Title with entity tile

Keyboard

• The static forms (icon, tile, avatar) are text — nothing to focus.
• The dropdown form is a button: Tab reaches it, Enter or Space opens the menu, Escape closes it and returns focus.
• Rename: Enter commits, Escape cancels, blur commits once (a latch prevents Enter-then-blur from saving twice, and Escape-then-blur from resurrecting a cancelled save). Both keys stop propagating so a dialog's Escape or a row's Enter does not fire as well.
• While renaming the input is disabled and removed from the tab order, so the user cannot start a second edit over an unfinished save.

ARIA

• The mark (tile, icon, avatar) is decorative; the accessible name is the text next to it.
• The dropdown form carries aria-expanded through the bar's own trigger contract, and its menu is a canonical popover.
• Rename mode exposes an input named by renameAriaLabel (falling back to a sensible default), so a screen reader announces what is being renamed.
• The component's dev-only warnings enforce that an identity exists at all — a bar with no mark is a bug, not a variant.
• The title is not a heading element; the page owns its own <h1>.

Focus

• The dropdown form takes the foundation ring from ds.css (outline: 2px solid var(--accent)); the tile and avatar are inside the same control, so the ring wraps the whole identity.
• Entering rename mode moves focus into the input; committing or cancelling returns it to the name.

Contrast

Computed from packages/ui/src/tokens/tokens.css:

• Name .tbar-h: ink on --surface-100 = 17.59:1 light, 14.53:1 dark.
• Tile: the icon sits on its tone tint; the seven tones are the DS tints, each carrying its own ink — all above the 3:1 non-text minimum, and the tile is never the only carrier of meaning.
• Avatar .nav-pav: initials on a generated hue, with a dark-theme override so the contrast holds in both themes.
• Chevron of the dropdown form --fg-muted = 2.85:1 light — below the 3:1 non-text minimum; the hover surface and the name carry the affordance.

Known limits

• The tone is decorative only: a colour-blind user gets no information from it, which is intended — nothing depends on it.
• The chevron is muted (2.85:1 in light theme).
• Rename has no error state of its own; a failed save has to be reported by the screen.
• A very long name is not truncated, so on a narrow screen the controls after it move out of view (the bar scrolls).
