TealHQ / Cloudflare Verification Design System

Overview

This design system documents the visual language of a Cloudflare-managed security verification challenge page, as presented on the tealhq.com domain. The aesthetic is deliberately austere and functional—a stark white canvas ({colors.canvas}) carrying near-black system-rendered type ({colors.ink}), with the only brand voltage appearing in the traditional web-blue link color ({colors.primary}). This is not a marketing surface; it is an interim state, a gatekeeper moment where clarity and trust-signaling matter more than visual flourish.

The page centers its entire payload in the viewport, both vertically and horizontally, creating a meditative focal point: the domain name in large semibold type, a subtitle announcing the security action, a concise explanatory paragraph, and then the Cloudflare Turnstile widget—the only interactive element and the visual heart of the composition. Below, a minimal footer carries the Ray ID (in monospace) and two utility links. The overall mood is institutional reassurance: something is happening automatically to protect you, please wait.

The single typography move that defines this system is its reliance on the native system font stack at standard weights—no custom webfonts, no variable font gymnastics, just the browser's fastest-rendering typeface at {typography.display-xl} (40px/600) for the domain heading and {typography.body-md} (16px/400) for everything else. Shape language is restrained: the widget carries a modest {rounded.md} radius, and nothing else rounds visibly. This is a system that trusts whitespace ({spacing.section} of 240px above the content block) more than decoration.

Key Characteristics

  • Pure white {colors.canvas} background with zero gradient or texture layering
  • Near-black {colors.ink} (#313131) for all body and heading text—never pure black
  • Classic web blue {colors.primary} (#0000ee) reserved exclusively for interactive links
  • System font stack rendered at 40px/600 for the domain heading ({typography.display-xl})
  • 240px top margin ({spacing.section}) pushing content into the lower-center viewport
  • Cloudflare widget on {colors.surface} (#f9f9f9) with {rounded.md} corners and soft shadow
  • Monospace {typography.mono} (13px) reserved for the Ray ID technical identifier
  • Vertical spacing rhythm of 8px, 16px, 32px, 128px, 240px ({spacing.xs} through {spacing.section})
  • Zero custom icon library—all indicators are inline SVG or CSS-animated primitives

Colors

Brand & Accent

  • Primary ({colors.primary} — #0000ee): Classic web blue used for all interactive links (Cloudflare, Privacy) and as the sole brand-accent color on the page.
  • Primary Active ({colors.primary-active} — #0000cc): Darkened blue for visited or active link states; inferred from standard browser behavior.

Surface

  • Canvas ({colors.canvas} — #ffffff): Pure white background covering the entire viewport; the ground plane for all content.
  • Surface ({colors.surface} — #f9f9f9): Off-white/light gray used as the Cloudflare widget container background, creating subtle elevation distinction from the canvas.
  • Surface Elevated ({colors.surface-elevated} — #f0f0f0): Medium gray for potential hover or pressed states on widget surfaces; not actively observed but included for completeness.

Text

  • Ink ({colors.ink} — #313131): Primary text color for headings (h1, h2), body paragraphs, and the domain display—dark enough for readability, softer than #000000.
  • Body ({colors.body} — #313131): Identical to ink in this system; all prose shares the same near-black value.
  • Muted ({colors.muted} — #595959): Medium gray for secondary text such as the "Verifying..." label inside the widget and less-emphasized UI copy.
  • Muted Soft ({colors.muted-soft} — #777777): Light gray for tertiary/footer text like the Ray ID prefix and performance attribution line.
  • On Primary ({colors.on-primary} — #ffffff): White text for rendering atop the {colors.primary} blue or any dark backgrounds; satisfies AA contrast requirements.

Hairlines & Borders

  • Hairline ({colors.hairline} — #d9d9d9): Light gray divider lines; used for the footer top-border separator.
  • Hairline Soft ({colors.hairline-soft} — #eaeaea): Very light gray for subtle internal borders within the widget or form fields.
  • Border Strong ({colors.border-strong} — #bfbfbf): Medium-gray borders for focused or active input states.

Semantic

  • Error ({colors.error} — #d32f2f): Red for the noscript warning background, signaling JavaScript-disabled blocking state.
  • Success ({colors.success} — #388e3c): Green reserved for post-verification success states (not visible in screenshot but standard for Cloudflare challenges).

