Magnetic Dock

A contained application dock whose items enlarge by pointer proximity, reveal compact labels and settle through a damped active indicator.

• Product navigation
• Account flows
• Application shells

• Pointer proximity affects neighboring items continuously
• Roving keyboard focus mirrors the active indicator
• Labels, icons and hit areas remain independent
• A component-specific renderer and control contract—not a palette swap of another release
• Semantic controls, visible focus and keyboard navigation ship with the visual system

No animation package or external preview asset is required. Layout is container-scoped and decorative motion is disabled when reduced motion is requested.

Pointer, touch, horizontal trackpad and keyboard states use the same underlying component state.

Native landmarks and controls preserve reading order, visible focus and keyboard access. Motion never carries the only meaning.
