+# PR Description: UI/UX: Introduce consistent empty/loading/error state design system (#991)
+
+## Summary
+Resolves issue #991 by introducing a production-hardened, consistent Empty / Loading / Error State design system for YieldVault RWA.
+
+This PR provides:
+1. Standardized UI state components (`LoadingState`, `ErrorState`, `EmptyState`, `StateWrapper`).
+2. Declarative state orchestration (`StateWrapper`) for handling state transitions (`isLoading` → `isError` → `isEmpty` → `children`).
+3. Refactored backward-compatible `ViewState` delegate.
+4. Comprehensive unit test suites covering rendering, tone variants, custom fallbacks, and accessibility attributes.
+5. Complete design system documentation (`frontend/docs/STATE_DESIGN_SYSTEM.md`).
+
+---
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### Component Design System Layer (`frontend/src/components/ui/`)
+- **`LoadingState.tsx` & `LoadingState.css`**: Standardized loading spinner and message supporting sizes (`sm`, `md`, `lg`, `full`), custom fallback components (e.g. skeletons), and accessible `role="status"` / `aria-busy="true"` attributes.
+- **`ErrorState.tsx` & `ErrorState.css`**: Accessible error notice component with tone styling (`error`, `warning`, `info`), actionable retry/secondary actions, expandable technical error detail view, and `role="alert"`.
+- **`StateWrapper.tsx`**: Declarative state orchestrator component managing conditional rendering (`isLoading` → `isError` → `isEmpty` → `children`) cleanly.
+- **`EmptyState.tsx` & `EmptyState.css`**: Enhanced with consistent styling, kind presets, and size support.
+- **`ViewState.tsx`**: Updated to utilize `ErrorState` / `EmptyState` under the hood while maintaining 100% backward compatibility.
+- **`index.ts`**: Re-exports `LoadingState`, `ErrorState`, `EmptyState`, and `StateWrapper`.
+
+### Tests (`frontend/src/components/ui/`)
+- **`LoadingState.test.tsx`**: Unit tests verifying message rendering, ARIA attributes, custom fallback rendering, and size classes.
+- **`ErrorState.test.tsx`**: Unit tests verifying tone variants, retry action triggers, title/description rendering, and technical detail toggling.
+- **`StateWrapper.test.tsx`**: Unit tests verifying state precedence (`loading` → `error` → `empty` → content) and custom fallback handlers.
+
+### Documentation (`frontend/docs/`)
+- **`STATE_DESIGN_SYSTEM.md`**: Complete design system guide covering usage examples, component APIs, accessibility standards, and state management best practices.
+
+---
+
+## Verification & Compliance
+- [x] All state components adhere to project design tokens and dark mode glassmorphism theme.
+- [x] WCAG AA compliance verified for color contrast and ARIA live regions.
+- [x] Full backward compatibility maintained for existing components (`EmptyState`, `Skeleton`, `ErrorFallback`, `ViewState`).
+- [x] Unit test suites added for all new UI state components.

+# Consistent UI State Design System
+
+This document outlines the UI state design system introduced in YieldVault RWA for handling loading, error, and empty states consistently across all components and pages.
+
+---
+
+## Core Components Overview
+
+| Component | Responsibility | Default Role | Live Region |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `StateWrapper` | Declarative state orchestrator (`isLoading` → `isError` → `isEmpty` → `children`) | Varies | Varies |
+| `LoadingState` | Standardized loading spinner and message with skeleton fallback options | `status` | `aria-live="polite"` |
+| `ErrorState` | Accessible error alert with retry triggers, severity levels, and optional detail toggle | `alert` | `aria-live="assertive"` |
+| `EmptyState` | Empty state cards with pre-configured kinds (`no-data`, `no-results`, `permission`, `search`, etc.) | `status` / `alert` | `aria-live="polite"` / `assertive` |
+
+---
+
+## 1. `StateWrapper`
+
+`StateWrapper` simplifies state conditional logic in container components and page views.
+
+```tsx
+import { StateWrapper } from "@/components/ui";
+
+function VaultMetricsSection({ data, isLoading, isError, error, refetch }) {
+  return (
+    <StateWrapper
+      isLoading={isLoading}
+      isError={isError}
+      isEmpty={!data || data.length === 0}
+      error={error}
+      onRetry={refetch}
+      loadingMessage="Loading vault metrics..."
+      emptyProps={{
+        title: "No Metrics Available",
+        description: "Deposit funds to view yield telemetry.",
+        kind: "no-data"
+      }}
+    >
+      <MetricsGrid data={data} />
+    </StateWrapper>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Props
+
+| Name | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `isLoading` | `boolean` | `false` | When true, renders `LoadingState` or `loadingFallback`. |
+| `isError` | `boolean` | `false` | When true, renders `ErrorState` or `errorFallback`. |
+| `isEmpty` | `boolean` | `false` | When true, renders `EmptyState` or `emptyFallback`. |
+| `error` | `Error \| string \| null` | `undefined` | Error object or error string for `ErrorState`. |
+| `onRetry` | `() => void` | `undefined` | Retry callback triggered on error state action click. |
+| `loadingMessage` | `string` | `"Loading..."` | Custom loading message text. |
+| `loadingFallback` | `ReactNode` | `undefined` | Complete custom JSX override for loading state (e.g. `DashboardCardSkeleton`). |
+| `errorFallback` | `ReactNode` | `undefined` | Complete custom JSX override for error state. |
+| `emptyFallback` | `ReactNode` | `undefined` | Complete custom JSX override for empty state. |
+
+---
+
+## 2. `LoadingState`
+
+`LoadingState` provides a standardized spinner and message for section-level or full-page loading indicators.
+
+```tsx
+import { LoadingState } from "@/components/ui";
+
+// Section loader
+<LoadingState message="Calculating projected yields..." size="md" />
+
+// Full-page loader
+<LoadingState message="Connecting to Stellar network..." size="full" />
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. `ErrorState`
+
+`ErrorState` renders accessible error notices with tone styling (`error`, `warning`, `info`), retry triggers, and optional expandable detail blocks.
+
+```tsx
+import { ErrorState } from "@/components/ui";
+
+<ErrorState
+  title="RPC Node Timeout"
+  description="Could not reach Horizon RPC endpoint. Please retry."
+  tone="error"
+  onRetry={() => refetch()}
+  showDetailsToggle={true}
+  error={error}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. `EmptyState`
+
+`EmptyState` displays standardized empty state messages when lists, tables, or search filters yield no data.
+
+```tsx
+import { EmptyState } from "@/components/ui";
+
+<EmptyState
+  kind="no-results"
+  title="No Transactions Found"
+  description="No deposit or withdrawal records match the selected filter."
+  action={{
+    label: "Reset Filters",
+    onClick: handleResetFilters
+  }}
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility Guidelines
+
+1. **Screen Readers**:
+   - Loading states use `role="status"` and `aria-live="polite"` with `aria-busy="true"`.
+   - Error states use `role="alert"` and `aria-live="assertive"`.
+   - Decorative icons inside state containers set `aria-hidden="true"`.
+2. **Focus Management**:
+   - Interactive retry buttons have clear, descriptive labels and contrast meeting WCAG AA standards.
