// ACCESSIBILITY

This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, plus AAA contrast for body text. The full design lives in the accessibility design doc.

What's tested in CI

• axe-core via Playwright on every PR
• Lighthouse accessibility category, every audited route
• Token contrast unit tests (AAA body, AA decorative)
• Heading-increment + img-alt MDX lints
• Post-build HTML structural assertion (single h1, single main, named navs, no positive tabindex, accessible names on buttons/links)
• Keyboard-traversal smoke (no traps, focus visible)

Third-party scope

The following surfaces are tested at the container level only; their internals are upstream:

• webmention.io — the response shape is upstream; the rendered list is gated.
• Pagefind UI — default styles on /search; we scope-override where needed.

The garden's motion

Small line-drawn motifs — birds, seedlings, leaves — appear throughout the site. Most sway, fly, or grow into place gently; none of it carries information, so it's marked aria-hidden and never blocks reading.

If you'd rather it held still, a Pause the garden control sits in the site footer, and the same toggle is mirrored in the keyboard-shortcuts overlay (press ? to open it). Your choice is saved and restored on every visit, no re-toggling required. And if your system is set to prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, the garden renders static automatically — no toggle needed.

Known limits

None currently. (If a wontfix-rationale finding lands later, this list updates automatically at next deploy.)