Typography

Font Family

The system uses the complete native system font stack as its sole typeface family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, plus emoji sub-families. This choice prioritizes instant rendering (no layout shift from webfont loading), native OS integration, and the familiar, neutral voice of default browser typography. A secondary monospace family is invoked exclusively for the Ray ID technical identifier. There are no proprietary fonts (Söhne, Cereal, etc.)—this is intentionally unbranded, infrastructure-level design.

Hierarchy

| Token | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Use | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | {typography.display-xl} | 40px | 600 | 1.25 | normal | Domain name heading (www.tealhq.com) | | {typography.display-lg} | 40px | 600 | 1.25 | normal | Alias for display-xl | | {typography.title-md} | 24px | 600 | 1.25 | normal | "Performing security verification" subtitle | | {typography.body-md} | 16px | 400 | 1.5 | normal | Explanatory paragraph, widget text | | {typography.body-sm} | 14px | 400 | 1.5 | normal | Widget "Verifying..." label, footer links | | {typography.caption} | 13px | 400 | 1.46 | normal | Fine print, metadata | | {typography.mono} | 13px | 400 | 1.46 | normal | Ray ID alphanumeric string | | {typography.button} | 14px | 500 | 1.4 | normal | Button text inside widget (implied) |

Principles

This typographic system achieves hierarchy almost entirely through size and weight differentiation, with zero reliance on color variation for text emphasis (all text is {colors.ink} except links). The domain heading at {typography.display-xl} (40px) commands attention through scale alone, while the verification title at {typography.title-md} (24px) provides clear structural separation from the body paragraph at {typography.body-md} (16px). Weight stays within a narrow band: 600 for headings, 400 for everything else—there is no 700/bold, no 300/light. Line heights are generous (1.25–1.5) to support readability during the brief but anxious waiting period this page represents.

Letter spacing remains normal (effectively 0) throughout, reinforcing the unstyled, native-browser aesthetic. The mono face at 13px is the sole typographic departure, signaling technical/machine-readable content (the Ray ID) distinctly from human-facing prose.

Note on Font Substitutes

No substitution is needed—this system explicitly uses the cross-platform system font stack, which requires no webfont loading, no Google Fonts import, and no fallback strategy beyond what the stack already provides. If implementing this in a context where system-ui feels too generic, the closest Google Fonts equivalent would be Inter (for the sans-serif roles) and JetBrains Mono or Source Code Pro (for the mono role), though doing so would depart from the spec's intent of zero-custom-typography.

Layout

Spacing System

  • Base unit: 8px (powers the sm token), with 2px (xxs) and 4px (xs) for micro-adjustments.
  • Tokens: {spacing.xxs} (2px — micro-gaps), {spacing.xs} (4px — inline element gaps), {spacing.sm} (8px — tight component internal spacing), {spacing.md} (16px — standard padding between related elements), {spacing.lg} (32px — major section breaks, widget internal padding), {spacing.xl} (128px — large viewport margins), {spacing.section} (240px — hero/content top offset).
  • Section padding (vertical): {spacing.section} (240px) — applied above the main content block to push the verification interface into the lower-center of the viewport, creating a "landing" visual effect.
  • Card internal padding: The {component.cloudflare-widget} uses 24px 32px literal padding (compound value).
  • Gutters: Horizontal gutters are {spacing.md} (16px) on each side of the main wrapper, keeping content comfortably inset from viewport edges.

Grid & Container

The layout is fundamentally single-column and center-aligned with no multi-column grid. Content max-width appears unconstrained (or very wide, likely 90-100% of viewport), relying on the browser's natural text line-length for readability. This is not an editorial grid system—it is a centered block flow: domain heading → title → paragraph → spacer → widget → footer. At desktop widths, the content column occupies roughly 60-70% of viewport width, centered.

Whitespace Philosophy

Whitespace is the dominant design element here. The 240px top margin ({spacing.section}) creates a vast expanse of empty {colors.canvas} above the content, forcing the eye downward to the verification interface. Intra-element spacing uses {spacing.lg} (32px) between the paragraph and widget, and {spacing.md} (16px) between heading/title/body. The system refuses density—every element breathes, reinforcing the "please wait, nothing is broken" message through visual calm.

Header Architecture

There is no navigation header on this page. The layout begins directly with the domain heading as the first visible element below the massive top margin.

+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Hero Section

The "hero" is the entire main content area: domain heading as H1, verification title as H2, explanatory paragraph, and the Cloudflare widget as the call-to-action surrogate. No illustration column, no stat labels, no dual-column layout—pure vertical stack centered horizontally.

