# Accessibility review
Accessibility is whether real people can use the thing: with a keyboard, a
screen reader, low vision, or a tremor: not whether a linter is quiet.
Audit by use, report by failure.
## Method
1. **Walk the keyboard path first.** Unplug the mouse mentally and complete
the page's primary task with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape, and
arrows. Every failure is a finding:
- Focus that vanishes (no visible indicator) or lands somewhere absurd.
- Interactive things you cannot reach (`div onclick` without `tabindex`
and key handling: a native `<button>` fixes all of it at once).
- Traps: modals you cannot Escape, menus that swallow Tab.
- Order that jumps around the visual layout.
2. **Read the page as the accessibility tree.** Every control needs an
accessible name (visible label, `aria-label`, or `alt`); every input a
programmatic label (`for`/`id` or wrapping); images `alt` text that says
what matters (`alt=""` for decoration); headings a real hierarchy
(one `h1`, no skipped levels: structure, not styling).
3. **Check state and change announcements.** Toggles carry `aria-pressed`
or `aria-expanded`; errors are associated with their field
(`aria-describedby`), not floating red text; async updates that matter
(saved, failed, loading) reach `aria-live` regions; the modal traps
focus in and returns it on close.
4. **Check the visual floor.** Text contrast 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text and
UI parts); information
