Public-Service Trust Rails and Recovery
Public-service interfaces must make official identity, responsible organization, legal links, task title, form semantics, error summaries, and recovery paths into verifiable page structure instead of merely applying blue-white civic styling.
Trust in public services comes from an inspectable responsibility chain and recoverable task flow: users need to know whether the service is official, who is responsible, whether the connection is safe, why information is needed, how to fix mistakes, and where privacy/accessibility/oversight information lives.95%Design Systems Page Patternsinformation-architecture / navigationInformation Scent and Link Label Contract
