+# ApiUsage Reduced-Motion Fallback
+
+## Issue
+[b#004] - Add reduced-motion fallback for ApiUsage animations
+
+## Description
+This change adds `prefers-reduced-motion` fallback support for ApiUsage page animations to ensure users who prefer reduced motion experience a static UI without pulsing, spinning, or shimmering effects.
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### CSS Changes (`src/index.css`)
+Extended the existing `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` block for the ApiUsage page to include the button spinner animation:
+
+```css
+@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
+  .api-usage-page .status-dot {
+    animation: none;
+    opacity: 1;
+  }
+
+  .api-usage-page .skeleton {
+    animation: none;
+    background: var(--surface-soft);
+  }
+
+  .api-usage-page .button-spinner {
+    animation: none;
+    border-top-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
+  }
+
+  .api-usage-page .chart-bar {
+    transition: none;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Test Changes
+Added focused tests in both `src/pages/ApiUsage.test.tsx` and `src/ApiUsage.test.tsx` to verify that the button-spinner element has the CSS class targeted by the reduced-motion rules.
+
+## API/Visible Changes
+
+### User-Visible Changes
+- **Users with `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` enabled** will see:
+  - Static status dots (no pulsing animation)
+  - Static skeleton loaders (no shimmer animation)
+  - Static button spinners (no rotation animation)
+  - Instant chart bar transitions (no animation delay)
+- **Users without reduced-motion preference** will see no change in behavior
+
+### API Changes
+- No API changes
+- No breaking changes
+- No new props or component interfaces
+
+## Accessibility Impact
+This change improves accessibility for users with vestibular disorders or motion sensitivity by providing a static fallback when the OS-level reduced-motion preference is enabled. This follows WCAG 2.1 guidelines for avoiding motion that can cause discomfort or nausea.
+
+## Testing
+Added test cases to verify:
+1. Button spinner CSS class is present and targeted by reduced-motion rules
+2. Existing reduced-motion behavior for status dots, skeletons, and chart bars remains unchanged
+
+## Browser Support
+Uses standard CSS `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` query, supported by all modern browsers:
+- Chrome 74+
+- Firefox 63+
+- Safari 10.1+
+- Edge 79+
