If you are reviewing a CMS Design System pattern (for example, Forms or the 404 Page), refer to:

references/pattern-guide.md

If you are reviewing the CMS Design System Article Page layout, refer to:

references/layout-guide.md

If you are reviewing foundational design guidance, such as typography, spacing, or layout grid, refer to:

references/foundation-guide.md

For general CMS Design System accessibility guidance—including supported WCAG conformance, accessibility principles, and links to Section 508 resources—refer to:
