P12 — Accessibility (claudian-reboot, the FINAL phase)

The accessibility layer + WCAG 2.2 AA behaviour sweep closing the reboot (charter §3.9/§3.10/§4 P12). Spec: specs/accessibility/ (PRD-AY-001, DESIGN-AY-001, SPEC-AY-001..011, no new ADR, TASKS-AY-001 = 18 tasks).

Delivered (T-AY-001..016)

  • src/ui/styles/accessibility.css — the 3rd global CSS layer (registered at both import sites), 6 .specorator-root-scoped rule groups: reduced-motion guard (softens/halts the 5 keyframes incl. an explicit spin stop), forced-colors system-color mapping + visible borders on background-cue-only controls, :focus-visible ring (reuses the existing --sp-focus-ring/--sp-shadow-focus-ring — no new token), .sr-only. lightningcss-safe; meets claudian's focus-ring layer + beats it on the other four.
  • Behaviour sweep — mostly verify-only (the per-phase a11y was thorough: ChatSurface aria-live+role=status, TabBar tablist+roving tabindex, the 8 modal seams' native focus trap/restore, collapsible aria-expanded, icon-only labels) + 2 real fills: NoticeLiveRegion.vue (the standalone notice live-region gap, pure Vue on the sp:notice channel) + the RG-4 real-selector correction.
  • Fully additive — the src/ diff is ONLY accessibility.css + the 2 main.ts imports + NoticeLiveRegion.vue; no swept component template / locale / manifest.json changed; P0–P11 surfaces behaviourally + visually unchanged for existing users.

Gate (local, green)

vue-tsc 0 · eslint 0 · vitest 296 files / 2234 passed (0 errors) · build + build:web (lightningcss) + docs:api clean · npm audit --audit-level=high clean.

Parity self-review (Stage 9)

review.md approve-with-nits (0 P1/P2). 6 rule groups + both registrations confirmed; additivity proven; WCAG 2.2 AA met at the automatable level; no new port/ADR. Two low doc-sync nits (non-blocking).

Deferred — the SINGLE FINAL epic gate (human)

TEST-AY-017 / REQ-AY-017 — the human cross-surface final parity screenshot sign-off (all surfaces, light+dark, 320/520/720), into which the accumulated P5–P11 manual-Obsidian + parity-screenshot legs converge. Agent presents; never self-claims.


This is the last implementation phase of the claudian-reboot epic (P0–P12). After merge, the whole rebuilt plugin is on next; the nextdevelop PR is opened for the human's parity call (not auto-merged).

…L phase)

Cut feature/accessibility off next (P0-P11 merged). Scope = parity-charter §3.10
accessibility.css (reduced-motion/forced-colors/focus-visible/sr-only) + a11y behaviour
polish across all P1-P11 surfaces + WCAG 2.2 AA sweep. The final parity screenshot
sign-off (all surfaces) is HUMAN-owned — the accumulated P5-P11 manual legs converge.
No new port/ADR expected. After P12 merges: present final review + open (don't merge)
next→develop (the original /goal end-state). Next: /spec:requirements.

claudian accessibility.css = 41 lines, focus-rings only (meet that; beat with the rest).
accessibility.css = 6 .specorator-root-scoped rule groups (reduced-motion global guard +
explicit spin halt + forced-colors system-color mapping + forced-colors visible borders +
:focus-visible ring reusing existing --sp-focus-ring/--sp-shadow-focus-ring + .sr-only),
lightningcss-safe; joins tokens.css+animations.css at both import sites. Behaviour-fixes
mostly verify-only (ChatSurface aria-live + TabBar tablist + Obsidian Modal native focus
trap already present) + targeted fills (aria-expanded, icon-only labels, RG-4 selectors).
TEST-AY-001..016 automatable; TEST-AY-017 = HUMAN final parity screenshot sign-off (the
single final epic gate). No new port/ADR. Chunks: css+registration · behaviour sweep · tests.

Scaffolds the test-plan baseline (token/import-site/reduced-motion/forced-colors
references + the claudian meet/beat split), the parity-screenshots.md matrix
(all charter §3 surfaces × 320/520/720 × light/dark + a11y-condition columns,
the human TEST-AY-017 sign-off artifact), and the implementation log. Records
the guard verdict: NO guard-relax, NO new InjectionKey/port/component/ADR,
manifest + locales untouched. No src/ change.