Footer Section

A minimal footer separated from content by a {colors.hairline} horizontal rule. Contains the Ray ID in {typography.mono}, an attribution line, and two links (Cloudflare, Privacy) in {colors.primary}.

Elevation & Depth

| Level | Treatment | Use | |---|---|---| | 0 (Flat) | None, {colors.canvas} direct | Page background, all text elements | | 1 (Widget) | {extensions.shadows.widget} (0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)) + {colors.surface} bg | Cloudflare Turnstile widget card | | 2 (Overlay) | Not observed | Potential modal/error overlay (noscript warning) | | Focus ring | 2px solid {colors.border-strong} outline | Implied for keyboard focus on interactive elements |

The elevation philosophy is nearly flat-by-default. The only elevated surface is the Cloudflare widget, which gains a subtle drop shadow and a one-step-lighter background ({colors.surface}) to lift it from the canvas. Shadows are neutral-toned (no cool/warm tint) and minimal in spread. There is no decorative depth—no gradient washes, no pattern overlays, no photographic layering. The page's depth vocabulary is: flat canvas, one floating widget card, done.

Decorative Depth

None present. The design rejects all decorative depth techniques in favor of brutalist clarity.

Shapes

Border Radius Scale

| Token | Value | Use | |---|---|---| | {rounded.sm} | 2px | Noscript warning box corners | | {rounded.DEFAULT} | 4px | Default/radius for any unnamed component | | {rounded.md} | 6px | Cloudflare widget card corners | | {rounded.lg} | 8px | Reserved for larger cards (not actively used) | | {rounded.xl} | 12px | Reserved (not actively used) | | {rounded.pill} | 9999px | Reserved for pills/badges (not actively used) |

The shape language is sharply rectilinear. Only the widget card carries visible rounding ({rounded.md} = 6px); every other element (headings, paragraphs, footer, links) is strictly sharp-cornered. This reinforces the infrastructural, non-decorative nature of the page.

Photography Geometry

No photography present on this page. All visual elements are typographic or constructed (CSS/SVG widget).

Components

No hover states documented. Hover behavior is unreliable to extract from a single screenshot. State variants live as separate entries in the components: frontmatter (e.g. {component.text-link-active}); add hover styling at implementation time per your stack's conventions.

Core Page Structure

{component.main-wrapper} — The outermost content container spanning full viewport width. Background {colors.canvas}, text {colors.ink}, type {typography.body-md}. Padding is {spacing.section} (240px) vertically and {spacing.md} (16px) horizontally, creating the signature top-heavy whitespace. This wrapper centers all child content.

{component.domain-heading} — The H1 element displaying "www.tealhq.com". Uses {typography.display-xl} (40px/600) in {colors.ink} on {colors.canvas}. This is the largest type on the page and serves as the primary visual anchor. No underline, no link styling—it is presentational text indicating which domain is being verified.

{component.verification-title} — The H2 element reading "Performing security verification". Rendered in {typography.title-md} (24px/600), {colors.ink} on {colors.canvas}. Provides clear hierarchical separation from the domain heading above and the explanation paragraph below.

{component.verification-body} — The paragraph beginning "This website uses a security service...". Set in {typography.body-md} (16px/400), {colors.ink}, with {typography.body-md} line-height (1.5) for readability. This is the only prose block explaining the situation to the user.

Interactive Elements

{component.cloudflare-widget} — The Cloudflare Turnstile verification widget—the sole interactive component. Background {colors.surface} (#f9f9f9), rounded {rounded.md} (6px), padding 24px 32px, with {extensions.shadows.widget} (0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)) creating gentle elevation. Contains a spinning loader indicator ({component.widget-spinner}), the "Verifying..." label ({component.widget-label}), and the Cloudflare logo mark. This is the visual and interaction focal point of the entire page.

{component.widget-spinner} — The animated loading indicator inside the widget (a circle of dots or rotating graphic). Size approximately 32px, colored in {colors.muted}. Animates via the spin and/or dots keyframes detected in the CSS. Signals ongoing asynchronous verification.

{component.widget-label} — The "Verifying..." text adjacent to the spinner. Uses {typography.body-sm} (14px/400) in {colors.muted}, providing status feedback without competing with the spinner for attention.

{component.text-link} — Standard inline hyperlink (Cloudflare, Privacy in footer). Text color {colors.primary} (#0000ee), standard underline behavior, {typography.body-sm} or {typography.body-md} depending on context. These are the only elements carrying brand-color text on the page.

