📚 Description

When to is set, PageCard renders an invisible <a> with an absolutely positioned <span class="absolute inset-0"> so the whole card is clickable. Because container also has position: relative, both it and that overlay span compete for the same paint layer, and whichever sits later in the template wins everywhere it overlaps. The overlay came after container, so it always won, swallowing hover/click on anything nested inside the card, like a Tooltip trigger in the footer slot.

Reordering the two isn't enough on its own: it just flips which one wins everywhere, so the card stops navigating from empty space instead. The fix needs both pieces: the <a> moves before container so real content can sit above the overlay, and container gets pointer-events-none with wrapper (where the header/leading/body/footer content lives) back to pointer-events-auto, so clicks on nested interactive elements land on that content while clicks on the empty parts of the card fall through to the link underneath. page-aside.ts already uses this exact pairing for a similar overlay.

This does mean clicking directly on the title or description text no longer also triggers navigation, only actual interactive content and empty space do. That's the standard trade-off of this "stretched link" pattern (the same one Bootstrap's .stretched-link makes), and it's a smaller behavior change than leaving nested Tooltips and buttons permanently unusable.

The pointer-events split is scoped to only apply when to is actually set, not the broader to || onClick condition PageCard otherwise uses for its hover styling, so a plain onClick-only card (no overlay link at all) keeps its default-slot content fully interactive as before.

🧪 Testing

Added tests in test/components/PageCard.spec.ts covering: the link renders before the container and container/wrapper carry the right pointer-events classes when to is set, and that an onClick-only card (no to) is untouched. Verified interactively against the real repro from #6873 (a Tooltip in the footer slot) that the trigger is hoverable/clickable and the rest of the card still navigates. Updated the affected PageCard snapshots.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PageCard now renders its conditional ULink before the card content container. A linked card applies pointer-event classes through the new overlay theme state. Tests cover nested footer buttons, link ordering, and onClick-only cards.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 86f59

The PR changes linked-card hit testing, but the current behavior may leave some nested controls unusable and may prevent normal card areas from navigating as intended; the regression test also does not fully prove the overlay link is present. These bounded interaction and test issues should be addressed before merging.

- Around line 145-153: In PageCard’s overlay markup, add fixed data-slot values
to the moved ULink and its absolute overlay span, using distinct stable names
consistent with the component’s existing slot naming. Leave the Primitive root
binding unchanged so caller-provided root data-slot values continue to take
precedence.

In `@test/components/PageCard.spec.ts`:
- Around line 87-88: Update the PageCard test assertions around wrapper.html()
to first verify that both the encoded link and button markers are present, then
compare their positions. Keep the existing ordering assertion after these
existence checks so a missing link or button fails the test.
