Additional Forbidden Patterns

- ❌ Missing cursor:pointer — All clickable elements must have cursor:pointer

- ❌ Low contrast text — Maintain 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio
- ❌ Instant state changes — Always use transitions (150-300ms)
- ❌ Invisible focus states — Focus states must be visible for a11y
