Comment with an explanation referencing the relevant API documentation. +- **Third-party issue:** If the root cause is in Angular, the browser, or another dependency, set `status: third-party-issue`. Document the external cause in the issue. +- **Fix requires a breaking change:** Follow the breaking-change process in step 6. Do not merge without a migration schematic and CHANGELOG entry. +- **Tests won't compile:** Fix compilation errors in existing tests only if they are directly related to the bug. If unrelated tests are broken, note this in the PR description and do not attempt to fix unrelated failures. + +## Accessibility + +Every fix must preserve or improve accessibility compliance: +- **Section 508**, **WCAG** (AA minimum, AAA where achievable), and **WAI-ARIA** standards apply. +- All interactive elements must be fully **keyboard navigable**. +- If the fix changes DOM structure or ARIA attributes, verify with a screen reader or browser accessibility tools. +- Do not remove existing `role`, `aria-*`, or `tabindex` attributes unless the fix explicitly corrects an accessibility issue. + +## Localization + +If the fix adds or modifies user-facing strings (labels, messages, error text): +- Add the strings to the relevant resource strings interface (e.g., `IGridResourceStrings`). +- Follow the key naming convention: `igx__` (e.g., `igx_grid_groupByArea_message`). +- Flag the PR with `status: pending-localization` so translations can be provided. + +## Multi-branch Fixes -7. **When proposing a fix, explain:** - - The root cause of the bug. - - The failing test added and why it captures the bug. - - The code change (as a patch). - - Why the fix works. - - Whether the fix has any risk of regression on related features. +When a bug exists in multiple release branches: +1.
