Task

Continue the Penpot design-system work: build the Accordion component from templates/components/accordion.html.tmpl, following the Button's pattern from the previous session.

A false alarm, resolved

Mid-build, token resolution appeared to produce scrambled/wrong values - including for the already-verified-correct Button component, which seemed to indicate live corruption. Paused and reported rather than continuing to build on top of it. Turned out to be a non-issue: the user had switched Penpot's active theme from Light to Dark while reviewing in the UI. Verified by checking the "wrong" values against the actual Dark-theme semantic mapping - every one matched exactly (color.accent → base.800 → #242237, color.foreground → base.200 → #E6E7F3, etc.). The token system was working correctly the whole time; the check was just comparing Dark output against Light expectations. Switched back to Light (lightTheme.toggleActive()) and confirmed the Button's Default fill was #ffffff again before continuing. No actual reversal was needed - nothing was broken.

What was built

Accordion component (from accordion.html.tmpl), as a Penpot Variant group (State: Closed/Open), built fresh per-state (not cloned, per the lesson from the Button session) and entirely from the existing token system:

Closed: just the summary bar - color.accent background, rounded-lg, header text left / + indicator right (Alexandria 700, 2em). No outer background, matching the template (bg-card only applies when open).
Open: the same summary bar (indicator now −) plus an expanded body area below, both wrapped in an outer container using color.card background and rounded-lg - matching open:bg-card applying to the outer <details>, with the body's p-[1em] padding around placeholder body text.

Verification

Both states exported and visually inspected individually before combining - correct token-driven colors, correct layout (row-fill summary bar, centered/padded body).
Variant group verified: isVariantContainer() true, State property with Closed/Open values, no variantError on either.
Final combined export confirms both states render correctly together.

Follow-ups / not done here

TutorialTooltip (templates/components/tutorial-tooltip.html.tmpl) is the last of the three components surveyed at the start of this work - not yet built.