{component.text-link-active} — Active/visited state for links. Text color shifts to {colors.primary-active} (#0000cc). Implement per-stack conventions for :active and :visited pseudo-classes.

Footer & Metadata

{component.footer} — The bottom page footer area. Background {colors.canvas}, text {colors.muted-soft}, typography {typography.body-sm}. Separated from main content by a {colors.hairline} top border. Padding {spacing.lg} (32px) vertical, {spacing.md} (16px) horizontal. Contains the Ray ID line, attribution text, and utility links.

{component.footer-link} — Links within the footer (Cloudflare brand link, Privacy policy). Same treatment as {component.text-link} but scoped to footer context, using {typography.body-sm} size.

{component.ray-id} — The technical identifier string "Ray ID: a4e6c1d9784492a0". Rendered in {typography.mono} (13px monospace), color {colors.muted-soft}. Signals to technical users/support that this is a machine-readable reference for debugging.

Error & Edge Cases

{component.noscript-warning} — The error message shown when JavaScript is disabled. Background {colors.error} (red), text {colors.on-primary} (white), rounded {rounded.sm} (2px), padding {spacing.md} (16px). Typically hidden via CSS unless <noscript> block renders. Critical accessibility fallback.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

  • Do use the system font stack exactly as specified—no webfont imports, no Google Fonts, no variable fonts. The speed and native feel are intentional.
  • Do maintain the 240px ({spacing.section}) top margin above the content block; this vertical breathing room is the page's dominant spatial characteristic.
  • Do reserve {colors.primary} (#0000ee) exclusively for interactive links; never use it for static text or decorative elements.
  • Do render the Cloudflare widget with {colors.surface} background, {rounded.md} corners, and {extensions.shadows.widget} shadow—it should float subtly above the canvas.
  • Do set the domain heading in {typography.display-xl} (40px/600) and the verification title in {typography.title-md} (24px/600)—these weights are semibold, not bold.
  • Do use {typography.mono} (13px) for the Ray ID and any other technical identifiers; this is the sole monospace usage.
  • Do keep all body text at {colors.ink} (#313131)—never use pure black (#000000) for readability and warmth.
  • Do include the {component.noscript-warning} component hidden by default, shown only when JavaScript is unavailable.
  • Do separate the footer from content with a {colors.hairline} (#d9d9d9) horizontal rule spanning the content width.
  • Do keep the layout single-column and center-aligned; there is no sidebar, no rail, no grid.

Don't

  • Don't add gradients, patterns, or textures to the {colors.canvas} background—the page is intentionally stark white.
  • Don't round corners on headings, paragraphs, or the footer; only the {component.cloudflare-widget} carries visible border-radius.
  • Don't substitute {colors.primary} for {colors.ink} in any text context—blue is reserved for clicks.
  • Don't introduce a navigation header, logo mark, or branding beyond the domain name text and Cloudflare widget.
  • Don't compress the top margin below {spacing.section} (240px)—the whitespace is a feature, not wasted space.
  • Don't change the link color to anything other than classic web blue (#0000ee/#0000ee); this is a deliberate retro-web aesthetic choice.
  • Don't add shadows to any element besides the Cloudflare widget; the rest of the page lives at elevation level 0.
  • Don't use font weights outside the 400/600 range—no light (300), no bold (700), no black (900).
  • Don't implement multi-column layouts, sidebars, or sticky elements; this is a single-flow, single-purpose page.
  • Don't omit the Ray ID line—it's critical for support debugging even if most users ignore it.

Motion & Animation

Transition Tokens

--transition-all: all 300ms ease;

The extracted CSS indicates a single generic all transition with 300ms duration and ease timing function. This is applied broadly to any state changes (widget completion, error appearance, focus shifts).

Keyframe Animations

  • spin — Continuous 360° rotation for the widget loading indicator (spinner).
  • scale — Scale transform (0→1 or 1→0) for widget entrance/exit.
  • stroke — SVG stroke-dashoffset animation for drawn-line effects (potential success checkmark).
  • scale-up-center — Center-origin scale-up for success badge reveal.
  • success-badge-orbit-in — Orbital entrance animation for the success state badge.
  • success-orbit-resolve — Orbit settling animation upon successful verification.
  • failure-orbit-break — Orbital break animation for failure states.
  • failure-badge-settle — Error badge drop-into-place animation.
  • failure-mark-rise — Error mark (X) draw-on animation.
  • unspin — Counter-rotation to reset spinner orientation.
  • dots — Sequential dot opacity pulse for alternative loading indicator.
  • lds-ring — Ring-based loading spinner (double-ring variant).
  • fade-in — Opacity 0→1 transition for content reveal.

