Static analysis revealed no tooling in place to detect or track WCAG 2.2 Level AA violations. This PR establishes a structured remediation checklist covering all 19 high-impact success criteria commonly violated in Next.js/React apps.

Scope

POUR principles covered:

  • Perceivable — image alt text (1.1.1), color contrast (1.4.3), viewport zoom lock (1.4.4), reflow at 320px (1.4.10), non-text contrast (1.4.11)
  • Operable — keyboard access (2.1.1), skip nav (2.4.1), page titles (2.4.2), link purpose (2.4.4), heading order (2.4.6), focus visible (2.4.7), focus not obscured/scroll-padding-top (2.4.11 — WCAG 2.2), target size ≥ 24×24px (2.5.8 — WCAG 2.2)
  • Understandablelang on <html> (3.1.1), form labels (3.3.2), autocomplete on personal data inputs (1.3.5)
  • Robust — ARIA name/role/value (4.1.2), aria-live for dynamic updates (4.1.3)

Top violations to remediate (Next.js-specific)

  • Missing lang="en" on <html> in app/layout.tsx
  • <Image> components missing alt prop
  • Icon-only <button>/<a> elements without aria-label
  • <input>/<select>/<textarea> without associated <label>
  • Skipped heading levels (e.g. h1h3)
  • <div onClick> / <span onClick> — replace with <button> or <a>
  • Sticky header with no scroll-padding-top (WCAG 2.4.11)
  • maximum-scale=1 / user-scalable=no in viewport meta

Note

Full static analysis and runtime scanning (axe-core, IBM Equal Access) require the dev toolchain to be available in the execution environment. Specific file-level violations and diffs will follow once scanning is unblocked.
