DigiYatra case study: skeleton placeholder for legacy phone shots - #16
Merged

Conversation
The legacy 'before' screenshots are lazy-loaded; before a shot painted (or on any slow/flaky connection or load failure) the bezel flashed its raw grey alt text and the browser broken-image glyph on a white screen, which read as a broken phone. Give the bezel screen a neutral skeleton, hide the alt text visually with color:transparent (the attribute stays for screen readers), and hide the <img> on error so a hard failure shows only the skeleton.

What
The legacy "before" screenshots in the DigiYatra case study are lazy-loaded. Before a shot painted — or on any slow/flaky connection, cache miss, or load failure — the phone bezel flashed its raw grey
alttext ("The old DigiYatra login screen") plus the browser's broken-image glyph on a white screen. It looked like a broken phone. (This is the faint "bra" fragment a quick scroll catches.)Fix (
OldPhoneonly)color: transparenton the<img>hides the alt text visually — the attribute stays in the DOM, so screen readers still announce it.onErrorhides the<img>outright, so a genuine load failure shows only the skeleton (no glyph).The live "after" phones (real prototype component) are untouched.
Verified (Playwright, 390px @2x)
altattributes remain in the DOM (a11y intact).astro check: 0 errors / 0 warnings / 0 hints. Production build green.