Implements REQ-AY-016. SPEC-AY-001/002/003/006, NFR-AY-002/004/008. TEST-AY-016.

RED file-read tests: RG-1 reduced-motion guard, RG-2 explicit spin halt
(animation: none), RG-3 forced-colors system-colour mapping, RG-5 :focus-visible
ring consuming --sp-focus-ring (no bare :focus), RG-6 .sr-only clip technique,
the CSS discipline scan (no hex / no raw var outside forced-colors, ASCII
comments). RED registration test: accessibility.css imported as the 3rd CSS
import after tokens + animations at both src/plugin/main.ts and src/ui/main.ts.
RED until T-AY-002 (file + imports absent).

…oth CSS entries

New src/ui/styles/accessibility.css with the six rule groups, .specorator-root
scoped, ASCII-only lightningcss-safe comments, no hex / no raw non --sp-* var
outside the forced-colors block:
- RG-1 reduced-motion global guard (!important, the only !important in the file)
- RG-2 explicit spin halt (animation: none, not a near-zero duration)
- RG-3 forced-colors surface mapping (forced-color-adjust + system colours)
- RG-4 forced-colors border guarantee (T-AY-005 enumerates the full selector list)
- RG-5 :focus-visible ring reusing --sp-focus-ring / --sp-shadow-focus-ring (no new token)
- RG-6 .sr-only clip utility (never display:none / visibility:hidden)
Registered as the 3rd CSS import after tokens + animations at src/plugin/main.ts
and src/ui/main.ts; vite.config.ts unchanged. Greens TEST-AY-001/002/003/004/005/
007(file)/009(file)/015(css); folds in the RED test-helper corrections (assertions
unchanged). vue-tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build:web lightningcss green.

Completes the RG-4 background-cue-only control enumeration per SPEC-AY-006: the
toggle switch (.sp-toggle-switch), state pills ([data-state]), file/image chips
(.sp-chip), tab badges (.sp-tab), and the selected dropdown option
([role=option][aria-selected=true]) each gain border: 1px solid currentColor
inside the forced-colors block, so each stays distinguishable under HCM. Adds
the TEST-AY-006 file-read leg asserting the enumeration. Inert outside
forced-colors (default render unchanged). vue-tsc 0, lint 0 errors.

Implements SPEC-AY-006, SPEC-AY-001 (RG-4). REQ-AY-006, NFR-AY-009, EC-AY-003.

Marks Chunk 1 (accessibility.css + registration) complete: ticks the T-AY-001..005
DoD checkboxes, sets implementation-log.md + test-plan.md to in-progress, moves
stages 7/8 to in-progress, records the Chunk-1 hand-off note (commit SHAs + the
green vue-tsc/lint/test/build:web results + the remaining Chunk 2/3/gate work).

…tors

Adds the TEST-AY-006 mount leg: mounts the RG-4-listed background-cue-only
controls (tab badge / service-tier switch / file chip / image thumb /
selected permission option) and asserts each exists in the rendered DOM, and
that RG-4 enumerates a selector matching each real swept control.

The mount leg surfaced that the T-AY-005 RG-4 enumeration used placeholder
selectors (.sp-toggle-switch / .sp-chip) that match no real component. Corrects
RG-4 to the real swept-component selectors: [role="switch"] (the toggle
switches), .sp-file-chips__chip / .sp-image-thumb (the chips), [data-state]
(state pills), .sp-tab (tab badges), [role="option"][aria-selected="true"]
(selected option). Additive, forced-colors-only — no default-render change.
Updates the TEST-AY-006 file-read leg to the real selectors.

Implements SPEC-AY-006. TEST-AY-006. REQ-AY-006, NFR-AY-009, EC-AY-003.

…+ names

Adds the TEST-AY-007 mount leg + TEST-AY-008: mounts the audited toolbar /
composer / chat controls (tab badge/close/new, composer textarea/attach/send,
file chip link/remove, image thumb preview/remove, service-tier + permission
toggles) and asserts each matches the RG-5 focus-visible target selector (so the
keyboard ring reaches it) and exposes a non-empty accessible name. Verify-only:
every audited control already carries an aria-label / role / tabindex (the
per-phase a11y sweep was thorough) so no icon-only-label fill is needed.

