AKSRT widget static accessibility audit

Scope: src/WidgetSystem/Renderers/, assets/widgets/frontend.js, and assets/widgets/frontend.css.

The source audit was repeated after remediation. Browser, screen-reader, Lighthouse/axe, console, and network validation remain pending until a target WordPress URL and browser MCP are available.

Critical (WCAG A)

No static critical issue was found.

Serious (WCAG AA)

No unresolved static serious issue remains.

Resolved source findings

• WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard: article and feature tabs now implement Arrow Left/Right, Home/End, focus movement, roving tabindex, and stable tab/panel associations.
• WCAG 2.4.7 Focus Visible: all widget links, buttons, inputs, selects, textareas, and explicit tabindex targets receive high-contrast light, dark, and forced-colors focus rings.
• WCAG 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide: autoplay carousels pause on keyboard focus and expose a labeled, persistent pause/resume button; reduced-motion mode continues to disable autoplay.
• WCAG 4.1.3 Status Messages: AJAX containers expose aria-live and aria-busy, loading skeletons use role="status", and video failure uses an assertive alert.

These contracts are enforced by tests/widget-system/a11y-contract.test.cjs.

Browser verification still required

• Confirm Swiper-generated pagination bullets, disabled navigation states, and pause/resume behavior with the bundled runtime.
• Verify 200% zoom, high-contrast mode, dark-mode contrast, focus order, and focus retention after AJAX replacement.
• Run Lighthouse or axe and perform keyboard-only checks at 1440, 1024, and 390 px in light and dark modes.
