Accessibility QA

WCAG audit matrix

Static accessibility smoke coverage is wired into CI. Manual keyboard, axe browser, VoiceOver, and NVDA evidence must be completed before publishing a full conformance claim.

Current evidence

CI-gated checks

ci-gated

static route checks

npm run check

Validates skip links, primary navigation, canonical metadata, stylesheet SRI, ARIA id references, accessible names, reduced-motion CSS, and required route surfaces.

ci-gated

UI smoke manifest

npm run smoke:ui

Reads /data/ui-smoke.json and checks route-specific landmarks, live-region ids, combobox wiring, accessible names, and visual component tokens.

ci-gated

endpoint smoke

npm run smoke:endpoints

Verifies that public HTML and JSON endpoints return parseable documents with expected route-level accessibility hooks.

Manual checks

Open items before conformance claim

  • Run axe in a browser context on the homepage, /place/IND/, /compare/, and /events/.
  • Complete manual keyboard traversal for search, release-mode tabs, compare links, and table/download controls.
  • Complete VoiceOver checks on macOS Safari or Chrome for live-region announcements and table navigation.
  • Complete NVDA checks on Windows for the combobox, live-region announcements, breadcrumbs, and compare route.
  • Attach any failures to release QA before making a WCAG conformance claim.