Implements SPEC-AY-007, SPEC-AY-008. TEST-AY-007, TEST-AY-008. REQ-AY-007/008,
NFR-AY-001, EC-AY-005, EC-AY-006.

… host)

Adds the TEST-AY-010 mount leg. Two legs:
- busy region (verify-only): ChatSurface streaming busy region carries
  aria-live="polite" + role="status" (passes against current code).
- notice host (RED): asserts a NoticeLiveRegion announces error=assertive
  (role=alert) / info=polite (role=status) via an aria-live region that mirrors
  the notice text declaratively, without stealing focus. RED until T-AY-011
  lands NoticeLiveRegion.vue (driven by the existing sp:notice channel).

Adds a busyRole() accessor to ChatSurface.po.

Implements SPEC-AY-004. TEST-AY-010. REQ-AY-010, NFR-AY-001, EC-AY-011/012.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…e/info polite)

Adds NoticeLiveRegion.vue: a visually-hidden (.sr-only) ARIA live region that
announces non-blocking notices to screen readers in the standalone / GitHub
Pages host. It subscribes to the existing sp:notice CustomEvent channel that
LocalStorageBridge already dispatches (no new port, no new channel). Error
notices map to aria-live="assertive" + role="alert"; info/success/warning map
to polite + role="status". The notice text is bound declaratively as {{ }}
text (no innerHTML/v-html). The region is passive (never calls .focus()), so an
announcement never steals focus. The .sr-only clip gives zero visible footprint
-> the default render stays additive (REQ-AY-014).

Wires it into the standalone entry alongside ChatSurface inside ErrorBoundary.
The ChatSurface busy region (aria-live=polite + role=status) was already
present -> verify-only (T-AY-008 green leg).

Implements SPEC-AY-004. REQ-AY-010, NFR-AY-003, EC-AY-011/012.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…y/label

Adds the TEST-AY-011 + TEST-AY-009 mount legs. Asserts (a) the SpCollapsible
header (reused by every rich block: tool call / thinking / subagent /
write-edit) exposes aria-expanded that flips on Enter/Space/click and an
accessible name; verified through a direct mount + through ToolCallBlock; and
(b) icon-only controls (file-chip-remove, image-thumb-remove) carry a non-empty
aria-label while their decorative glyph is aria-hidden="true". Verify-only:
every collapsible already binds aria-expanded + a dynamic aria-label, and every
icon-only control already labels itself -> no aria-expanded / icon-label fill
needed (T-AY-010/T-AY-012 are verify-only).

Implements SPEC-AY-005, SPEC-AY-007. TEST-AY-011, TEST-AY-009. REQ-AY-009/011,
EC-AY-007.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds the TEST-AY-012/013 structural verify: asserts all 8 Specorator modal
seams (ProviderConsent, DeleteConfirm, ForkTarget, InstructionConfirm,
InlineEdit, ImagePreview, McpServerHost, McpTestHost) extend Obsidian Modal,
which natively traps Tab/Shift+Tab and restores document.activeElement on close
(D-AY-3). The live Tab-cycle + focus-restore is the human TEST-AY-017 leg / the
Obsidian runtime; this is the structural Modal-subclass property the JSDOM
harness can assert. Verify-only -> no hand-rolled trap. A modal NOT extending
Modal would be a defect-escalation (ADR-AY-001 + a new task); all 8 conform.

Adds a minimal Modal export to the shared obsidian test stub (additive) so the
extends chain forms for the structural verify.

Implements SPEC-AY-009. TEST-AY-012, TEST-AY-013. REQ-AY-012/013, EC-AY-008/009.

…gresses)

Adds the TEST-AY-014 additivity proof, the cardinal P12 counter-metric:
- locale output byte-identical to next (git diff --name-only next -- locales empty);
- manifest.json byte-identical to next (NFR-AY-008);
- the entire src/ diff vs next touches ONLY the P12 allow-list (accessibility.css,
  the two CSS-import entry edits, the new .sr-only NoticeLiveRegion) -> no swept
  component template under src/ui/chat / src/ui/agent / src/plugin/modals changed,
  so the P0-P11 default render is byte-identical at the source;
- representative swept components (TabBar, FileChips, ImageThumb, ChatComposer)
  keep their visible default-render structure (the aria-* attrs + the .sr-only
  clip do not alter the visible render).

