Motivation
The library's existing reduce-motion support set
animation.scale = 0-- a v2-era flag that components had to explicitly check, with no connection to the MD3theme.motionspring and duration tokens.This PR wires OS accessibility into the theme properly.
useAccessibleThemereplaces the inlinePaperProviderlogic, subscribes toreduceMotionChanged, and when active collapsestheme.motionto instant springs and zero durations via the newreducedMotionpreset. A cleantheme.motion.prefersReducedMotion: booleanflag gives components a single readable signal instead of the magic scale === 0 check.animation.scaleis kept and still set to 0 for backward compatibility with components that haven't migrated yet. It is now formally deprecated in favour oftheme.motion.prefersReducedMotion.Two further deprecations are added while here:
theme.mode('adaptive' | 'exact'), which is an MD2 elevation-overlay concept superseded by tonal surface colors intheme.colors.elevation.*; andanimation.defaultAnimationDuration, which was never read at runtime.No component behavior changes. The reduce-motion path is functionally equivalent to before for all existing components. theme.motion.prefersReducedMotion and the reducedMotion preset are foundation plumbing -- they will be consumed when components migrate to
theme.motiontokens in the per-component PRs that follow.Related issue