Interaction Patterns

  • The widget spinner rotates continuously (spin keyframe) while verification is pending, providing clear "working" feedback.
  • Upon successful verification, the widget transitions to a success state via scale-up-center → success-badge-orbit-in → success-orbit-resolve sequence, revealing a green checkmark.
  • On failure or timeout, failure-orbit-break → failure-badge-settle → failure-mark-rise triggers, showing a red X mark.
  • The noscript warning fades in (fade-in) if JavaScript execution is blocked.
  • All animations run at approximately 300ms ({extensions.motion.duration}) with ease ({extensions.motion.easing}) timing—subtle, not theatrical.
  • Focus rings appear as 2px {colors.border-strong} outlines on keyboard-navigable elements (links, widget).

Imagery Style

  • Type: No photography, illustration, 3D renders, or gradient graphics on this page. The visual vocabulary is 100% typographic and geometric.
  • Brand imagery: The Cloudflare logo mark (orange cloud + wordmark) inside the widget is the only branded image asset—an inline SVG or referenced image file.
  • Decorative imagery: Absent. No hero illustrations, no abstract shapes, no background patterns.
  • Imagery role: Non-existent. This page communicates entirely through text, layout, and one animated widget. Any imagery would undermine the serious, functional tone of a security checkpoint.
  • Future consideration: If extending this system to the actual tealhq.com site (post-verification), imagery decisions would belong to that brand's design system, not this challenge-page specification.

Icon System

  • Library: Custom SVG (Cloudflare proprietary widgets). No open-source icon library (Lucide, Heroicons, Material) detected.
  • Specific icons observed:
    • Cloudflare logo mark (orange cloud/rainbow arc shape + "CLOUDFLARE" wordmark)
    • Spinner/loading indicator (animated dots or rotating ring—implementation varies by widget version)
    • Success checkmark (post-verification, green)
    • Failure X mark (on error, red)
    • Privacy link icon (if present—often a small lock or shield, though not clearly visible in extraction)
  • Treatment: Icons inside the widget are likely inline SVG with currentColor or explicit fill colors matching {colors.muted} (spinner), {colors.success} (checkmark), or {colors.error} (X mark). The Cloudflare logo uses its brand orange (#f48120 typically, though not extracted in this page's CSS).
  • Size: Spinner approximately 32px×32px; Cloudflare logo approximately 80-100px wide (wordmark); checkmark/X approximately 24-32px.
  • Alignment: Icons are vertically center-aligned with adjacent text ("Verifying..." label sits beside the spinner at baseline-middle).

- Fonts:          System font stack only (no external requests)
- Animation:      CSS Keyframes + JS-driven class toggles for widget state
- Icons:          Inline SVG (Cloudflare widget self-renders; custom SVGs for any additions)
- Component lib:  None (the widget is an iframe/embed from Cloudflare)

Responsive Behavior

Breakpoints

| Name | Width | Key Changes | |---|---|---| | Mobile | < 640px | Full-width content, reduced {spacing.section} top margin (likely 120-160px), widget fills available width | | Tablet | 640-1024px | Moderate padding reduction, content width ~80% | | Desktop | > 1024px | As-designed: 240px top margin, centered ~60-70% width column | | Wide | > 1440px | Max-width cap may apply (~1200px content) to prevent over-stretching |

Touch Targets

  • {component.text-link} / {component.footer-link}: Text-only links with no explicit padding; touch target relies on font size (14px) plus natural letter spacing—may fall short of WCAG AAA 44×44px recommendation. Consider adding invisible padding for mobile.
  • {component.cloudflare-widget}: The widget iframe/button is typically 300×65px or similar—exceeds 44×44 minimum comfortably.
  • Spinner area: Approximately 32×32px—technically under 44px but acceptable as a non-interactive status indicator.

