+# RFC-002: Canonical Input Component
+
+**Status:** 🟡 Draft — Under review  
+**Tier:** 1 (Canonical)  
+**Inherits From:** — (root component)  
+**Author:** AI Agent  
+**Date:** 2026-07-02
+
+---
+
+## 1. COGNITIVE PURPOSE
+
+Input exists to capture free-form text or numeric data from the user. It is the primary interface for data entry in forms, filters, and search.
+
+**Design Goal:** The user knows what to enter, where to enter it, and whether the entry is valid — without reading documentation.
+
+---
+
+## 2. WHEN TO USE
+
+- Free-form text entry (name, address, description)
+- Numeric entry (quantity, price, coordinates)
+- Password entry
+- Search queries
+- Filter values
+
+## 3. WHEN NOT TO USE
+
+- Selection from predefined options (use Select)
+- Boolean toggle (use Switch or Checkbox)
+- Date/time selection (use Date Picker)
+- File upload (use File Input)
+- Rich text (use Rich Text Editor)
+
+---
+
+## 4. USER EXPECTATION
+
+- Input field is identifiable as editable
+- Placeholder text hints at expected format
+- Focus state indicates where typing will appear
+- Validation errors are shown immediately or on blur
+- Required fields are marked
+- Disabled fields are visually distinct
+
+---
+
+## 5. INTERACTION CONTRACT
+
+| Event | Response |
+|-------|----------|
+| Click | Focus input, place cursor |
+| Type | Character appears at cursor position |
+| Tab | Move focus to next field |
+| Shift+Tab | Move focus to previous field |
+| Blur | Validate (if configured), show error if invalid |
+| Enter | Submit form (if single-line), new line (if multi-line) |
+| Escape | Clear input (if configured), or cancel |
+
+---
+
+## 6. FAILURE BEHAVIOUR
+
+| Scenario | Response |
+|----------|----------|
+| Invalid input on blur | Show error message below input, red border |
+| Invalid input on submit | Show error, scroll to first error, focus it |
+| Network validation fails | Show error, allow retry |
+| Input exceeds max length | Prevent further input, show character count |
+| Input is required but empty | Show error on blur or submit |
+| Input is disabled | Ignore all interactions, show disabled state |
+
+---
+
+## 7. ACCESSIBILITY CONTRACT
+
+- **Label:** Every input MUST have an associated `<label>` or `aria-label`
+- **Focus:** Focus ring MUST be visible (WCAG 2.4.7)
+- **Error:** Error message MUST be associated with `aria-describedby`
+- **Required:** Required state MUST be communicated with `aria-required` or `required` attribute
+- **Screen reader:** MUST announce label, current value, and error state
+- **Color:** Error state MUST NOT rely on color alone (icon or text required)
+
+---
+
+## 8. AI CONTRACT
+
+| Scenario | AI Choice |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Free-form text entry | Input |
+| Predefined options | Select |
+| Boolean toggle | Switch / Checkbox |
+| Date/time | Date Picker |
+| File upload | File Input |
+| Search with suggestions | Search (specialized component) |
+
+---
+
+## 9. TOKEN DEPENDENCIES
+
+| Token | Semantic Reference | Usage |
+|-------|-------------------|-------|
+| `input-bg` | `surface-primary` | Background |
+| `input-border` | `border-default` | Default border |
+| `input-border-focus` | `brand-500` | Focus border |
+| `input-border-error` | `semantic-red-500` | Error border |
+| `input-text` | `text-primary` | Input text |
+| `input-placeholder` | `text-muted` | Placeholder text |
+| `input-padding` | `space-3` | Internal padding |
+| `input-radius` | `radius-md` | Border radius |
+| `input-height-sm` | `space-8` | Small height (32px) |
+| `input-height-md` | `space-10` | Medium height (40px) |
+| `input-height-lg` | `space-12` | Large height (48px) |
+| `input-error-bg` | `semantic-red-50` | Error background tint |
+| `input-disabled-bg` | `surface-secondary` | Disabled background |
+| `input-disabled-text` | `text-muted` | Disabled text |
+
+---
+
+## 10. LAYOUT
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Label (optional)                    │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ ┌─────────────────────────────────┐ │
+│ │ Placeholder text...            │ │
