Accessibility: WCAG 2.2 Level AA

Goal

Ensure the application is accessible and conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

Do

• Use semantic HTML landmarks, headings, lists, and form structures.
• Ensure keyboard accessibility for all interactive controls and flows.
• Provide visible focus indicators and logical tab order.
• Ensure accessible names for controls, icons, and actionable elements.
• Use sufficient color contrast and avoid color-only status communication.
• Provide clear validation messages and error associations for form fields.
• Support responsive zoom and reflow without content loss.
• Respect reduced-motion user preference where animations exist.

Checks

• All critical journeys are fully operable with keyboard only.
• Contrast targets meet AA ratios for normal and large text.
• Screen reader labels and announcements are accurate for dynamic updates.
• New UI changes include accessibility test coverage where practical.
