Minor Changes

• #811 6331ae61 Thanks @rezrah! - River and SectionIntro link colors now default to blue (accent) for consistency with Card, Pillar and similar components that feature blue links.

  ⚠️ This is a visual breaking change. Please manually review all usages of River and SectionIntro to ensure there is sufficient contrast with the background color.

Smoke test results

• Breaking change: Removed all Card-icon-background/color tokens 🟢

  • x2 regressions observed in dotcom

  • Copilot Extensions

    Before	After

    Will need Brand Eng to remediate. cc. @raytalks
    Size discrepancy fixable by adding size="medium here

  • Copilot page

    Before	After

    Will need Brand Eng to remediate. cc. @raytalks
    Fixable by updating this line, which is using a deprecated CSS variable.

    -   background-color: var(--brand-Card-icon-background-purple);
    +   background-color: var(--base-color-scale-purple-8);

• River and SectionIntro link colors now default to blue 🟢

  Links without additional overrides now default to blue as expected. On many pages however, overrides prevent the link color from changing. This will need to be updated on case-by-case basis.

• Updated Link underline to fill entire width 🟢

• Updated the Card.Icon internal implementation to use the new Icon component 🟢

• Disabled all transitions and auto-staggering when reduced-motion user preference is enabled 🟢

• Added new background customization options to CTABanner 🔴

  Blocking regression on all CTA banner instances where a default color isn't specified

  

  Fallback value is not registering, due to malformed css in bundled output.

  

  Will require an investigation and hotfix ⚠️

Release testing status: Not ready for release 🔴
