💡 What

  • Replaced the blocking alert('Blueprint saved!') in VABEditor with inline text/class modifications on the save button.
  • Added :hover states for .vab-save-btn and .vab-cancel-btn in public/style.css.
  • Added a .success state for the save button to temporarily turn green and display "Saved!".

🎯 Why

  • Blocking alert dialogs disrupt the user's flow and provide a jarring, unpolished experience.
  • The save button was missing standard interaction cues like hover states, making the UI feel unresponsive.
  • Temporary inline feedback keeps the user in context while confirming their action succeeded.

📸 Before/After

Before: Clicking "Save" popped up a browser-native alert dialog "Blueprint saved!" that completely blocked the UI. Buttons had no visual response on hover.
After: Clicking "Save" immediately changes the button text to "Saved!", turns the background green for 2 seconds, and gracefully transitions back. Buttons now subtly lighten on hover.

♿ Accessibility

  • Added aria-live="polite" to the save button during the success state so screen readers will automatically announce "Saved!" without needing an alert dialog. The attribute is dynamically added and removed after the 2 second duration.
  • Maintains keyboard operability and preserves correct ARIA states during the transition.

Replaces the blocking `alert('Blueprint saved!')` in VABEditor with inline success feedback on the save button itself, adding proper hover states and success states.
