138-145: Organize Typography subsection and clarify Rating icon guidance.

Line 144 ("### Rating: icons must be readable...") is orphaned and disrupts the Typography subsection flow. It should either be a bullet under Typography or a separate, properly formatted subsection.

Apply this diff for clarity:

 ### Typography:

 - Title: Bold, large

 - Year and genres: smaller, low opacity

-### Rating: icons must be readable at small sizes
+- Rating icons: must be readable at small sizes

162-172: Add language specifier to the example code block.

The component example (lines 164–172) lacks a language identifier. Add jsx to enable syntax highlighting for contributors.

Apply this diff:

 Example usage:

-<MovieCard
+```jsx
+<MovieCard
   title="Inception"
   year={2010}
   rating={8.8}
   genres={['Sci-Fi', 'Thriller']}
   posterUrl="/img/inception.webp"
   description="A thief who steals corporate secrets through dream-sharing..."
   trailerUrl="https://youtube.com/trailer-url"
 />
+```

146-157: Expand Accessibility Requirements with implementation-focused detail.

The Accessibility section covers baseline requirements well but lacks specifics that contributors will need. Consider adding guidance on focus state styling, screen reader testing, and ARIA role recommendations.

Consider expanding this section with:

  • Focus states: "Outline or highlight visible when card/trailer button receives keyboard focus (must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA 3:1 contrast ratio)"
  • Screen reader testing: "Test with NVDA (Windows) and VoiceOver (macOS) to confirm trailer link purpose is announced"
  • ARIA roles/attributes: "Trailer button should have role='button' or <button> element; ensure aria-label is descriptive (e.g., 'Watch Inception trailer' not just 'Watch trailer')"

These additions help future contributors implement accessibility correctly without guesswork.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Close the JSON code block before Section 3.

The JSON code block starting at line 25 with ```json is missing its closing backticks. Line 35 jumps directly to the next section heading without closing the block, which breaks Markdown rendering.

Apply this diff to close the code block:

   "trailerUrl": "https://youtube-link"
 }

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Projects/2-Intermediate/MovieCard-Specification.md around lines 25 to 35, the
JSON code block opened with ```json is not closed which breaks Markdown
rendering; close the block by inserting three backticks (```) immediately before
the "## 3. Layout Structure" heading so the code block ends and the section
heading is rendered correctly.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Restructure Layout Section with consistent subsection formatting.

The Layout Structure section mixes inconsistent formatting. "Poster Section," "Information Section," and "Hover Section" should all be formatted as ### Subsection headers, but "Hover Section" is currently a bullet point under "Information Section" (line 65). This creates ambiguity about whether the hover content is nested under Information or a separate card region.

Apply this diff to clarify structure:

 ### Information Section

 - Movie Title (bold)

 - Release Year (lighter text)

 - Star Rating

 - 5 star icons

 - Filled vs unfilled based on rating

 - Genre Tags

 - Small pills/chips

 - Scrollable on mobile

-  - Hover Section
+### Hover Section

 - Only visible on hover/press
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In Projects/2-Intermediate/MovieCard-Specification.md around lines 36 to 73, the
Layout Structure subsections are inconsistently formatted causing ambiguity:
convert "Poster Section", "Information Section", and "Hover Section" into
top-level subsection headers (each as "### <Subsection>") so they are parallel
and not nested; move the current "Hover Section" bullet out from under the
Information Section into its own "### Hover Section" header and retain its
content (Only visible on hover/press, Short description, “Watch Trailer”
button/link) as that subsection's bullets; ensure indentation and bullet nesting
under each header are consistent (poster bullets under Poster, info bullets
under Information, hover bullets under Hover).
