug; includes a bug fix so the active-state highlighting survives this section being flattened into a page's stored content, and per-phase modifier classes (ls-phase-journey-nav__step--discover, etc.) instead of an inline custom property, after the original approach failed WordPress's block-validation re-parsepatterns/sections/phase-delivery-numbers.php— 3-stat row reusing the existingis-style-stat-segmentstylepatterns/sections/phase-introduction.php— two-column intro text sectionNew button styles
styles/blocks/buttons/button-phase-primary.json/button-phase-outline.json— dedicated pill CTA styles for phase-page heroes, since the sitewide button colours flip with the site's light/dark style variation but these heroes are permanently dark_button-motion.scss, then split intobutton-phase.scss(shape/colour) once non-motion values were found to have drifted into the animations-only file, per this repo's own AGENTS.md constraint on that file's contentsTokens
custom.color.phase.discover-on-dark(theme.json + styles/dark.json) —phase.discoveris too dark to read against the hero's permanently-dark backgroundcustom.line-height.heading-tight(styles/presets/typography.json)Routing fix
inc/phase-page-redirects.php: the nav's phase links (/discover/,/create/, etc.) needed to point at their real nested paths under/services/; this redirects the bare slugs before WordPress's own fuzzy 404-matcher can send a visitor to an unrelated, similarly-named page (e.g. "discover" resolving to "discovery")Investigated but not changed here
Scope and exclusions
This is the first of a 2-PR stack splitting a single oversized branch (46 files against
develop) into reviewable layers. This PR covers only the original page scaffold (hero, nav, stats, introduction). The remaining shared section patterns (Common Services, Services In Phase, Support Focus, Deliverables And Role, CTA, FAQ, Where To Go Next) and their fixes are in the follow-up PR, based on this branch.assets/css/animations.css,assets/css/button-phase.css,assets/css/phase-hero.css, andassets/css/phase-journey-nav.cssare Sass-compiled build output, not hand-authored, and are excluded from the reviewable diff (17 files / ~886 lines reviewable). This is slightly over the ~15-file/~400-line preferred review budget for a single PR; splitting it further wasn't practical without breaking a pattern's own build/history across two PRs.Screenshots/video
Not included — this PR was assembled by splitting an existing, already-merged-locally branch for review purposes rather than as new visual work; the underlying patterns have already been visually verified in-browser across desktop/tablet/mobile during development (see commit messages for specifics per pattern).
Accessibility notes
phase-journey-nav.php's active-state fix was verified to produce zero invalid blocks and correct active-state/accent rendering across all six phase-page slugs. No other accessibility-specific work in this layer beyond what's noted per pattern above.Stack