Collapsing Strategy

  • Nav: None exists; no collapse needed.
  • Hero/content column: Remains single-column at all breakpoints; only horizontal padding adjusts ({spacing.md} may reduce to {spacing.sm} on mobile).
  • Top margin ({spacing.section}): Likely reduces from 240px to ~120-160px on mobile to avoid pushing content below the fold.
  • Widget: Maintains full functionality; Cloudflare's embed handles its own responsive resizing (width: 100%, max-width: ~300-400px).
  • Footer: Stays single-line or wraps gracefully; Ray ID may wrap to its own line on narrow screens (< 360px).

Image Behavior

Not applicable—no images on this page. The Cloudflare logo inside the widget is handled by Cloudflare's embedded code and scales responsively within its container.

Iteration Guide

  1. Build a single-page HTML document replicating this verification challenge layout. Use vanilla HTML/CSS/JS or integrate into your existing framework (Next.js, Astro, etc.)—the spec is framework-agnostic.
  2. Pull every color, font, radius, and spacing value from the YAML frontmatter via the {section.token} paths. Never hard-code a value that has a token. For example, write padding: var(--spacing-section) or your framework's equivalent, not padding: 240px.
  3. Implement the Cloudflare Turnstile widget via their official embed script (it renders as an iframe—you cannot fully recreate it with custom CSS; this spec documents its visual container only).
  4. Add the noscript warning component ({component.noscript-warning}) hidden by default, shown only inside a <noscript> tag or via JS detection of disabled scripting.
  5. When adding state variants (link hover, widget success/failure), create separate CSS classes or frontmatter entries per the spec's pattern: {component.text-link-active}, {component.cloudflare-widget-success}, etc.—never nest states inside a single rule.
  6. Run npx @google/design.md lint DESIGN.md after any edits—broken-ref, contrast-ratio, and orphaned-tokens warnings will catch missing tokens or invalid references.
  7. When in doubt about emphasis: trust size over weight (40px vs. 24px does more than 600 vs. 700), trust whitespace over borders (the 240px top margin is the strongest visual signal on this page), and trust the system font stack over any webfont import.
  8. Preserve the exact hex values: {colors.ink} is #313131 (not #333333 or #222222), {colors.primary} is #0000ee (classic blue, not a modern reinterpreted blue). These values carry intent.
  9. Test the noscript path explicitly—disable JavaScript in your browser and verify the red warning box ({component.noscript-warning}) renders correctly with white text on red background.
  10. Keep the footer minimal: Ray ID in mono, attribution in small gray, two links in blue. Resist adding social icons, copyright notices, or additional navigation.

Font Setup: No font setup required—the system uses the browser-native font stack defined in each {typography.*} token's fontFamily value. If you must substitute (e.g., for a design-system demo), map the sans-serif roles to Inter (Google Fonts: @import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;600&display=swap');) and the mono role to JetBrains Mono (@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400&display=swap');). Define CSS variables: --font-sans: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif; --font-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', monospace;.

Known Gaps

  • Hover state styling: Per the no-hover policy, hover colors/shadows for links and the widget are not documented. Implement :hover pseudoclasses following standard web conventions (link underline appearance, widget shadow deepening).
  • Widget success/failure states: The CSS extracts keyframes for success and failure animations (success-badge-orbit-in, failure-mark-rise, etc.), but the complete visual specification of these states (exact colors, iconography, layout changes post-verification) cannot be determined from a single "pending" screenshot.
  • Cloudflare widget internals: The widget is an iframe-rendered component whose DOM and styles are opaque to page-level extraction. This spec documents its container ({component.cloudflare-widget}) only, not its internal button, checkbox, or branding layout.
  • Loading skeleton/progress bar: Not present on this page, but a real implementation might want a progress indicator beyond the spinner. No tokens exist for progress bars or skeletons.
  • Form validation states: Beyond the noscript warning, no form validation (empty field, invalid input) styling is applicable here—this page has no user-input forms.
  • Authenticated/post-verification page: This spec covers only the challenge/interstitial page. The actual tealhq.com site content (post-verification) is unknown and likely follows an entirely different design system.
  • Dark mode: The extensions.mode is light and the page has no dark mode toggle or media-query detection. A dark variant would require inventing tokens not present in the source.
  • Accessibility (a11y) specifics: While semantic HTML structure is implied, ARIA labels, focus management, and screen-reader announcements for the live verification status are not extractable from static CSS. Implement aria-live="polite" on the widget region and proper focus trapping.
  • Pixel-exact widget dimensions: The Cloudflare widget's internal width/height (typically ~300×65px for the compact widget) is inferred, not measured from DOM-computed styles, as the widget content loads dynamically.
