Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Haptic feedback Choose haptic feedback when the tactile effect reinforces a visible interaction milestone and improves physical confidence without carrying required information alone. A haptic effect plays only for a user-relevant interaction event and stays synchronized with the visible state change it reinforces. Supports vibration pattern semantics, cancellation, security considerations, and user-agent limits.
