Storybook resolved @app/* through a single tsconfig — the proprietary one — so a story under src/desktop asking for a desktop module got the proprietary or core file, or nothing. Those four layers could not host a story at all, which is 62 uncovered surfaces. A resolver keyed on the importer's layer mirrors each flavour's own vite tsconfig: desktop searches desktop, cloud, proprietary, core; saas searches saas, cloud, proprietary, core; prototypes skips cloud. Imports from core, proprietary and portal never match it, so nothing about existing stories changes. The first three desktop components covered found two defects: - The file save-state dot carried aria-label on a bare span, where the attribute is prohibited and silently ignored. Save state was conveyed by colour alone with nothing announced. It is now role="img". - DisabledButtonWithTooltip exists to look disabled while explaining why, but said none of that to assistive technology and reached the explanation only by hover. It now announces itself as a disabled button described by its tooltip, and shows that tooltip on focus as well.
