standard
WCAG is the W3C standard defining success criteria for making web content accessible, covering contrast, structure, and interaction rules.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Six CogniPrep auditors checked every new screen of a 28-provider test release at 320px before merge and found nearly all real defects at screen bottoms. Their four recurring shapes were all invisible at 1280 pixels, so a desktop-only review would have merged them.
Reality
In a dev.to walkthrough, FFmpeg's silencedetect finds the gaps, a word budget prices each one at 2.5 words a second, and any narration that renders longer than its gap is thrown out and generated again shorter.
Reality
WebAIM found accessibility problems on 96% of the top million homepages using automated tools alone. That corpus is what coding agents pattern-match against, and the remedy on offer is an instruction file the agent reads every session.
Reality
Claude writes two hundred plausible lines in about a minute and checking them properly takes fifteen, so the bugs that survive are the dull mechanical ones, and the honest fix is a script the deploy job depends on.
Reality
A vendor of European Accessibility Act tooling says most of his own market is exempt, and that the exemption covers the accessibility statement and documentation, not just the technical requirements.
Reality
WCAG's four principles cross platforms intact. The markup, the gestures and the accessibility tree do not, and the W3C's mobile guidance is still an informative draft.
Reality
TinyColor's suite asserts contrast ratios to sixteen decimal places. Running it unmodified against a WebAssembly build of a Rust port showed that Math.pow disagrees with itself across platforms.