Implements SPEC-AY-010. TEST-AY-014. REQ-AY-014, NFR-AY-004, EC-AY-010.

… diff)

Adds the TEST-AY-015 diff leg (the CSS token/comment leg rides T-AY-003): scans
the added (+) lines of the P12 src/ diff vs next and asserts no
innerHTML/outerHTML assignment, no insertAdjacentHTML call, no v-html directive,
and no new eslint-disable of the raw-HTML / v-html guards. The additive ARIA
edits bind attributes declaratively and the .sr-only notice text renders as
{{ }} text -> the fills are declarative. Green against the actual diff.

Implements SPEC-AY-011. TEST-AY-015. REQ-AY-015, NFR-AY-003.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…matrix

Adds the TEST-AY-016 artifact-completeness check: asserts parity-screenshots.md
lists every charter §3 surface (§3.1..§3.9) at 320/520/720 px in light + dark,
each paired with a claudian baseline + a Specorator capture leg, plus the two
a11y-condition columns (reduced-motion / forced-colors). Artifact-completeness
only — the visual judgment is the human TEST-AY-017 leg.

Marks the matrix complete (status: complete; the row/cell structure is fully
populated, baseline column filled from claudian); the Specorator + a11y-condition
cells are left for the human reviewer to populate + judge at T-AY-017.

Implements REQ-AY-016. TEST-AY-016.

…lose-out

Logs Chunk 2 (T-AY-006..013) + Chunk 3 (T-AY-014..016): the forced-colors mount
leg + RG-4 real-selector correction, focus/keyboard/labels verify, the
live-region RED + the NoticeLiveRegion fill, the collapsible/icon-only verify,
the 8-modal-seam trap/restore verify, the additivity invariant, the discipline
scan, and the parity-screenshots completeness. Records T-AY-010 + T-AY-012 as
verify-only (no gap). Ticks the T-AY-006..016 DoD boxes; updates workflow-state
Stage-7 close-out (implementation-log in-progress: T-AY-017 human + T-AY-018

P2 Badge Wire the live region to the standalone notifier

In the standalone app this new live region never receives the notices produced by the UI, because NOTIFICATION_PORT is still the MockBridge instance and its showError/showInfo methods only append to noticeLog/console rather than dispatching the sp:notice event that NoticeLiveRegion listens for. As a result, flows such as toolbar deferred notices or error-boundary notices remain silent to screen readers in the GitHub Pages/dev host unless a test manually dispatches sp:notice; either the standalone notification port needs to emit that event or the live region should subscribe to the actual notification source.

P2 Badge Force repeated notices to mutate the live region

When the same notice text and severity fires twice in a row, these assignments leave the reactive values unchanged, so Vue does not update the live-region DOM and screen readers generally have no new mutation to announce. This affects common retry/error scenarios like repeatedly failing the same save action; clear/re-key the region before setting the message, or include an announcement nonce so every notice event produces a DOM change.

* fix(ay): make the P12 additivity/discipline diff tests CI-resilient

The T-AY-014 additivity + T-AY-015 discipline-scan tests shelled out to `git diff
next -- …`, which works in the dev worktree (local `next` branch) but ERRORS in CI's
shallow PR checkout (no local `next` ref) — green locally, red in the PR CI (#453's
unit job). Add a resolveBaseRef() that tries `next` then `origin/next` and returns
null when neither is reachable; the diff-based legs `it.skipIf(BASE_REF===null)` /
`describe.skipIf` so they run wherever a baseline exists (locally + base-fetched CI)
and skip gracefully otherwise — never error. The mount-based render-additivity checks
still run unconditionally. `BASE_REF!` (non-null) under the skip guard. 9/9 local;
typecheck + lint 0.

* fix(ay): guard discipline-scan git diff against a null baseline ref

describe.skipIf only skips the it() runs — the describe factory body still
executes at collection time, so addedSrcLines() ran `git diff <null> -- src`
in CI's shallow checkout (no `next`/`origin/next` ref) and crashed the suite.
Return [] when no baseline is reachable; the it bodies remain skipped.