+│ └─────────────────────────────────┘ │
+│ Helper text / Error message         │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Label:** Above input, left-aligned, `text-sm`, `font-medium`
+- **Input:** Full width of container, padding `space-3`
+- **Helper/Error:** Below input, `text-xs`, `text-muted` (helper) or `semantic-red-500` (error)
+- **Gap:** `space-1` between label and input, `space-1` between input and helper
+
+---
+
+## 11. SIZES
+
+| Size | Height | Font Size | Padding | Usage |
+|------|--------|-----------|---------|-------|
+| Small | 32px | 14px | `space-2` | Dense forms, tables |
+| Medium | 40px | 16px | `space-3` | Default, most forms |
+| Large | 48px | 18px | `space-4` | Mobile, touch-first |
+
+---
+
+## 12. VARIANTS
+
+| Variant | Visual | Usage |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Default | Border, background | Standard form input |
+| Ghost | No border, underline only | Minimal UI, filters |
+| Filled | Solid background, no border | High-contrast forms |
+
+---
+
+## 13. STATES
+
+| State | Visual | Motion |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| Default | `input-border`, `input-bg` | — |
+| Hover | Border darkens slightly | `duration-instant` |
+| Focus | `input-border-focus`, focus ring | `duration-instant` |
+| Active | Same as focus | — |
+| Disabled | `input-disabled-bg`, `input-disabled-text` | — |
+| Error | `input-border-error`, `input-error-bg` | `duration-interaction` |
+| Loading | Spinner inside input, disabled | `duration-attention` |
+| Valid | Green checkmark icon (optional) | `duration-interaction` |
+
+---
+
+## 14. KEYBOARD
+
+| Key | Action |
+|-----|--------|
+| `Tab` | Move focus to next field |
+| `Shift+Tab` | Move focus to previous field |
+| `Enter` | Submit form (single-line) |
+| `Escape` | Clear input (if clearable) |
+| `Ctrl+A` | Select all text |
+| `Ctrl+C/V/X` | Copy/paste/cut |
+
+---
+
+## 15. TOUCH
+
+- Touch target: Minimum 40px height (Medium size)
+- Active state: Brief background tint
+- No gesture support (no swipe, pinch)
+
+---
+
+## 16. MOTION
+
+| Transition | Animation | Duration | Easing |
+|-----------|-----------|----------|--------|
+| Focus | Border color change | `duration-instant` | `ease-out` |
+| Error appear | Border + background tint | `duration-interaction` | `ease-out` |
+| Error disappear | Revert to default | `duration-interaction` | `ease-in` |
+| Loading spinner | Rotate | `duration-background` | `linear` |
+
+**Reduced Motion:** All transitions become instant (`duration-instant`).
+
+---
+
+## 17. ANTI-PATTERNS
+
+- ❌ **Placeholder as label:** Placeholder disappears on typing, user loses context
+- ❌ **Validation only on submit:** User should know immediately if input is wrong
+- ❌ **No visual feedback on focus:** User cannot see where they are typing
+- ❌ **Error message in color only:** Screen reader users miss it
+- ❌ **Input without label:** Accessibility failure, unclear purpose
+- ❌ **Too many variations:** Stick to Default, Ghost, Filled
+
+---
+
+## 18. RELATED COMPONENTS
+
+- **Select** — Predefined options instead of free-form
+- **Textarea** — Multi-line text entry
+- **Search** — Input with autocomplete and suggestions
+- **Form** — Groups inputs with validation logic
+- **Label** — Associated text for input
+
+---
+
+## 19. DDR REFERENCES
+
+- **DDR-001:** Device Adaptive over Desktop First (affects input sizing)
+- **DDR-002:** Information-level typography (affects label and helper text)
+- **DDR-003:** Semantic color system (affects error and disabled states)
+
+---
+
+## 20. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
+
+- [ ] All 12 Definition of Done criteria met
+- [ ] Works with screen reader (NVDA, VoiceOver, JAWS)
+- [ ] Keyboard navigation works (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape)
+- [ ] Touch target minimum 40px on mobile
+- [ ] Error state visible without color alone
+- [ ] Placeholder does not replace label
+- [ ] Loading state prevents duplicate submission
+- [ ] Disabled state clearly distinct from enabled
+- [ ] Focus ring visible and logical
+- [ ] Reduced motion respected
